DeSantis though is not able to raise enough money to stay in much longer, unless he makes a big showing in Iowa or NH.Many of his early supporters defected to Haley. Many of his original Super Pac staff was fired or resigned. They (the Super Pac) just cancelled 2.5 million in ads they were going to run in Iowa and NH.
He's doing OK, but not as good as he was. $15 million announced Wednesday was raised for the third quarter across three political committees – his campaign account, a political action committee and a joint fundraising account that directs money to the other two accounts, his campaign said.

The campaign entered with $13.5 million in cash on hand, the official said.

I don't think so... in fact I'd take that bet.

His potential path to WH goes through Senate in 2026, and then try for WH in 2028.

Actually Senate might be tricky, because he'd have to oust either Rubio or Scott. House Rep maybe.
Just as an FYI, DeSantis has already run for a US House seat and WON 3 times! He resigned from the House during his third 2-year term to run for and WIN the governor's seat in Florida. He has since run for and WON a second 4-year term as governor in a landslide victory over Charlie Crist, a former governor of Florida.

Good.

We don't need a libertarian extremist splitting the vote.

All aboard the Trump Train!

If ever there was a time for Trump to 'turn off-turn down' the drama... it would be now. Imagine if he just ignored it? not sure he can, but imagine.

I don't think that means much. In most congressional districts, they are gerrymandered so a trained seal can win a specific district whether Red or Blue. And as for winning governor twice, so did Chris Christie, his was a landslide too, and that was in a deep Blue state. And then cratered in primaries for presidential electiona. So I don't know that you can expand his success in Florida and one congressional district out to make an argument that DeSantis will be successful in a national election.

That's what Bill O'Reilly always says. That if he would run on his record he'd do great, but he can't stop himself from the drama. He says he is literally incapable of stopping.

Libertarian??? I never heard of any Libertarian involving the government in punishing a private business for their views and speech. No libertarian would ever do what he did with Disney.

... and what's he's doing with Disney is making them play by the rules everyone else is.

He literally said he wanted to abolish the IRS.

Doesn't get more anarchist, or excuse me, libertarian than that.
