It’s going to get a lot more huggy in the brand image of Team DeSantis 2.0
According to campaign officials, and those inside the operations, DeSantis will stop talking about Florida, tone down the wokeism and confrontation with the alphabet people, drop the expensive platform speeches and focus on small group meetings to help the candidate learn how to like people more. In essence, stop being the DeSantis campaign. (snip)Expect fewer big speeches and more handshaking in diners and churches. There will be more of a national focus than constant Florida references. And the mainstream media may start to get more access.

How do you learn to like people more? He's doing a do-over. It won't help. He'd be better off dropping out and just waiting for the next term.

Unless he drops the Karl Rove crowd, he’s just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Sort of like reshuffling the Fox nightly lineup.
Unfortunately, likability (IMO) is not something learned; it’s innate.
Poor Ron.

All the new "focus" makes him more like how the GOPe run campaigns. Bow to the media pressure and avoid controversy.

I haven't written DeSantis off just yet. This is a long campaign and we are still early. He is learning from mistakes which is important. I'll continue to watch DeSantis and see how he evolves. We all know at best Trump is one term only going forward. We need a strong bench after 2024. Even if Trump wins and meets all our expectations, in 2028 someone had to come behind him and continue. The Deep State has been in development since FDR. It will not go quietly into that good night. It will take more than Trump.

People are known by the company they keep or in this case DeSantis is known by the donor class who supports him and the individuals from whom he seeks advice. Neither of these groups make me confident of the way he would govern should he be elected POTUS. Additionally the way he sorta threw his Florida constituents under the bus to run for President now when he could easily have waited until 2028 when he would have been the clear front runner doesn't sit well with me. Maybe Casey's pushing him to run now because she badly wants to be FLOTUS. In any case, for me the bloom is off the DeSantis rose.

I think one of the problems is that DeSantis has no charisma. He doesn’t seem to have much of a sense of humor either. When he laughs it’s kind
of awkward and wooden. Can he fill the stadiums like President Trump?
I don’t think so.

#8 is correct. And there is no way Trump wins a general election. Even with ridiculous court proceedings, he's openly running against 55% of the Republican party. For the RINOs he trashes, does anyone think their voters are going to fall in line with him? Without moderates, independents and disaffected Democrats, he's toast. And with all the coverage in conservative media about Biden and Burisma and Hunter, it's being ignored and swept under the rug by the MSM. Also, national polls are irrelevant and Trump remains behind in the swing states.

I'd be very happy if DeS stays another term. I like everything he's done here in FL.

Anyone else struck by similarities between Ron DeSantis and Jeb Bush?
Florida is a prosperous state. Any incumbent governor will reap the benefits of that as long as nobody screws it up. That makes governing easy. Just stay out of the way and keep everyone else out of the way. Florida can take care of itself for the most part from an economic view. Basically, do nothing for the most part. You never know the governor well because they never have to step forward much.

He is hurting his chances to ever be president. Go home. Help trump fix 2020 fraud by putting him where he belongs in the presidency. The only way to save the republic is to fix 2020, at this point the only way to fix 2020 is to put trump back in office. I think by running, desantis is not america first he is desantis first and a rino hoping the marxists can do in trump.

Give it up, Ronnie.
The only sensible decision - - is to enthusiastically throw your support behind President Trump. Don't allow your ego to determine your choices.

I don’t think it matters what Ron does. The establishment is wasting money. The number 2 person really beginning to garner attention is Vivek. I watched every minute of his NH speech and Q&A yesterday. Uh-oh.

Good grief. I feel like I’m on a liberal website. DeSantis is closer to Trump in how he would govern, if elected than any of the others running and yet he is just like Jeb, or he is boring, or his wife is making him run. Those are the things I hear on The View and MSNBC. Again, Trump is likely to be our nominee, and we will go down in flames again as he gets his second chance. Sorry, but the Democrats are way ahead in getting “vote” in the right states. I’ll certainly do my share and vote for Trump, but he’s not going to win in my state, and he needs this state.

Relaunch it for 2028. That's the only way it will make any headway.

Is he going to dump his Bush cabal advisors? Given the level of loathing for anything Bush in this country, they are the biggest millstone around his neck weighing him down.

I’m sorry, but I have to voice my opinion. My father served in the army Corps of Engineers over 30 years. When he retired to the St.Augustine area of Florida, Ron DeSantis was his congressional representative. Dad was very political and actually contacted his representatives in both the congress and senate. He was extremely impressed with Rep. DeSantis. As a President Trump supporter, I was thrilled with the prospect of a Trump/ DeSantis ticket that would allow DeSantis to run as almost an incumbent in 2028. 🇺🇸 I am heartbroken 💔 that he has been blinded by the corrupt RINO faction and never Trumpers. 😢

Ron, you're winning in Florida, big time. Don't let them do this to you. Cancel your campaign for another time. You can't rebrand crap, and the people you're working with have crapped your brand. Stop! while you can.
