DeSantis primary strategy...

[Ike Bana]

On NPR yesterday an analysis found DeSantis, in fear of annoying the 25% of hardcore MAGA republicans, staying away from any negative comments about Donald. Preferring to stick with "issue related" statements. Reckon how long this will last as we have already witnessed the following...

TREMENDOUS CONTENT UPDATED MAR. 22, 2023
Donald Trump’s Nasty Ron DeSantis Nicknames, Ranked

1. "Meatball Ron" (so far off the record, casual conversations only)
2. "Tiny D" (Trump toxic masculinity disorder)
3. " Ron DeEstablishment"
4. "Shutdown Ron" (never enough Covid death for Donald)
5. "Ron Disonest" (Latest in the Lyin Ted, Lyin Hillary, Lyin Comey line)
6. "DeSoros" ???
7. "Ron DeSanctimonious"
8. "Ron DeSanctus" (Meaningless but easer to remember than Sanctimonious)

Well...Cruz never went back at Trump over his "your ugly wife" comment either...so maybe DeSantis is "Tiny D" after all...it appears to run in the party.

DeSantis is working from the 25-25-50 strategy of Republican primaries. 25% of Republican voters are hardcore MAGA, 25% hardcore anti-MAGA, 50% undecided (but will never vote for any Democrat). He figures he can win the alleged "independent" Repubican voters and he already has the "never Trumpers."

It's a leap.
