REISER So Matthew Dowd ░░░░░░░░ have been questions early ░░░░░░░░ the process about DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ politics Can he begin ░░░░░░░░ sort of put some ░░░░░░░░ those problems behind him ░░░░░░░░ in New Hampshire or ░░░░░░░░ you think he is ░░░░░░░░ testing things out on ░░░░░░░░ road DOWD Well it ░░░░░░░░ fascinating about Ron DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ s had quite a ░░░░░░░░ in Florida obviously and ░░░░░░░░ overwhelmingly last year in ░░░░░░░░ re election Can t ░░░░░░░░ to do anything when ░░░░░░░░ goes out At some ░░░░░░░░ a politician that has ░░░░░░░░ statewide the first time ░░░░░░░░ time third time fourth ░░░░░░░░ outside their state if ░░░░░░░░ are not doing well ░░░░░░░░ don t know if ░░░░░░░░ fifth or sixth or ░░░░░░░░ time helps them in ░░░░░░░░ process The biggest problem ░░░░░░░░ has is Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ as if he is ░░░░░░░░ incumbent in this race ░░░░░░░░ years ago when Donald ░░░░░░░░ first ran Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ at 14 or 15 ░░░░░░░░ in the polls Today ░░░░░░░░ is at 50 or ░░░░░░░░ percent in the polls ░░░░░░░░ is in a much ░░░░░░░░ dominant position Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ he was in 2015 ░░░░░░░░ 2016 when he still ░░░░░░░░ the nomination in this ░░░░░░░░ The problem for Ron ░░░░░░░░ I think and anybody ░░░░░░░░ running in this race ░░░░░░░░ s really not about ░░░░░░░░ but will some external ░░░░░░░░ happen something some legal ░░░░░░░░ or something else happen ░░░░░░░░ gives them a window ░░░░░░░░ they can actually succeed ░░░░░░░░ without it I don ░░░░░░░░ see how they do.”
