Some backstabber from Ron's campaign is leaking drama to the NY Post

Ron and Casey DeSantis had to approve tweets, fundraising emails, creating ‘bottlenecks’ during doomed campaign: report
quote:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey, are accused of being meticulous micromanagers who refused to allow staffers to send out campaign emails or tweets without their approval throughout his 2024 presidential race, former workers charged in a new report.
The level of control the DeSantises exerted on staffers, most of whom had no experience working on national political campaigns, created “bottlenecks” and led to repetitive social media posts and fundraising emails being sent out, multiple former DeSantis campaign aides told the Daily Caller.
“There’s nothing anywhere in the organization, DeSantis or his wife don’t have their fingers on,” a former campaign official told the outlet.
“That includes a tweet, everything.”
Another former aide said that “DeSantis had to approve every single fundraising email.”
The Florida governor’s insistence on personally reviewing all communications rather than delegating the chore out created a “bottleneck,” with sometimes as many as three days going by before submitted work was approved for release by either the governor or his wife, according to former campaign officials.
“They only had what looked like 1-3 form emails going out because DeSantis has to review every single fundraising email before it goes out,” a former staffer said. “So on top of a failed launch on Twitter Spaces, they ran with the same messaging for days because of the bottleneck.”
Another former aide recalled that it “would sometimes take two or three days to get a tweet approved for the people on the digital campaign because it had to go through these extremely arduous bureaucratic structures of approval.
“Both the governor and the first lady had to look at different tweets before they went live,” they added.
DeSantis ended his White House bid earlier this month after a tumultuous eight months on the campaign trail.
Coming off a landslide gubernatorial re-election victory in 2022, DeSantis, 45, was widely seen as the likeliest Republican to beat former President Donald Trump, 77, in the GOP primary.
However, his support peaked in national polls months before the launch of his presidential campaign, during a glitch-filled Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk this past May.
The DeSantis campaign underwent multiple messaging “resets” and laid off a significant number of staffers just two months into the doomed campaign.
Last November, a near-brawl reportedly broke out when tempers flared during a super PAC strategy meeting aimed at countering former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s then-surging campaign.
The DeSantis-aligned Never Back Down super PAC saw several leaders and strategists resign in the weeks after the fiery meeting.

I honestly don't see a problem with most of that.

This seems like the opposite of what happened.
The tweets seemed like shotgun, off the cuff, type that often bit him in the arse.
I would have assumed that he didn’t oversee it enough.
If his messaging was his own, then he earned his loss.

He rides with MAGA now. All is forgiven.

I think it says a lot about our system and our electorate that Ron the policy and execution guy was overshadowed by Ron the naive and stiff campaigner.

Desantises sound like nasty people.
Posted on 2/1/24 at 9:56 pm to stout
And unlike Trump, he will learn from his mistakes.

Well they did a fckg terrible job screening bc a huge reason he lost MAGA support was due to all the cringe shite coming from their campaign and the Ronbots.

In the end didn't it come out that they were conflicted and didn't want to attack Nikki? Nikki was the backop sent in and they were probably told not to attack her.
Casey knocked on what was it one million doors in Iowa? 156 million wasted attacking Trump. And now they funneled PAC money to attack Trump some more.
They are working on team Democrat, attacking not Biden but Trump. The GOP is currently working with Biden to blackmail our national security at the border to get their Ukraine slush funds hush moneis back.
Anyone still throwing tantrums about Meatball and saying they will stay at home, are no loss. They are noise causing divide that is already there.
They tried every trick. Even tried saying THEY were conservative forcing federal mandated not past 6 weeks- abortion for the purposeful loss.

It's understandable that DeSantis wouldn't want anything tweeted that someone trustworthy hadn't put eyes on.

They lost. Get on with your life. You have an election coming and will have more to be upset and bitch about until 2028.
