Absolutely batshit rhetoric, this guy better lose hard………..
At the very least, that is certainly the case right now. All the polls of conservatives consistently show Trump smoking Desantis.
I do wonder if Desantis' insanity will ever meaningfully affect his electoral chances in Florida or if the boomers there are too far gone to care about the state around them (and their ongoing dwindling Social Security and Medicare thanks to Republicans).
He's using a pretty standard tactic for a right wing politician down in the polls: throw increasing amounts of crazy against the wall until something sticks and the polls improve.
His consultants will call this "calibrating", to find the right level of insane to match voter expectations and grab media attention for a few cycles along the way.
That's a whole different kind of problem and I hate it
