Maria Bartiromo of Fox News asked Ron DeSantis about his campaign failing to meet expectations. “The media does not want me to be the nominee,” he answered.
While he may speak the truth, he does so to hide a truth.
Does Ron DeSantis want to be the nominee? From the disastrous online launch met with technical difficulties to the ill-advised ad attacking Donald Trump for basically expressing a live-and-let-live attitude toward homosexuals, Florida’s governor does not so much run as he stumbles for president.
The good news? Bill Clinton, John McCain, Joe Biden, and others struggled early before winning the presidential nomination of their parties.
Internally, DeSantis needs to look into the mirror regarding his problems rather than use it as a shiny object to distract as he does with the media.
