Shadow Primary
Ron Desantis went out late last month to answer the Biddor of Donalds for the Governor, which he was a creature in Washington, not Florida, and did not give Washington victories.
“The reality we reached the victories in Florida,” he said a late news conference in February news. “I think people look at it and say that there is a boy like byron, he’s not just a part of any wins we’ve had in the rest of the years.”
