I get the feeling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wakes up every morning asking himself "What can I do today to make the opposition act crazy and look stupid." It isn't much of an exaggeration to say DeSantis brings a sense of entrepreneurship to politics. I like it.
Nine days ago I wrote of Ron DeSantis the following admiring evaluation:
DeSantis isn't just reactive; in the culture wars he appears to be on offense.
Today comes a Politico article which grudgingly admires his involvement in school board elections across the state. He has been endorsing candidates whose policies he admires, and sending each a $1000 campaign donation.
The money seems less important than the endorsement. Those endorsed have been using that fact in their ads and appearances as a fast way to signal the similarity of their values to those of DeSantis, and it is working.
