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.
