DeSantis Is In Panic Mode, Flailing Sadly [1]

The flop sweat is strong with this one:

Report: DeSantis Camp Deep In Panic Mode Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is preparing to reboot his Republican presidential campaign amid stagnating poll numbers and concerns about financing, according to a reportThursday in NBC News… There’s also growing concern about the breakneck pace at which DeSantis has been spending campaign funds. He brought in $20 million during last quarter’s fundraising haul, but a reported 70% of his donors have already given the federal maximum for a primary race. The governor has also struggled to secure a large coalition of smaller donors

So what’s the big messaging bullet point for this week in order to try to revive his limp campaign? LOL:

“So we’re going to be launching an inquiry about Bud Light and InBev,” DeSantis said. “And it could be something that leads to a derivative lawsuit filed on behalf of the shareholders of the Florida pension fund, because at the end of the day, there’s got to be penalties for when you put business aside to focus on your social agenda at the expense of hardworking people.”

Uh, excuse me but aren’t you the king of putting politics over business acumen, gifting California all of the money you lost for Florida? Aghem, Disney. You’re the one who targeted Bud Light in the first place and sunk their revenue, sinking your own state’s pension and hurting your own citizens. You’re the one who made Modello the number one beer in America.

In the words of someone somewhere: “There’s got to be penalties for when you put business aside to focus on your social agenda at the expense of hardworking people.”

I have a feeling DeSantis is feeling that penalty right about now. What a loser. It was all tee’d up for him by the entire media ecosystem, all of whom wanted Trump to lose. And he was such a doofus that he still flubbed it. Talk about not ready for primetime.

This guy has zero self-awareness. And he’s got zero ideas. And he’s got zero ideas on what to do about it.
