This is embarrassing for DeSantis and his supporters.
This is not a hill you want to die on—if you talk to real live Iowa caucus goers you would get it.
One of DeSantis big problems was that he ran an astroturf campaign and confused press conferences with getting to know real voters and what mattered to them.
The political posturing and trying to score cheap political points is exactly what they hate.
DeSantis needs to stop digging a deeper hole for himself—now.
I say this with the kindest of intentions.
He needs to stop—now.
It’s not a hill to die on, it’s a simple principle that elections shouldn’t be called 8 seconds into the actual election. Either you support those types of shenanigans or you don’t.
