SCOOP: FL Gov. Ron DeSantis has agreed to a lucrative book deal w/ HarperCollins, 2 sources told me. He backed out of a handshake deal worth nearly $2M w/ Simon and Schuster after he realized it had the same parent company as CBS News, which had run a very negative piece on him.

1. So Magats are not opposed to books that they write.

I'm sure DeSantis isn't doing the writing.

2. The proposed title for the new book is "My Struggle."

3. May they lose money on this deal.

Of course, writing books that the MAGAs will buy in bulk is lucrative way of funding campaigns.

5. Presidential campaign 101

The GOP will probably buy every copy to fraudulently put it on the best seller list. And later return them.

6. Who is their audience? Most R's don't read

That was rude, most R's that are completely engulfed in conspiracy theories don't read.

7. Money laundering scheme.

Astro-turfed organizations funded by oligarchs will buy up his books to distribute to "members". (or to store in warehouses)

Book will make the best seller list (perhaps with an asterik), DeSantis will claim intellectual legitimacy, and the Governor will pocket millions of dollars.
