Trouble in Paradise: Trump has soured on DeSantis, blames him for losing Florida.

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 president’s allies, but privately relations are strained with the White House, reported Politico.

“Everybody in the White House besides the president can’t stand Ron anymore because they realize, and now I think the president is realizing, that he made Ron DeSantis, and Ron isn’t really doing anything to help him win Florida,” said a political operative from the state who’s now working in Washington, D.C. “He’s focused on his own political career right now.”

By emulating Trump's deliberate amplification of the pandemic, he's helped Trump screw the pooch.

DeSantis has long been rumored to have presidential ambitions for 2024, but the current president’s allies will make sure that never happens if Trump loses in November.


That's never going to happen, but even the thought of it...

Nowadays, impossibly, the GOP’s floor is even lower, and will continue to sink further. Don’t rule out Sarah Palin for 2024, although after Trump she might be viewed as a bit too intellectual to serve as their standard bearer.

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.

They interviewed a latino woman in South Florida who thinks Biden is a socialist and Trump is the key to "freedom." What a joke.

I hear those exact themes in suburban Miami all the time.

"...doesn't love America."

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."

trump will turn on all republicans , in Congress, and the American people. That's his pattern he's always used when he doesn't get his way, hurt everyone he can , and as harmful and cruel as possible.

I can’t say I feel sorry for either politician or their staffers and for once I hope Individual One’s electoral prediction comes true. It would be so nice to see a Trump loss in Florida presage a De Santis defeat.

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.
