“We’re going to start slitting throats on Day 1.”
Is Shade the Only Language Ron DeSantis Speeks?

People debate the DeSantis campaign doing a reset. Can they? What would have to happen for People debate the DeSantis campaign doing a reset. Can they? What would have to happen for DeSantis to propel his campaign a different direction?
It seems that DeSantis has carved out a path that is right down the middle of Donald Trump’s Lane. Most of the same harsh talk that we here from his is pretty much parallel to that of Trump. It’s hard to view him on the issues as anything but Trump Lite
Comments like Slitting Throats on day one to describe his approach to trimming bureaucratic government is a part of his established harsh tone. It’s hard to see him out Trumping Trump. That said, in many respects DeSantis is yet scarier than Trump. Mostly because he has forgotten more about government than Trump ever knew. On the evil scare, they are neck and neck.
The problem with restarting the governor’s campaign is that it is more likely the message that is the problem. His tone, the things that he is against are all pretty much seen as a war on the Social Consciousness of America. His running against Mickey Mouse and Woke quite frankly ignore the real issues that most Americans care about.
