If the situation was hopeless, the constant propaganda would not be necessary.
The propaganda DeSantis has faced is little league stuff. The Deep State has barely put out.
Try seven years of 24/7 propaganda from two (and now three) cable news organizations, CIA PSYOPs, investigations, impeachments, indictments. Now that's anti Trump propaganda necessitated by Trump's popularity.
News stories you don’t like aren’t automatically propaganda. Reporting on DeSantis’s past and current associations is called “taking a closer look”. Do you think DeSantis should be spared from that? All candidates go through it. It’s part of the process and always has been.
As far as claiming that negative news stories about DeSantis are evidence that he still has a chance, that’s true as far as it goes, which isn’t very. It’s like claiming an outclassed boxer still has a chance of knocking out the champ because the champ still has his guard up and is throwing punches.
