    I think his critical mistake was trying to out-Trump Trump. He will never be a better Trump than Trump. He had a chance to be a more moderate and “acceptable” version of Trump. But he went way too far to the right where even other Republicans are criticizing some of the Florida laws. Like for example banning AP Psychology or putting PragerU videos in the official curriculum.

      Somehow I’m more surprised that he’s getting Republican pushback from including PragerU videos in the Florida public education ciriculum than I am that he included PragerU videos in the Florida public education ciriculum.
