two-page memo, which was obtained by the New York Times, suggests four possible “orchestra pit” moments for DeSantis to consider, including going after Vivek Ramaswamy, who has quickly usurped his #2 spot in several polls, defending ex-president Donald Trump after his latest indictment out of Georgia, and attacking Joe Biden and the media.We have no idea how much the DeSantis campaign paid these outside advisors for their expertise, but you know things are bad–really bad–when the best thing they can tell you is to “show emotion” so you come across as a likeable human being, or at the very least, someone who is not completely off-putting.what the fuck is wrong with him pic.twitter.com/93Vi1A5ZR4The recommendation comes after months of DeSantis making one embarrassing gaffe after another and behaving really, really strangely around voters on the campaign trail, as well as numerous reports from former colleagues who’ve said he’s socially awkward and unfriendly.“I think he’s an a**hole,” former Republican Rep.
