Meatball has gone stale
Somebody let him rot
He needs to stop out
He peaked too early.........
He really should have waited until 2028...............
There are multiple reasons. How they precisely fit together hardly matters.
Briefly, he’s not Trump, he’s not Reagan, and even if he isn’t actual GOPe, he has enough talent in shooting himself in the foot to pass as a natural.
Because he shouldn’t have run and he surrounded himself with McRomBushes.
Itās like he didnāt want to wait his turn. Many saw him as a potential candidate for ā28 after Trump was finished. Either the establishment got to him or he was one of them all along and had us fooled. He has been a good governor I believe.
When he was doing ābetterā he had a fair number of supporters who were really supporting ānot Trumpā. Now that he has fallen in with the pack, he loses votes to other ānot Trumpā.
Because he’s a meatball sub!
Because to two reasons in my opinion: Firstly, the people who are backing him are swamp creatures, Secondly, because he did not give Trump any thanks for helping him become Gov. He could have been more gracious and supportive.
1. Heās an Ivy League lawyer.
2. He has never worked outside government.
3. He began campaigning for President before he even showed up for his first day of work after his re-election as governor of Florida. When that happened, even most of his strong supporters saw him as a con artist and an opportunistic phony.
“Why is DeSantis tanking?”
1. He’s not Trump
2. He’s not MAGA
3. He attacks Trump
4. He’s backed by anti-Trump/RINO/GOPe advisors and mega-donors
5. He’s revealed himself to be little more than your standard politician once he got on the national stage
6. He’s got a low level of charisma
7. His campaign itself has been abysmal, apparently from being poorly run
8. People on the right aren’t as stupid as the RINO/GOPe party like to believe
9. People who pay attention realize all of the above
[have i missed anything important?]
It was obvious early on(check my comments) that vivek and Nikki Haley would play well in the debates. I predicted both of them. I’m also going to suggest that Tim Scott will be the “Challenger” in Iowa
Because Republican voters decided to make the re-election of President Trump as a symbolic message that they're angry at DC and their self-serving abuses of power.
Because they wanted Governor DeSantis to remain in Florida and deliver it to President Trump, with all the accolades and future support that would go with it for a 2028 run of his own.
Because Republican voters think that DeSantis squandered a potential gift horse that was going to be handed to him.

The real problem with DeSantis is he is totally delusional.
He has been a very good governor of Florida. He has done a fine job. Although most of what you like about Florida he inherited. It’s not like he revolutionized Florida. Everything was already in place, the no income taxes, all that stuff. All the things you like were already there, he just maintained it very well. He was very good on his own about cutting spending. He did a good job there.
But he is NOT presidential. He is like a local, regional “manager.” That’s where he is great. He would be an excellent Secretary of Transportation. But he is not presidential. He has no campaign skills. At all.
Big mistake to enter the race. He should have waited 4 years, maybe 8 years. He is a young guy, he is in his 40s, he should have waited.
But he jumped in totally delusional. And he listened to the big donors. And he doesn’t know his history. Those big donors are ALWAYS wrong about candidates. They always back the wrong candidates. They always do it every single time. It’s been charted out, and documented, the history of this. But he listened to them, the Bush crowd, all of that stuff. He’s from the “Jeb Bush” wing of the Republicans so it was a disaster.
The problem is he delusional. He can’t get out. He is a very nasty guy to everybody in real life. He is a very stubborn guy in real life. So he should have when that hurricane hit, said I have to drop out of the race to deal with that, my state and the problems there and got out that way.
But he is going to stay in til the end.
He was tied with Trump at one point when he started. Then he was 10 points behind, then he was 20 points behind, then 30, even 40, then 50. He’s heading to 60 points behind. In NH he is in 5th place. So he is not only a complete and total disaster, his whole campaign this year is a dumpster fire.
But many believe he has completely screwed up any shot at 2028. Nobody will ever go to him again.

He listened to the wrong people early on. He really believes they want to help him; actually they are using him to help themselves further destroy the country. DeSantis will be shocked to wake up one day and learn the truth.
progs are deeply saddened that their pet RINO is stuck in the mud.
Ron should be “50 points ahead” but that mean tweeting PDJT will not obey the GoPe so it is Trump that is 50 points ahead.
.
Itās very simple: Donald Trump won reelection and had it stolen from him. He is literally owed the presidency. Any Republican standing athwart of that is not worth a look.
DeSantis has been rejected by the base because the base despises his Allie’s and money men. American Republicans know that thr big donations come with agreements to policy and the money men hate America and the base.
@$#%! the Big Money Me and their paid for meat puppet DeSantis.
Unfortunately, he let Rove and other Bushites convince him that he could defeat Trump. They don’t really care about defeating Biden, Trump is the target.
Because people want Trump. The rest is a clown show.
WHY IS DESANTIS TANKING?
