Ron DeSantis’ Book Tour Looks Like ‘Amateur Hour’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ book tour has hit a few road bumps. In the first staffing shakeup for what’s widely seen as a pre-presidential campaign, the DeSantis road show lost a critical wheel this week when the operation’s top event coordinator pulled out of its contract, sources familiar with the move told The Daily Beast. It’s the latest in a series of setbacks for DeSantis , as his platoon of supporters and outside financial backers pushes out a “soft-launch” campaign in the shadow of the party’s frontrunner, former President Donald Trump . But Republican observers say that from what they’ve seen, the operation appears to be “out over its skis.” “This is amateur hour,” a seasoned GOP presidential campaign strategist told The Daily Beast.

How To Choose Your First Sports Car
We baby boomers often find ourselves wanting that very first true sports car. The kids are gone, we are financially secure, so why not indulge in that special car we always wanted but wasn't practical. The bug bit me when I saw the new 2014 Corvette for the first time, then had to have the Z06 when it came out two years later. How To Choose Your First Sports Car To make your selection, a few basics need to be determined. Set Your Budget First and foremost, set your budget. Figure out the upper most amount you want to spend, and that will make narrowing the list much easier. If you are going to get something brand new, a large auto show is worth going to even if it is a good way away, it will save you time overall. Coupe vs Convertible Next decision is whether a convertible is right for you.
