DeSantis didn’t understand that his support base was primarily also Trump’s support base. The moment he declared for president against Trump most of his support evaporated.

What you point out is Bush/Cheney level strategery. We will do a deal with the radical left. They can have whatever they want if they support us in invading Iraq, fixing the Middle East and cementing our control over the global rules based order upon which Western Civilization apparently depended.

Left took one look and said done and dusted. And here we are.

DeSantis 2028 would have been a perfectly sensible plan, and maybe letting people know that he is around if Trump gets blowed up like everyone was plotting. But instead he tried to become the blower upper and sabotage 2024. All he did was sabotage himself.

Like they say, if you don't know who the mark in the room is, it's you, RDS.

Actually the slide began after he left meeting with the GOPe and waffled on Ukraine. It just got worse and worse. Before that l believe he had a shot because some of the base was thinking Trump is too polarizing. Well Ron took a flametorce to his chances

Bears repeating.
