[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m starting to worry about DeSantis. He’s so far down the right wing media rabbit hole that he sounds unhinged.

DeSantis is a smart politician. He's realized that primary voters do not care about businesses or the establishment. If anything, being the choice of business interests hurts. [/quote]

:P yeah, yeah, totally - he's totally looking to alienate businesses. that's 40 dimensional chess, is what that is! he meant to drop in the polls, too. a choice, i'm telling you! a big fat choice![/quote]

Trump gave a roadmap, but every insurgent who has primaried an establishment candidate all the way back to the tea party should be an indication that republican primary voters do not care what the chamber of commerce thinks [/quote]

I mean, there's a lot to unpack there.

First of all, how are those insurgents doing in general elections?

Second of all, isn't the big problem with Lil D that he is seen both as an establishment candidate, and also as a whackadoodle? Like the people who want a normie R see Lil D as too volatile and frickin weird. And the ones who want an insurgent see him as faking being an insurgent while at his heart he's an establishment Bushie.

He isn't playing 40 dimensional chess here. He got high on his own supply. He bought the hype but didn't do the work, and it's showing. He's also a fakie faker who stands for nothing other than trying to grab the Fox spotlight - but even at Fox they are back to sidling over to Trump, who like it or not really is Lil D's daddy in this scenario. A bloated, addled, drooling, incoherent but still weirdly compelling daddy.[/quote]

You can't win a general election unless you win the primary. DeSantis is doing everything possible to not be the establishment candidate because he knows that they have zero chance. Someone like Haley may be great in a general election, but we'll never know because she'll be down in the others receiving votes category in every primary along with Hutchinson and Sununu  [/quote]

Haley is trying to be the weirdo anti-woke candidate, too. They all are. We'll never know how a normie, pro-business, small government type would do in a primary because we'll never get one of those. They are all campaigning as if pronouns are the greatest threat to this country's happiness and prosperity.

Lil D had to understand that out front, he was putting on a show of being a whackadoodle, while behind closed doors he was assuring Big Business that he's stable, normal, wants low taxes and a predictable business environment. Instead he's going after Disney as if Disney threatened his mom. He's out of his league.

As I keep saying - he might turn this around. Who knows. Maybe he's hired some better advisors. Maybe he'll catch the right wind. Who knows. Who knows! We could all get that unlucky. But right now he's floundering. He believed the headlines about being the second coming, the great hope who could save the country from Trump while also drawing in the rabid MAGA crowd, all that. He didn't seem to realize that now he actually has to perform.
