Things are going so bad for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on the campaign trail that analysts
within the Republican party are now recommending that he just pull himself off the campaign trail
altogether. Now, that doesn't mean that they think he should stop campaigning for president, right?
They don't want him to end his campaign. They just want him to go away for a little while, while they
try to figure out what the hell is going so wrong for him. As one strategist puts it , she
said, governor DeSantis cannot get within striking reach of Donald Trump, and every time he makes a
campaign stop, voters seem to step back. So to put it another way, which is what I've been saying for
over a year now, every time Ron DeSantis goes out there and meets people, even if they had
supported him, those people are now less likely to support him after meeting him personally.
After having those one-on-one interactions, people walk away and say, yeah, uh, uh, I'm not doing
that anymore. And what's really great, by the way, uh, I was on vacation all last week, uh, so it's
taken me a little while to get caught up on the news. But one thing that was actually brought
to my attention was that a clip of me from Ring of Fire was actually used in a online DeSantis
campaign ad. And in that ad I was talking about, well, I wasn't in the ad, I didn't approve it.
Um, but they did show a clip of me where I explained that Ron DeSantis is of course, scarier
than Donald Trump because DeSantis has succeeded where Trump has failed. Now, the reason I'm even
bringing that up is because I have no idea how far back they had to dig to find that clip of me
saying, oh, DeSantis is a scary candidate. Because if you've been paying attention to
these videos over the last, you know, two or three months, I have said the exact opposite.
DeSantis is no longer a scary candidate. Decan, uh, DeSantis has proven that he is in fact a
failure on the campaign trail, which is why ever since the day he announced that he is officially
running for president, his poll numbers have gone down, not up. And that is another thing,
by the way, in these multiple reports that have come out where you have Republican strategists
and analysts and even those close to DeSantis saying his polls are going in the wrong direction,
but they think they got an ace up their sleeve, right? So while they want DeSantis himself,
they want Ron off the campaign trail, they want another DeSantis instead to take his
place. And that DeSantis is Florida's first lady, Casey DeSantis, Ron's wife.
They believe that she is likable, she is approachable, she is personable. You know, she,
she's a good person. They think she is the kind of person, the kind of face to put out there on this
campaign to show people, Hey, it's okay. Come on back. Look, we're not creepy and weird. The whole
DeSantis family isn't a bunch of weirdos. I'm totally normal. That's what they're hoping to do.
And this coming Thursday, uh, Casey is gonna be in Iowa with the governor,
Republican governor of Iowa, launching what they're calling mamas for DeSantis,
mamas for DeSantis to try to, you know, shore up the fact that women are
especially repulsed by Ron DeSantis. So they're starting this new branch of the
campaign mamas for DeSantis, so they can maybe, maybe try to bring some women back
into the fold even after Ron recently signed an abortion ban here in the state of Florida,
which of course turned off a lot of women. He actually also recently, uh, just a day or two
ago, signed legislation that has off Republican women in the state. He now has Republican women
angry with him because he's done away with permanent alimony in the state, which a lot of
these, you know, elderly retirees are, are relying on. They say that, you know, I, I would understand
it if I was a Democrat, but I'm a Republican and they're not listening to me. It's actually a quote
by the way, from one of these angry women. But, uh, they think, they think Casey DeSantis can
shore it up. They think Casey DeSantis can go out there and prove that Ron doesn't hate all women,
but based on other reports, kind of seems like Casey might be the one with the big ambitions
that she may be the puppet master behind the scenes pulling the strings on Ron, making him do
what he clearly is not good enough to be doing. So we'll see. Maybe Casey can write the ship,
but maybe at this point they're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
