Heh. DeSantis thinks his campaign's greatest asset is "himself and his family."

https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-reset/
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis' campaign has reportedly revealed how it will "reset" after failing to gain traction.

Journalist Ben Jacob first published "messaging guidance" bearing the DeSantis campaign logo that he was told was sent to key supporters after reports said DeSantis was cutting one-third of his staff.

"The RDFP campaign is taking aggressive steps to streamline operations, focus its messaging, position itself as the underdog in the 2024 Republican primary, and re-emphasize the campaign's greatest asset: Governor DeSantis and his family," the document states.

According to the guidance, DeSantis will "utilize campaign staff cuts to reinvest in what will win."


No it is not the Onion.

It's painfully obvious. He has no ability to appear normal and connect with voters, so she steps in and provides that modicum of normalcy. So he's probably not wrong. He sure isn't the greatest asset

Remember when he was touted as 'the smart GOP alternative'? Maybe he tests well in academia, but smart he is not.
