https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/white-house-turning-on-gops-desantis-ron-isnt-really-doing-anything-to-help-win-florida/Gov. Ron DeSantis has watched his approval ratings tumble through the coronavirus pandemic, and that growing unpopularity could cost President Donald Trump re-election.
The Republican governor still enjoys public support from the Trump campaign and the presidents allies, but privately relations are strained with the White House, reported Politico.
Everybody in the White House besides the president cant stand Ron anymore because they realize, and now I think the president is realizing, that he made Ron DeSantis, and Ron isnt really doing anything to help him win Florida, said a political operative from the state whos now working in Washington, D.C. Hes focused on his own political career right now.
Heh.

(490 posts)Nowadays, impossibly, the GOPs floor is even lower, and will continue to sink further. Dont rule out Sarah Palin for 2024, although after Trump she might be viewed as a bit too intellectual to serve as their standard bearer.
PatSeg
(47,496 posts)Every cycle, the republican presidential lineup gets weirder and apparently, the dumber, the better. Any reasonable, mature candidates need not apply. It was frequently called a circus for a reason.

maybe trump walks so weirdly because of how many times he's shot himself in the foot.

(54,403 posts)It was a film based on the recollections of Hitler's secretary and the last moments of the Reich where Hitler basically lost it (both figuratively and literally). He was ranting and screaming about how everybody had betrayed him by not pulling a rabbit out of a hat and saving his sorry ass. Nothing, of course, was EVER his fault. The true King of Didd in "the year the King got angry with the sky."

(37,457 posts)Florida has tons of retired people, who tend to vote. If Trump hadn't screwed the pooch with a and b in the subject line, he *might* be doing a lot better. Nope, too bad so sad, Mass-Murderer-in-Chief, not all senior citizens and Florida citizens are Trump zombies.
