Sure, but at this point he’s in an endless tailspin. Could also just stop talking about him at this point altogether, probably. Whatever supporters there are, he’ll never be able to dig himself out to face down Trump now.
Oh, he’s dead in the water this cycle for sure. But in 4 or 8 years he’ll still be around while trump will be gone and any damage done now will linger. Dukakis was sunk because he looked kind of silly riding a tank. Howard Dean’s warcry turned out to be more of a screech. This completely wrecked their national election chances.
I will agree that it’s better to go after people like DeSantis based on policy, but I’ll take destroying their public perception too.
Yeah the Dean Scream is a perfect example of the media and public perception destroying a campaign. He was a solid candidate and one weekend of incessant coverage over that scream was all it took.

Won’t catch me standing in the way - it’s pretty entertaining, anyway.
