I love imagining him being legitimately confused every night over this. Like, "I don't get it! I said Biden was evil 3 times, said I'd support Trump, AND am not woke. Why don't they like me???"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Once upon a time, the Florida governor had high hopes to dethrone Donald Trump atop the GOP, but his campaign has been floundering amid a series of unforced errors and questions about his ability to connect with voters.
Campaign manager James Uthmeier recently sent out a debate strategy memo laying out that DeSantis was “fully prepared” to be the “center of attacks.” This may explain why he wasn’t really going on the offensive himself.
DeSantis instead stood stiffly at the middle podium, delivering well-rehearsed monologues and tired lines about President Biden staying in his basement, while failing to say anything remotely memorable.
DeSantis stayed focused on the American people and fighting for their future with a clear vision to fix our economy, secure the border, empower parents, back law enforcement and stand up to the leftist elite and the D.C. establishment,” he said in a statement Wednesday night.
He showed a little more assertiveness when he weighed in on whether the U.S. should stop funding Ukraine’s effort to beat back Russian aggression, but then started fumbling as he tried to make a point about China — to the apparent delight of Ramaswamy.
He didn’t suffer any huge blows, but simply treading water isn’t going to cut it for a campaign that has been steadily sinking for months, and which is now in danger of dipping below that of Ramaswamy and potentially others.
