Why is Ron DeSantis slipping in the polls?

Agreed it's sad to watch. So what's the solution?
Part of the problem is the fearmongering and divisiveness. Yesterday I mentioned an old psych experiment about rats in a two-level cage; there was enough food and space for all but the dominant few took over the top level, having excess space, food and water, leaving the lower level overcrowded and short of food and water. What did the lower level rats do? They fought each other.
Conclusion? Rats aren't big on unity. LOL
She's never apologized nor accepted any responsibility. She's a victim with a victim-mentality. She'll never take responsibility for herself.
Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your party's nomination The more you're slip slidin' away
[FONT=&]At this stage in the 2024 GOP presidential primary cycle, the fact that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) hasn't officially declared his candidacy for his party's nomination feels more like an administrative afterthought than a sign of genuine electoral reluctance.
With his reputation bolstered by a rare good showing during an otherwise disappointing GOP midterm election, DeSantis has spent the early part of 2023 crisscrossing the country with conspicuous stops in presidential primary hubs like Iowa and New Hampshire, hawking his "make America Florida" memoir, and weighing in on matters ostensibly outside the scope of someone content to stay in state government for long.

A 'very bad week' for DeSantis supporters

[FONT=&]DeSantis' slippage comes amidst a particularly rocky stretch of headlines for the governor. He downgraded Ukraine's defense against an ongoing Russian invasion as not part of the "vital national interest" for the United States — a foray into international politics which earned him the surprisingly caustic ire of many of his fellow Republicans.
This foreign policy squabble was overtaken by rising questions over DeSantis' personal touch on the campaign trail, and his capacity for retail politics. That was followed by the most open warfare to date between DeSantis and Trump, whose allies blasted the governor as a "weasel" for raising Trump's alleged hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels in a backhanded attempt to denounce the possibility of criminal indictments.
"It's the trend that's important, and the trend is unequivocal: Every single one of these polls has shown Mr. DeSantis faring worse than before, and Mr. Trump faring better," The New York Times'Nate Cohn concluded, while cautioning against trusting a single poll for electoral forecasting.

Yes, you Nazis fear DeSantis and defame him at every opportunity.
Yawn,
When do you plan to start doing something about all of these LW Nazis you hate so much, Underscore?
Do you plan to smack any around like at home? Teach'em a lesson? LOL
How many stitches in a "lesson"?
I wish I had a solution. Not only is it hard to change a person's self destructive behavior, but these people are known for their violence against anyone who even discusses trying to convince them to change. They actually want to make discussing changes illegal.
I really do not like the "let nature take its course solution." Basically, that says we just try to minimize the damage that the alt right does until they naturally kill themselves. And make no mistake about it, they are killing themselves.
If someone could come up with a better solution, I would be very glad to hear it.
There is some unity, just not good unity. Rats are one of the few creatures that will come together to fight wars against other rats.
And they call everyone else snowflakes.
They project a lot. Notice how Trump is always accusing others of doing the things he did?
trump released a picture of him threatening the DA with a baseball bat... It was fake, obviously, but what sort of weirdo does something like that.

But who is increasing? Trump
You are a snowflake, Walter.
I have been meaning to speak with you about your self-discipline issue.
Looks like you need it Walter, calling people ugly names is juvenile, Walter.
Work on that self-control issue, Walter.
Poor Walter.

Why is Ron DeSantis slipping in the polls?
Because he suks ballz.
Because he suks ballz.
Not literally, but there is an air of desperation about DeSantis, where he would say and do anything to get ahead.

Are you sure about that?
I believe that DeSantis does not literally have homosexual sex, but I am not absolutely sure of that. He has a long documented history of targeting borderline underage girls. If he were trying to cover for being a homosexual, then he would have gone for more age appropriate women.
It would be great if the leading attacker of homosexual rights was in fact a homosexual himself, but not everything that would be great is true.

I believe he did, I think Schwab buttfucked him.
Schwab is a Republican, who has given a huge amount of money to Republicans, and opposing Democrats. He has a long history of donating huge amounts of money to oppose Democrats.
But I do not believe Schwab is gay.
Also he says he has stopped all political donations. I do not know if I believe him, but if that is true, there would be no reason for DeSantis to submit to Schwab.
