The Miami Herald printed a blistering editorial that took Gov. Ron DeSantis to job for utilizing Florida for his presidential ambitions however then endorsing Trump.
As he exited, he endorsed former President Donald J. Trump. After all, he had no alternative. The Florida governor tried to promote voters the concept he’s identical to Trump, however extra electable, extra cheap — but in addition extra conservative. That didn’t work as a result of, ultimately, DeSantis’ model wouldn’t exist with out MAGA.
…
It’s not simply that he was steamrolled by Donald Trump. DeSantis by no means appeared to wish to save the GOP. He was extra concerned about making it a extra ravenous, angrier and illiberal social gathering. That labored for Trump, however didn’t work for the governor with all of the charisma of burned toast.
So now DeSantis’ presidential marketing campaign has ended. However the harm of the legal guidelines he has pushed via in Florida, as he landed extra appearances on Fox Information, will reside on. With out his political ambitions, there probably wouldn’t be “Don’t say homosexual,” woke wars and the waste of state sources to combat meaningless battles towards drag queen bars. These have been efforts to attraction to Trump’s base however his supporters refused to depart the previous president, particularly after he was indicted.
DeSantis screwed up Florida or screwed it up extra, relying in your perspective, as a result of he wished to be president. Gov. DeSantis will now head again to Florida for the subsequent three years until his sucking as much as Trump lands him on the presidential ticket or with a job in a future Trump administration.
DeSantis is barely 45 years outdated, however his marketing campaign was such a spectacular failure that it’s troublesome to see him ever being a reputable presidential candidate once more. Ron DeSantis was supposed to save lots of the GOP from Trump, however as a substitute, he dropped out earlier than New Hampshire and kissed the gold-plated handcuffs of the probably Republican presidential nominee and doubtlessly convicted felon.
