I am objective and I have no shame in saying that DeSantis got crushed because the base wanted to give Donald Trump another chance at the Presidency.
People didn't want the most effective governor in America over Trump.
DeSantis's campaign couldn't overcome the emotional catharsis that a Trump second term would give to the base.
After the indictments, the nomination was always going to Trump.
After the 2020 election was stole, the base wants a revenge tour.
I didn't understand this dynamic back then and I admit I was wrong.
I will now say it was a mistake for DeSantis to run against Trump. His 2024 primary campaign ended up possibly doing serious damage to his name.
Attacking RFK Jr. on vax is a bad idea because some disaffected DeSantis supporters are still mad at Trump over the vax and we still need every GOP vote to beat Biden. Not talking about the vax is a good idea if Trump is not going to condemn the COVID vax.
I learn from my mistakes and I will admit them.
I was wrong about the primary and I fully own it and I have used it to recalibrate my political analysis.
Yup - you same people said the same thing when he attacked DeSantis.
How'd that work out for you?
