Word came today that the stupid super PAC supporting Ron DeSantis, "Never Back Down," has, OMG, backed down. Or retreated. It's canceling its paid door-knocking efforts in the Super Tuesday states of Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and California. One can only assume that Rhonda will instead pour all of his dwindling efforts into Iowa and South Carolina. Not sure if it'll work out for him.
All this comes on the heels of restive rumors in DeSantis Funding World. Dude has had probably the worst rollout of any Presidential campaign, ever. And he hasn't managed to recover since. Reports of Team DeSantis begging major donors for $50 million before the first GOP debate in Milwaukee makes you wonder how the moneybags are feeling now. Rhonda didn't exactly shine on that stage.
Do these big contributors just not vet their candidates? Clearly they were seduced by tales of DeSantis's electoral prowess in Florida and how the Sunshine State is a logical springboard to national prominence. But did anyone dig around and realize that Rhonda is a shallow, untested, prickly, awkward, unintelligent, bot-like candidate? Or were they blinded by his 20-point margin in his 2022 re-election campaign?
Whatever — they've certainly wasted their money. We cats PURR.
