Down and out: How DeSantis tried to fight on two fronts – and cowered in both

Florida governor’s refusal to take on Trump or his ignoring the non-Maga flank of the GOP means he ends his White House run in a no-man’s land

Shortly before Ron DeSantis posted a disappointing second-place finish in Iowa, his old friend and colleague from Congress Francis Rooney told me the Florida governor’s major problem and why he could not knock off Donald Trump.

“Trump’s base support kind of doubled when they started all these indictments,” Mr Rooney, former congressman and US Ambassador to the Vatican told me.

Conversely, Bob Vander Plaats, the Iowa evangelical kingmaker, told me shortly before the caucuses that DeSantis “needs to convince those who are supporting Nikki Haley, ‘listen, you want an alternative to Trump? I’m your guy’. And he needs to convince the Trump voters – ‘Hey, if you want all the good of Trump, but without all the drama, then I’m your guy.’”

These quotes offer the perfect excuses for why a candidate who had won re-election by double digits in the former swing state of Florida and at 45, became the conservative golden boy that the right had dubbed “America’s governor” amid his decision to keep his state open during the Covid-19 pandemic.

And he needs to convince the Trump voters – ‘Hey, if you want all the good of Trump, but without all the drama, then I’m your guy.’”

Desantis, drama free? The man that:

  • put criminal charges against the statistical collecting data on COVID19 in Florida?
  • destroyed the reputation of a venerated Florida university, The New College, by putting policies in place that had most of its educators quit, and 27% of its student body leave in one year?
  • went after Disney because they said they didn’t like a policy Desantis championed?
  • appointed (then confirmed for a second term) Dr. Joseph Ladapo as Florida Surgeon General that told people not to get vaccinated against the global pandemic?

I wonder why that was a hard sell as a “drama free” alternative to Trump to appeal to GOP voters.
