December 12, 2023
"Ron DeSanctimonious must have a real fixation for being embarrassed and disrespected for the entire world to see. He must really like it or he’s just along for the ride. Either way, his epic flameout will be studied by political scholars for generations and will be a case study on how not to run a campaign.

Ron DeSanctimonious, who has been in a downward spiral in the polls, has until today to remove his name from the 2024 Florida GOP primary ballot.
A new poll released this morning shows that President Trump is leading DeSanctus by 41 points in Florida.
DeSanctus, as has been the trend everywhere, has continued to fall, dropping 4 points in Florida since August. In Florida, Trump's lead has grown to double Ron's support.
To make matters much worse for DeSanctus, a new report from The Associated Press shines a light on possible illegal coordination between the DeSanctus campaign operation and supporting super PACs.
From The Associated Press:
The governor and his wife, Casey, who is widely considered his top political adviser, were especially frustrated after the group took down a television ad last month that criticized leading Republican rival Nikki Haley for allowing a Chinese manufacturer into South Carolina when she was governor.
DeSantis’ team shared those messaging concerns with members of Never Back Down’s board, which includes Florida-based members with close ties to the governor, according to multiple people briefed on the discussions. Some of the board members then relayed the DeSantis team’s wishes to super PAC staff, which was responsible for executing strategy, the people said.
