A confidential campaign memo obtained by NBC News lays out what the Florida governor’s presidential campaign sees as its path forward: focusing on the early states, refusing to give up on New Hampshire, not yet investing in Super Tuesday battlegrounds, zeroing in on DeSantis’ biography and sowing doubts about his competitors — particularly Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.
As DeSantis’ ability to surpass former President Donald Trump as leader of the Republican Party is now an open question among the GOP faithful, the memo is an effort by the governor’s top aides to reach out to donors to provide more clarity on their path forward.
“From my understanding, if we don’t see a bump in the polls, we are basically going to shut down the idea of a national operation,” a DeSantis-aligned operative said.
The person said the shift needs to happen because it’s clear to activists and donors that the current operation is not working. DeSantis needs to signal to them that he recognizes this fact — before any future poll shows him falling from second place nationally or in an early state, the person said.
For some veteran Republicans, the attempts to resurrect a campaign that has been taking on water since the day it launched in late May might already be too late.

What's interesting is that they claim they are focused on the early states, and they have knocked on 700,000 doors, in 6 states, including the first 4 primary states.
But the polls don't reflect any bump.

What stumbles?
He just doesn’t have support.
Jeb at least made it to some debates
A confidential campaign memo obtained by NBC News
The little guy from Florida has plenty of money and will be around awhile.
Trump will eventually KO the kid, but it won’t be Orange Tyson vs Spinks, it’ll more like be Orange Ali vs Patterson.
Can Ron beat Yeb!’s 4 delegate haul?
First, this totally has the ring of truth. DeSoros has seen his #s DETERIORATE since he announced, from 30% in Mar to about 14-17% now.
Second, the fact that they single out SCOTT suggests that they are shooting at the guy coming up from behind, not the front runner.
Right after DeSantis announces, he shifted from focusing on the base to donors and endorsements. In a week he received support of a lot of big donors and GWB and flipped his position on Ukraine. He quickly tanked in the polls.
Trump’s competitors in 2016 all went after the big donors and wouldn’t take on immigration. They all lost.
I’ll take “what happens when the Uniparty/globalists/NeverTrumpers try to push a not ready for prime time candidate?” For $200 Alex.
There is enough cross referenceable information that was true, that the memo appears to be true, but I was questioning the lack of a signature block or who the memo was from.
We’ll know soon enough, if team desantis says anything about this...
in about a week or so, after they audience test their reponses.. lol
““Early state voters are only softly committed to the candidates they select on a ballot question this far out — including many Trump supporters,” the memo said.”
dream on, you fools ... trump supporters are amongst the most hard-core committed on the planet ...
Oh crap
