Donald Trump campaign completes Ron DeSantis 'kiss of death … – Florida Politics
As Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to campaign throughout the Granite State, his main opponent is telling him the campaign is over.
The Donald Trump campaign wrapped up its “Kiss of Death” countdown for DeSantis’ 2024 campaign, but says they aren’t done dragging the Florida Governor anytime soon.
“The daily hits on DeSanctus will continue because we won’t ever stop. The ‘end’ will be an everlasting experience DeSanctus will have to endure until he gets it through his thick skull that he has no shot to be the nominee, let alone the president,” the Trump camp contended, before going on to issue an implausible call for the Florida Governor to visit his archenemies at Walt Disney World.
“The only way we’ll stop is when DeSanctus returns to the Epcot Center, where all his issues began, and starts singing ‘It’s a Small World After All’ while taking the Drinking Around the World Tour, because that’s the closest he’ll ever become to being a world leader,” the Trump camp snarks. “Until then, can’t stop, won’t stop.”
As has been the case for the 60 days preceding this in the email campaign, Trump World paints a vulgar picture of the DeSantis campaign. They claim it has “cratered in the polls, lost their donors propping up their bloated operation, and let their candidate clown himself every single day on the campaign trail. Along the way, they’ve fired half their staff, and shipped their remaining people to Iowa (some have refused to go like Christina (Pushaw)).”
Trump himself continues to dismiss DeSantis’ efforts, contending the Governor could finish as low as third or fourth place in New Hampshire. That read aligns with the Race to the White House polling average, which shows the Governor firmly in third, behind Trump (46%) and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (15%).
DeSantis continues to dismiss polls, meanwhile.
“If you look at how this race has gone, you know, you’ve had Trump, you’ve had me, then someone will get up and then they’ll go down, someone will go up and they’ll go down. So I think that’s just kind of the cycle about how that happens,” he said Tuesday in New Hampshire.
The DeSantis War Room continues to troll Trump as well, depicting him as gaffe-prone. That’s a read DeSantis himself echoes, as he continues to claim Trump relies on a teleprompter because he can’t ad lib any more.

I don’t know which I’d like to see more of: more mocking or more venom.

“No university presidency for you,” self-righteously responded Dee.
