Why did Ron poll so low in the primaries? This guy is amazing. Was it because too many people wanted Trump?
Trump and DeSantis were virtually tied in the polls until Trump got inducted and became a martyr that people felt compelled to defend. The story was planted that DeSantis had globalist donors (who were actually Trump or Haley donors) to make them feel good about it. And now that the Trump family has taken over the RNC and wants to move the party left, away from true small government social conservatives like DeSantis and Massie, the future may be difficult for him nationally.

Yes, Trump gave the signal when he criticized DeSantis right before his reelection to governor, and Trump’s campaign staff and more cultish followers started bashing DeSantis mercilessly. They even targeted his wife, which is something Trump likes to do to his main rivals.
