His campaign started off with a catastrophic stumble and firings, but even though Gov. Ron DeSantis is trailing former President Donald Trump in all the public opinion polls by "bigly" numbers, he could still be in contention to win the GOP presidential nomination.
Maybe.
President Trump's support across the nation is solid, regardless of the indictments and lawsuits,
DeSantis's has been dropping like a rock but shows glimmers of promise.
Now that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is set to endorse him, DeSantis's prospects of gaining more traction are pretty good.
This past weekend at the Florida GOP "Freedom Summitt" in Kissimmee, Florida, which just so happens to be done the road from the land of Mickey, who DeSantis has a big beef with, the Republican faithful turned out in big show of support for DeSantis when he addressed the group.
DeSantis's speech was stellar. It hit all the points. First Lady Casey DeSantis's address was also on point.
Now, fast forward about 5 hours later when President Trump showed up to speak, the mood in the room completely changed.
It appeared that Trump's support at the summit was double that of DeSantis's.
The atmosphere was nothing less than electric.
This was a typical Trump-esque indoor rally.
It was obvious that Trump won the day, and many attendees we spoke to said glowing things about both men, but added that the would like to see Trump as President and DeSantis stay as governor, for now.
The sentiment in the room was that they wanted DeSantis to wait it out for 2028.
DeSantis's campaign team is made up of very few veteran consultants, and is comprised of mainly very green, very dumb, and very ignorant staffers, specifically his communications team which is comprised of nitwits that have let their egos get the best of them.
DeSantis's biggest problem is his comms team. They really suck at their jobs, especially his untruthworthy, cowardly, and injection-happy keyboard warriors.
How many stupid mistakes have they make over the past few months? Why haven't them been fired?
That's on DeSantis.
But with all that said, DeSantis needs to have another great debate performance this coming week.
The problem for DeSantis is that Trump is now campaigning and Americans are showing massive support for him.
The polls arent's changing, and now that Florida state lawmakers are flipping their support to Trump (more are expected), things could get tougher for DeSantis before they get easier, if they get easier...READ MORE
