DeSantis to go Nuclear
Franchesca Bosco
Jeff Roe, a GOP political consultant, admitted in 2015 that he was the man behind an ad that allegedly drove Tom Schweich, a frontrunner in Missouri state’s GOP primary, to kill himself.
Jeff Roe used to work for Ted Cruz & Glenn Youngkin. DeSantis just hired him.
This is why President Trump called Roe the "kiss of death."

As I live in Missouri I remember that affair. Schweich was a RINO who suffered from Crohne's disease. His suicide was over a number of things.
John Danforth presided at the funeral and he launched into a blistering attack on conservatives based on this whole Roe business. He propagated the claim that it was the ad that killed Schweich more than anyone. But I think it was a lot of different things.
Certainly Schweich was very depressed about his Crohns leading up to his suicide. He was on endless rounds of medication and truly suffered from the illness. I would add the ads that went after Schweich were quite tame compared to some of the stuff out there these days - particularly from the Democrats. Politics IS a blood sport! Schweich was a decent man, and didn't deserve it, but it's the nature of the game.
That said, I would say it shows DeSantis is going to go at Trump HARD!.

It's about time he did. Time for him to show he knows full well that politics is a full-contact sport! Of course, perhaps the reason he hasn't done so up to now is that he hasn't announced his candidacy. Maybe by the time this comment hits the airwaves, he will have.

I have no doubt he will after he announces. He'll really have no choice; Trump will come down on him like the hammer of Thor.
It's going to be a bloody, bloody primary.
