Their strategy includes\u200b defending former\u2064 President Donald\u200d Trump &#8220;in absentia,&#8221; attacking fellow candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and sharing an emotional anecdote about DeSantis&#8217;s wife and children.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Primary Goals for DeSantis in\u200c the RNC Debate:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Attack \u2063Joe Biden and\u2062 the media 3-5 times.<\/li>\n<li>State DeSantis&#8217;s positive vision 2-3 times.<\/li>\n<li>Hammer \u200dVivek Ramaswamy in a \u200dresponse.<\/li>\n<li>Defend Donald \u2063Trump in absentia in response to\u200d a Chris Christie attack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis, referred \u200bto as \u200b&#8221;GRD&#8221; in\u200d the document, aims to make a strong impact\u200b during the debate. The memo, which was obtained and reported on\u2064 by\u2063 the New York Times, suggests that DeSantis should &#8220;take a \u200bsledge-hammer to Vivek Ramaswamy&#8221; and even gave him potential nicknames like\u200d &#8220;Fake\u200c Vivek&#8221; or &#8220;Vivek the Fake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy responded to the report \u2064on \u200cX, stating,\u2064 &#8220;Another boring, establishment attack from Super PAC-creation &#8216;Robot Ron&#8217; who is literally taking \u2064lame,\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-debate-playbook-defend-trump-attack-ramaswamy-and-show-emotion\/\" title=\"DeSantis strategy: Support Trump, target Ramaswamy, and display passion.\">pre-programmed attack lines<\/a>\u2063 against me for \u2062next week\u2019s debate. &#8216;Hammer Ramaswamy.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/from-impeaching-incitement-to-canceling-conservatism\/\" title=\"From Impeaching Incitement to Canceling Conservatism\">deputy communications director<\/a>, Stefan Mychajliw, also chimed in, expressing his support for his boss&#8217;s nickname for DeSantis. He compared DeSantis to &#8220;Jeb Junior,&#8221; referencing former \u2064Florida \u2062Gov. Jeb Bush&#8217;s unsuccessful 2016 presidential bid.<\/p>\n<p>One \u200cof the\u200b key\u2062 instructions in the memo is for DeSantis\u200d to &#8220;invoke a personal anecdote story about family,\u2063 kids, Casey, showing emotion.&#8221; The campaign \u2063has been\u200c highlighting DeSantis&#8217;s young family on the trail, emphasizing the impact of fatherhood \u200don his policy prescriptions, particularly\u2063 in education. This approach positions \u2062DeSantis \u2062as the &#8220;parent&#8217;s\u2063 candidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As candidates gear\u2063 up for the debate, the\u200c leaked memo\u200d has \u2063caused a stir. Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-leads-pack-in-support-from-gop-county-leaders-for-2024-gop-nomination\/\" title=\"Trump is the top choice among GOP county leaders for the 2024 GOP nomination.\">participation remains uncertain<\/a>, but DeSantis expects to be the primary target for other candidates, \u2064regardless of Trump&#8217;s presence. Strategists have predicted this, suggesting that most\u200c candidates \u2064are \u2062afraid \u200bto attack Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Campaign spokesman Andrew Romeo stated, &#8220;Every candidate on and off \u200dthe debate \u2062stage will have their knives out for Ron DeSantis because they know this is a two-man race. If DeSantis wasn&#8217;t the best candidate to beat Joe Biden, Donald Trump wouldn&#8217;t have spent over $20 million attacking\u200d him. See you in Milwaukee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Never\u2062 Back \u2063Down, the super PAC, shared a video on social media \u2063accusing \u2063Trump of\u200d being &#8220;too weak\u2062 to \u200bdebate,&#8221; referencing \u200chis indecision on \u2064the subject. However, Trump&#8217;s campaign has \u200dmaintained that his attendance at the event is unlikely.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more\u2062 from the \u2063Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>support for traditional family values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2003697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2003696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2003696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2003696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2003696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2003697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2003696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2003696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2003696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
