Ron DeSantis cuts more than three dozen staff from struggling campaign

By Jesse O’Neill
July 25, 2023

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has slashed more than a third of his campaign staff as his bid for the Republican presidential nomination struggles to gain traction with voters.

The layoffs amounted to 38 jobs cut across multiple departments and came under two weeks after the 44-year-old reportedly axed about a dozen other workers.

The campaign confirmed the shakeup, which was first reported by Politico Tuesday.

“Following a top-to-bottom review of our organization, we have taken additional, aggressive steps to streamline operations and put Ron DeSantis in the strongest position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden,” DeSantis campaign manager Generra Peck said in a statement.

“Governor DeSantis is going to lead the Great American Comeback and we’re ready to hit the ground running as we head into an important month of the campaign.”

That's a shame, because it means it's that much more likely that we will be saddled with the Orange Albatross in 2024, and that one of the most corrupt presidents this country has had in living memory, if not longer, will go on to a second term.

Well, in light of everything that is happening, I believe you are correct.  I still think he should have waited till the very last minute to run.  He's going to have to fight for every single vote and ward off the Trump smear campaign at the same time.

It's really a shame.  Another true conservative pummeled by Trump.  Trump probably isn't going to be the nominee and if he is, he won't win the general.

I don't think we as a country are going to make it till '28.

DeSantis' wife needs to take the campaign's reigns.

Poltical mercenaries for hire won't get the job done.  They'll just leech off his campaign's treasury.

Go after Trump for what?  Most policies Ron has are plagerized from Trump --- supported by hours of video of Ron praising Trump for all he's accomplished.   The only option Ron has is to side with Biden and support the government's lawfare targeting Trump ----- which will guarantee Ron finishes in the single digits.

Ron should have thought this through.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Trump's 'policies' are retread stiff he didn't get done the last time because he thought he could get by with the low hanging fruit and use that as his marketing ploy.

And he talked down fighting the woke till he realized woke was cool and their was no risk of political capital.

Bottom line is he did almost nothing to stop the DC cesspool, and if anything enlarged it with his asleep at the wheel stance on COVID.

When the chips are down Trump can't pull the trigger. RDS can and has. Four more years of Trump is four more years on the hamster wheel.

Yep, he sure did.  And he surrounded himself with too much expensive dead wood from past GOP campaigns and followed their bad advice.

I can’t see how any other candidate will overcome Donald Trump’s lead in the GOP primary

And, if it starts to look like he slips behind during the primary season, leftist groups will repeat their strategy that they did in 2022 in the open primaries to make sure Trump is the nominee

They’re confident because they know the left will also help them put Donald Trump over the top in the Republican primary, where they can

I’ll do you one better

Here’s from August 2007 between Hillary and Obama

https://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/07/gallup.poll/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has notably widened her lead over her closest competitor in the 2008 Democratic presidential race, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, according to a new national USA Today/Gallup Poll released Monday night.

The survey, following a high-profile spat between the two candidates over who is better suited to handle foreign policy, shows Clinton at 48 percent -- a 22-point lead over Obama. Clinton's support is up 8 percentage points from a similar poll conducted three weeks ago, while Obama, at 26 percent, is down 2 percentage points. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards stands at 12 percent.


 
So at this time in 2007, the two candidates that would have faced off in 2008 would have been Hillary and Rudy


The problem we have this time in the GOP primary is left-wing groups repeating the same tactic from 2022 to help ensure that Donald Trump is the nominee

To beat Trump, DeSantis campaign will need to be more manic and frenetic than Trump, the person.
Tora! Tora! Tora! - Always on Offense

For the GOP Primaries, the DeSantis Campaign can ignore, redirect, and deflect the lamestream liberal media ... GOP primary voters aren't drinking MSNBC's Kool-Aid.

Reason, logic, moral highground, etc., means nothing.  It's all energy at this phase.

Bush Admin leftovers are exactly the wrong people to run a GOP Primary campaign.
