Ron DeSantis may have lost the White House by handing his social media operation over to clueless youngsters who offended both donors and voters, while being outwitted by Donald Trump.
And analysts warned his faltering campaign may have been strangled at birth by inexperienced staffers given free rein to use Nazi imagery and faked photos of Trump kissing his chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci.
Many were posted online by third-parties but they were made in the war room, according to two former aides as well as text messages reviewed by The New York Times.
But the most notorious was a video that featured the governor's face superimposed over the Florida Seal which turned into the Nazi-era Sonnenrad badge, complete with what appeared to be two columns of stormtroopers marching off to war.
'Most high-dollar donors are businesspeople,'
'Nobody wants to buy a burning house.'

So the desantis campaign thought they could some how leverage themselves into being supported by them, by edgy, social media
In several cases, team desantis and desantis himself, lied and mis-represented they didn't create stuff, when they were the actual source of the media, because they used 3rd party accounts to leak them.
You know, the "plausible deniability" thing...
Yet, somehow you're suppose to trust desantis as president?
Nope.
Taking on the Trump Train did him in. He never had a chance.
He would have been better served by continuing to govern Florida well and ignore the siren song of the big money elites.
By not doing so, he may have permanently damaged his brand.
Trump does....
They are better at it...
And they don’t have to make up stuff to be good at it..
Unfortunately, twitter makes people log in now to browse post, otherwise I would be posting dilleymemeteam tweets as examples....
No, DeSantis was a shit candidate and that extends to his shit campaign choices. The problem wasn’t social media it was the man himself.
I'm going to guess Steve Cortes was one former aide.
The main problem with the DeSantis campaign was the candidate.
Yes. One can hardly be the “alternative to Trump” by becoming an antiTrumper. Sort of like, a blind man on a fast horse could see that.
they don't make stuff like
Casey is very disappointed Rob has failed & will never be President

ROB..HAS..A CONTROLLING WIFE

The main problem with the DeSantis campaign was the candidate being revealed.
So true..
I haven’t trusted him since the day he said he wasn’t going to run for president, and then did it anyway.
Good luck if anyone ever sees it. If you’re not paying for it,
Nope, it wasn’t the memes. Being a subordinate for Bush family war mongering deep state is the reason. Please clap.
The bizarre anti-Trump ad that kicked off attacking him for saying he would protect LGBTQ Americans which depicts Ron as a swamp dwelling creature kinda set the tone of FAIL.
I know that multiple prominent podcasters who were otherwise neutral or even supported DeSantis drew the line when his team posted faked pictures, such as the one with Trump and Fauchi hugging, and would not admit they weren’t real.
