'I think at the end of the day, it's very fluid.'
Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t worried despite national polls that show him roughly 50 points behind former President Donald Trump.
During an interview on the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” the Governor downplayed the importance of a fresh Fox News poll showing Trump ahead of him 60% to 13%, and a Quinnipiac poll with a 62% to 12% spread.
“I think it’s a state-by-state thing. So we’re focused our efforts on the early states. I mean, if it was a national Primary, we’d have a different strategy and we’d be applying our efforts differently,” DeSantis said.
The Governor noted specifically that Trump isn’t “leading by those numbers” in Iowa, as evidenced by his campaign “sending him there” to campaign more this fall. However, in the most recent poll from the Hawkeye State, DeSantis is at 14%, suggesting he hasn’t much more traction there than anywhere else.
“I think at the end of the day, it’s very fluid,” DeSantis said.
The Governor then rationalized Trump’s poll lead as being driven by “sympathy” for the former President’s legal issues.
“I think that that has helped him because people look at our (Department of Justice) and FBI and they see the corruption, they see the weaponization. And so I do think that there’s been some sympathy for that and understandably so,” DeSantis said.
“We’ve got a long way to go

Fluid as his brain. I think he is only in this to hurt Trump. GOPe doesn’t care if Biden or a RAT wins as long as Meatball hurts Trump’s chances.
RDS fills his pockets and gets a Pence like reward.
The people still pushing Ron Desantis on this website are either paid to do so or their hatred of Trump has exceeded their desire to beat Joe Biden pic.twitter.com/1O4QmlF7x5— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) September 15, 2023

The GOPe just looks at DeSantis as a puppet to be used and discarded once his political usefulness to them is at an end. They have no intention to win the presidency. The DeSantis supporters around here don’t seem to grasp that.
Ron is banking on President Trump being ejected from the race for whatever reason.
Pretty much true for all the GOP “also ran” hopefuls.
If he is more energetic, I sure don’t see it. He is Jeb like.
I LOL when I heard Ronny say this. Then he followed up with "and I can be President for eight years!". 
Seems Ron can't keep his talking points straight.
The 2024 GOP primary race is over. Like it or not, Donald Trump will be the nominee.
So why is everyone else still plugging away? Either they want the exposure or they are ghoulishly hoping something bad will happen to Trump.
Neither reason is good for the country. It’s time for conservatives to rally around Trump (like him, or not), and do the best we can to reclaim the country.
Trump had his chance. Let’s just move forward with anyone else.
Agree. I would hope DeSantis would have dropped out before this after trailing so far behind Trump. He’s waiting to see if Trump will be able to run, then he’ll make his decision.
Let’s just move forward with anyone else.Name one that isn't already a loser big shot.
You're talking (through your ass) as if he blew his first chance. Much to your dismay, his first one was an excellent one yet to be beat.
Trump accomplished more for America in one 4yr term than any President in your lifetime.
Nope, he's the rightful winner and deserves his revenge.
Let’s just move forward with anyone else.
Right, so they can get cheated too and then gracefully concede, continuing the dictatorship we have now.
*Rolls eyes*
Sewage is mostly lumpy fluid and flows downhill.
Much like ron disgrntled's presidential campaign.
He is getting in dead-cat-bounce territory.
I like DeSantis as a Governor, overall he’s been good for Florida.
What astounds me is how Governor who won as handily as he did, can flop as badly as he is flopping in this primary race.
His campaign is bad, as in hasn’t put a foot right since he announced bad. It’s fascinating to watch this train wreck occur.
