Over the weekend Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may have sealed his political fate with one recklessly dumb comment. Failing to follow the cardinal rule that a Trump opponent can say a lot of things but must not ever insult Trump supporters, DeSantis told The Florida Standard:
The movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the American people and that's got to be based in principle, because if you're not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that's just supposed to follow … whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that's not going to be a durable movement.
