'I think there's got to be something different for people to see that heart of yours.'
In Iowa Saturday, Ron DeSantis heard from a supporter who suggested his campaign wasn’t successfully showing his “heart,” laying the blame on “consultants” as he questioned whether the Florida Governor could win the Presidency.
During an event in Muscadine, which was hosted by the Never Back Down super PAC, the 2024 presidential candidate was confronted with criticism of how the DeSantis message is delivered.
“I don’t know what your consultants are telling you, and it’s good for me to be here today to see your heart. But I think that needs to come across. So my major question is how are you going to win because you’re not moving in the polls and I’m not all that much about polls, but I think there’s got to be something different for people to see that heart of yours,” the supporter said.
DeSantis did not address his consultants’ strategy deficiencies in the answer, preferring instead to focus on the vagaries of public opinion surveys and chiding the media for covering polling.
The Governor said he “would be very, very skeptical” of opinion surveys, defending his strategy of traversing Iowa and pitching “maybe 20, 30 people” at a given stop.
“I’ll be the only candidate that shows up. That’s not about juice in a poll that’s about on caucus night being able to do that. So my goal is winning. It’s not to fluff this. And they use those to create narratives,” DeSantis said. “I mean, give me a break. Some of this stuff is so fraudulent when you look at it.”

I wonder what Tony Bennett's take on San Francisco was before he died in July of this year, a month shy of his 97th birthday. I'm sure his heart was broken, if that song really communicated the true feelings he had for the city.
A while back Steve Cortez quit being on Steve bannon show and went to work as a consultant to de sanctimonious.

He ignores his supporters who question his consultants because he does not HAVE any consultants. HE is the product THEY created. He has hired no one. He is in charge of no one. He has no vision, plan, or substance at all. These consultants created him to make money and he obeys them.
When he is done in Florida, he will get a cozy lobbyist gig or think tank job as a reward.
Xi's coming to inspect his vast investments in the state of California. I bet most people are utterly oblivious to the amount of influence Xi has there. If they are paying attention though, they may will begin to see the truth.
