"Ron DeSantis and his campaign have now decided their prospects of success are so dire, they’re running to the corporate media-- their words-- to lower expectations and to gaslight voters into believing he doesn’t have to win any state in the primary. Essentially, he’s campaigning to be top loser. 

And when there are reports about DeSantis being ‘apoplectic’ over his puppet master Jeff Roe, it’s safe to say when the Always Back Down drama bus is a-rockin,’ don’t come a-knockin.’

Just in time for the Iowa-Iowa State football game, a new poll shows President Trump crushing DeSantis by a score of 51 to 14 in the state."

On August 24, 2023, Always Back Down consultant Jeff Roe gave Ron DeSantctimonious 60 days to "beat Trump."

Another day, another gaffe from the DeSanctimonious camp. Yesterday, POLITICO quoted a DeSanctus spokesperson saying, “I don’t think there’s a single state we have to win."

The report highlighted the DeSanctus camp's realization that their campaign has completely stalled out and the revelation that they've lowered their sights to just a "strong second" place finish.

Meanwhile, President Donald J. Trump continues to expand his lead in Iowa, in early states, and in national polls while packing out an arena in South Dakota on Friday night to announce the endorsement of Governor Kristi Noem.
