“The DeSantasy is over. But Ron DeSanctimonious seems to be the only one living in denial. The first step to recovery is to acknowledge he made a big mistake being disloyal to President Trump and thinking he could actually run against him.

Tonight, DeSanctus will be up on stage with other no-names and has-beens, right where he belongs. He will flail around like a bobble head on stage while trying to gaslight voters about President Trump’s record—a successful record— in order to distract from his own troublesome history.

But voters aren’t buying what he’s peddling, and that’s why he’s falling further and further in the polls. DeSanctus needs to tuck his tail between his high-heeled boots and return home to take care of all the important issues facing Floridians."

—Steven Cheung, Trump spokesperson

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

With just 27 days to go, polls nationwide continue to show the nosedive of Ron’s dumpster fire candidacy.

In the latest CBS poll, President Trump absolutely DOMINATES his competition with DeSanctus trailing 30 points in Iowa, and 37 points in New Hampshire.

But horrific poll numbers are only the start of DeSanctimonious’ Debate Day Disaster.

According to Puck, Ron’s clique of Tallahassee boot lickers are giving him a fatal case of “Bunker Mentality.”

“It’s a small world down there,” the Florida insider noted. “But it’s the bunker mentality that comes from constantly being under attack. It just pushes you deeper into that world.”

You should have chosen your inner circle better Ron!

Semafor is calling tonight’s debate, a “do-or-die” moment for DeSanctimonious after hearing from one of his consultants:

“If he doesn’t do well, if he doesn’t clearly establish that he’s the leader of this debate, then I think [Nikki] Haley probably moves to the second place position kind of firmly, and probably becomes a donor favorite, and probably continues to get a lot of good media treatment,” a Republican consultant backing DeSantis told Semafor. “If he doesn’t do well here, in my opinion, he’s gotta drop out — if he doesn’t want to be embarrassed.”

With the stakes this high for Ron, maybe that’s why we haven’t seen a leaked debate memo from Jeff Roe.
