Now that Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump, I have a message for all my fellow Ron DeSantis supporters about how to move forward after a bruising primary campaign where we came up short.
Get over it.
Losing sucks. But there’s a maxim among trial lawyers that applies equally to people involved in politics over the long haul, and that’s if you’ve never lost a case, you never try cases. I am immensely proud to have supported Ron DeSantis. We gave it our best shot. We had a great candidate who has a great future, and we gave as good as we got. But we got it hard. That’s because it was a primary. You are supposed to get hit hard. Politics ain’t beanbag. Politics is tough, and people are in it to win it. But now the primaries are done. Our guy has endorsed Donald Trump. Time to rub some dirt on our wounds, getback in the game, and bring home the big win for America.
Yes, I know there were some stupid people out there who said some stupid things. Stop caring about what stupid people say. In the long run, this will make you much happier. Every campaign has some dingbats. Every campaign has some weirdos. Dingbats and weirdos say stupid and ugly things. But there’s a secret weapon that defeats them. It’s called “indifference.” I don’t care what @FatMAGADeadbeatDad69 or any other human cartoon character says. I don’t care if they tweet about my mother or my dogs or tell me that my books are terrible. My mom wouldn’t care, nor do my dogs, and my books are awesome and best sellers. Insults and lame memes don’t matter to me. Don’t let them matter to you. And certainly don’t let them keep you from doing what you need to do.
And what you need to do is get on board and fight for the guy who won fair and square. Yeah, fair and square. In primaries, you go out, you make your case, and part of that means cutting down the other guy. If you can’t get your head around that reality, you probably shouldn’t be involved in politics. This is a tough game. It’s not for the faint of heart. Donald Trump doesn’t take it personally. As soon as Chris Christie dropped out to take on his new role as spokesman for Golden Corral, Trump was saying nice things about him.
