The results of the Republican debate are always interesting to watch. There are always analyses, predictions, and insults hurled at one another. But, one thing that caught my attention was the lack of interest in targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is currently second in line for the GOP's primary, and nobody wanted to hit him.
It's odd that no one wanted to confront Ron DeSantis, who was the "top dawg" on the stage. Usually, after polling higher than everybody else, you would think that people would want to confront you. However, according to Morse, it could be because DeSantis is a proven winner in Florida, and he can easily ask the other candidates where their examples are hiding.
According to Morse, some of the candidates, such as Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy, may have avoided facing Congressman Ron DeSantis due to their lack of experience and their concerns about being labeled as a Democrat. This lack of aggression against DeSantis could cause voters to question the other candidates' lack of strategy and their fears of the Congressman.
According to Morse, an individual will eventually have to start attacking DeSantis in order to appear strong, as he has more to gain by not being attacked than lose by being attacked. He believes that if the trend continues, voters will start questioning the lack of aggression exhibited by the Republicans.
According to Morse, there will be a debate where DeSantis will have to face off with his opponents, and it's interesting to see how the other candidates will approach it. He believes that the other candidates will try to make DeSantis' record in Florida's success go unnoticed.
