Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is \u200cset to shake \u200dthings\u200c up with an unconventional strategy that might catch the audience off guard.<\/p>\n<p>A strategist for a super PAC \u200cunofficially \u200caffiliated \u200cwith DeSantis&#8217; campaign \u200dhas shared some intriguing\u2063 documents. According \u200bto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/08\/17\/us\/politics\/desantis-debate-strategy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New\u2063 York Times<\/a>, Jeff Roe, the chief strategist for the Never\u200c Back Down PAC, has urged\u2062 DeSantis to defend\u2064 his chief\u2064 rival for the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, \u2062Roe shared strategy memos on the website of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">consulting company<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/axiomstrategies.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axiom Strategies<\/a>, advocating for this\u2064 atypical debate\u200c strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The memos \u2062specifically advise DeSantis to criticize businessman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/voter-confronts-ramaswamy-faith-town-hall-not-running-pastor-chief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a>, \u2062who is currently in third place but \u2064rising\u200d in the polls. Ramaswamy, who has donated to Democratic candidates, is to be portrayed as \u200ban &#8220;inauthentic conservative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u2062the consultant \u200dsuggests that DeSantis \u2063openly defend former President \u2064Donald Trump in response to potential attacks from former New Jersey Gov. Chris\u200d Christie, who has positioned himself as the\u200c most outspoken anti-Trump\u200c candidate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;There \u2064are four basic must-dos,&#8221; \u200dthe memo advises DeSantis, using the name &#8220;GRD&#8221; for the \u200dcandidate to\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/battle-for-second-desantis-urged-to-defend-trump-hammer-ramaswamy-in-debate-report\/\" title=\"DeSantis urged to defend Trump and 'hammer' Ramaswamy in debate.\">potentially avoid legal issues related<\/a> \u2062to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-durham-probe-spent-1-5m-gowdy-trump-wonder-for-what\/\" title=\"DOJ: Durham Probe Spent .5M; Gowdy, Trump Wonder for What?\">campaign coordination<\/a> \u200bwith super PACs.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Attack Joe Biden and the media 3-5 times.<\/li>\n<li>State GRD&#8217;s <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.\">positive vision 2-3 times<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a\u2064 response.<\/li>\n<li>Defend Donald Trump in absentia\u200d in response to a Chris Christie attack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The documents were initially available\u200c on the Axiom website but \u2062were later \u200bremoved \u2064after \u2064inquiries \u200cwere made by The New York Times. Neither the super PAC nor the DeSantis campaign has responded\u2062 to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>While this advice may seem unusual to some, it \u200bis not without\u2062 precedent \u200din the Republican primary. In the 2016 GOP primary race, Chris\u2063 Christie aggressively targeted Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, seeking\u2064 his voters rather than those of the front-runner, Trump.<\/p>\n<p>However, some conservatives, including \u200dTrump critic Ann Coulter, have dismissed this campaign advice as political hogwash.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">More of the worst\u200c campaign advice I&#8217;ve ever seen:<\/p>\n<p><<4.

The memo\u2062 also\u200c highlights Ramaswamy&#8217;s defense of the\u200c Hindu caste system \u2063practiced \u200din India, which is \u200bseen as conflicting with American principles of equality and meritocracy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200d is worth noting that Trump has \u200dindicated he \u2062will\u2064 not be attending any GOP\u200b debates, \u2062while both DeSantis and Ramaswamy\u2063 are expected to be present.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/battle-second-desantis-urged-defend-trump-hammer-ramaswamy-debate-report\/\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
