Ron DeSantis can 勝利，勝つ on Wednesday if he soaks up the attacks sure to come his way and then remind テレビ視聴者s of his 記録，記録的な／記録する in Florida where he won a 地滑り reelection last year, によれば one of his 最高の，を越す 寄贈者s.

'知事 DeSantis is 明確に behind,' said Dan Eberhart.?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a chance to reignite his （選挙などの）運動をする at Wednesday's 審議 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Just one problem: Seven other 候補者s will want to take him 負かす／撃墜する

Eight 共和国の／共和党の 大統領の 候補者s will take the 行う／開催する／段階 on Wednesday night: 最高の，を越す 列／漕ぐ／騒動 from left, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy, 底（に届く） 列／漕ぐ／騒動 from left, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former 副大統領 マイク Pence, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and 知事 Asa Hutchinson.

The former 大統領，／社長 is not taking part, leaving his 競争相手s to 戦う／戦い it out for second place.

For the eight on 行う／開催する／段階 it brings a prime-time television slot and their first chance to introduce themselves to the nation.

And for DeSantis, beset by 消極的な headlines about 投票ing numbers, his dwindling cash reserves, and almost 週刊誌 （選挙などの）運動をする resets, it might be his best chance to reignite his run.

His 助言者s are prepping for a 'dog-pile on Ron,' によれば a 覚え書き sent to 寄贈者s. They know 競争相手s see the night as their 適切な時期 to 追いつく the 候補者 who is placed second in the 投票s.

Some like former New Jersey Chris Christie and rising 星／主役にする Vivek Ramaswamy have? previewed their attacks on a 候補者 they see as Trump-lite or as yet another career 政治家，政治屋.

DeSantis has taken on one of the 最高の，を越す 審議 coaches to 準備する himself.?Brett O'Donnell ― who has prepped 候補者s going 支援する to Sen. John McCain in 2008?― has been 主要な practise 開会／開廷／会期s and developing counterpunches for the 推定する／予想するd 猛攻撃.

Eberhart said the attacks will 固く結び付ける DeSantis in テレビ視聴者s' minds as the natural 挑戦者 to Trump.

'I think the attacks will show who everybody's afraid of,' he said. 'Everybody,? has to go through Ron DeSantis and get to second place and then be able to take on Trump.'?

投票ing for DailyMail.com shows how the DeSantis （選挙などの）運動をする has 滞るd. In the 決定的な 明言する／公表する of Iowa, where 共和国の／共和党のs will be first to 選ぶ their preferred 候補者 in the new year, his support has dropped by nine points?― from 26 points in April to 17 points in August.

And にもかかわらず 存在 起訴するd in four 犯罪の 事例／患者s, Trump's lead has 増加するd to 26 points.

Tim Scott, an African-American 上院議員 who tells a simple, 肯定的な rags-to-riches story that he says 反駁するs （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that America is structurally 人種差別主義者, has been the main 受益者.

DeSantis has yet to find a 類似の story that can 部隊 Americans or even 共和国の／共和党のs, say his critics.?

They wonder why he has not leant more into the factors that helped him to a 地滑り reelection as Florida 知事 last year: His 速度(を上げる） at 再開するing Florida during the pandemic, bipartisan 対策 such as Everglades 復古／返還, and keeping 保守的なs happy with 任命s to the 明言する／公表する 最高の 法廷，裁判所.

共和国の／共和党の 寄贈者 Eric Levine wants to see a 候補者 現れる from the 審議 ready to take 負かす／撃墜する Trump. And that is not likely to be DeSantis, he 追加するd, if he continues his 戦術の missteps.

Sen. Tim Scott has 選ぶd up support from DeSantis in 投票s. 分析家s say he has a （疑いを）晴らす, 肯定的な story which is 控訴，上告ing to 投票者s

62 パーセント of likely GOP 最初の／主要な 投票者s planned to 支援する Trump versus 16 パーセント who are supporting DeSantis.?All the other 希望に満ちたs remained in 選び出す／独身 digits - with Vivek Ramaswamy at 7 パーセント, ex-副大統領 マイク Pence at 5 パーセント and Sen. Tim Scott at 3 パーセント

'His （選挙などの）運動をする is in a 穴を開ける 権利 now,' he said,

'He had the 適切な時期 to speak to a 幅の広い 禁止（する）d of 共和国の／共和党の 最初の／主要な 投票者s, and he seems to have chosen just to 焦点（を合わせる） in on these culture wars and speaks about them in some of the most extreme ways.

'He needs to 拡大する the 問題／発行するs that he 会談 about. I'm not sure he can do that now.'

Last month, his （選挙などの）運動をする 促進するd a ビデオ attacking Trump for 存在 too 自由主義の on LGBTQ+ 問題／発行するs. The 広告 portrayed?DeSantis as the 解答 using images of villainous characters from the TV series Peaky Blinders and the movie American Pyscho.

It backfired 不正に.

Soon after, a third of his （選挙などの）運動をする staff was 解雇する／砲火／射撃d. Two weeks ago DeSantis 取って代わるd his 選挙事務長 まっただ中に 報告（する）／憶測s of a cash crunch.

Since then the 消極的な headlines have slowed. And 投票s have shown that 投票者s in Iowa, for example, are willing to ignore the 批評 for now as something dreamed up by the 設立 マスコミ.

That leaves DeSantis with a choice. Stick to his 早期に 約束 of （選挙などの）運動をするing as Trump without the baggage, or 受託する that there is only room for one MAGA 候補者 in the race.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former 副大統領 マイク Pence are 占領するing? 伝統的な 保守的な 領土, 焦点（を合わせる）ing on small 政府 and muscular 外交政策

The ultimate 目的（とする）, said 共和国の／共和党の strategist John Feehery, is to 現在の himself as a step up from Trump.

'DeSantis had to do two contradictory things: Look 十分に 大統領の while also showing that he is an 部外者 who can bring necessary 改革（する） to corrupt system,'he said.?

'He has to show that he is an 改良 on Trump while not 疎遠にするing the Trump 投票者.'

That is a tall order, によれば?Larry Jacobs, director of the 中心 for the 熟考する／考慮する of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota

Even if DeSantis could find the 問題／発行するs that resonate with 投票者s he would struggle to match the 核心 控訴，上告 of Trump, he said.

'I think the 関係 that Trump has is as much about his style, about his 人民党員 拒絶 of the status quo, the fury and 憤慨 that he brings to his 立候補,' said Jacobs.

'And so I think if you 肉親，親類d of a 候補者 who was perfect on the 投票ing, more perfect than Trump, I'm not sure how much traction they would get.'

For Levine, it all means that DeSantis has one last chance on the 審議 行う／開催する／段階 Wednesday to start 伸び（る）ing traction.?

'If he doesn't stand out, if he doesn't pull away from the field after this 審議, his （選挙などの）運動をする may be over,' he said.
