10. Because he drank his own Kool Aid

Lived in the Faux news, Right wing twitter bubble.
Someone on MSNBC summed it up nicely. He has never been an outstanding or exceptional politician. He barely beat Andrew Gillum. Trump is right that he had to save him in that race. The Democratic leadership in FL has not been up to par. At this point, I would say that Dems failures helped re-elect him. This is not bashing democrats. It’s OK to acknowledge where mistakes were made. Just like how we have to acknowledge that mistakes were made in NY that helped us lose the house.

So because it appeared that he easily beat a democrat, at the same time that trump picks tanked,OZ et al, folks decided to crown him the new king. That was wishful thinking. From the very beginning, folks familiar with him were saying, Nah, he’s not ready for prime time.
