Great gov but he’s embarrassing himself at this point.

Just another classic case of the RINO establishment wrecking everything. DeSantis had an ideal situation in Florida, where he had won the last election by 20 points, and was only becoming more popular. If he had been patient, he may have had a good shot at running for president in 2028 and possibly keeping the dems shut out of the White House for 12 years (4 Trump followed by 8 DeSantis). But instead, the RINO consultants and donors started whispering in his ear, trying to seduce him into running against Trump, with their only aim being to derail Trump’s comeback. They didn’t really care if DeSantis won the general election (in fact, they might have still preferred a democrat), they just wanted to use him as a weapon against Trump.

And that ill-conceived plan has now destroyed DeSantis’s political career, has made him much less popular in Florida and could end up handing the Florida governorship back to the dems, which would make future national elections in Florida more difficult for Republicans. The only good thing is that DeSantis’s “campaign” has had zero effect on Trump’s run.
