As Venus aligns with Mars in the microcosm of space, so, are they aligned in the Ron DeSantis political future. But as we are learning more and more about who stands behind the throne in the Ron DeSantis orbit, it seems that Ron’s wife, Casey DeSantis, stands head and shoulder above the rest. The image emerging of her seems to center around one simple sentence: Casey DeSantis is a vindictive control freak whose liability is obvious to many political professionals; the ones that run presidential campaigns with a success record to back their opinion of her.
Nothing and no person goes past her. In fact, Ron DeSantis does not make a decision before consulting with Casey DeSantis. He even changes his opinions after consulting with her. She is really the power behind the throne.
In other words, Casey DeSantis may have managed well her husband’s extremist image in Florida, but she is about to learn that national campaigns are a different animal. That bubble she has been headquartering in is about to burst in the open when she fails to yield to the professionals who can take her husband across the finish line.

CASEY DESANTIS MAY CAUSE RON’S DEMISE
Besides the extremist policies of Ron DeSantis, his campaign has to worry also about his wife, who is more suspicious than he is.
Here are some snippets Michael Kruse wrote for Politico that are important to read to get a sense of who Casey DeSantis truly is. They are the opinions of previous DeSantis staffers and campaign managers,
- “He’s a leader who makes political decisions with the assistance of his wife, who was elected by nobody, who’s blindly ambitious. And she sees ghosts in every corner.”
- “She’s more paranoid than he is,”
- “He’s a vindictive m*****f****. She’s twice that. She’s the scorekeeper.”
- “Does she sort of humanize the robot? Does she push him on the grip-and-grin, the baby-kissing, give him a cleaner, softer image? Yes. Does she also feed into his, I guess, worst instincts, of being secluded and insular and standoffish with staff? Yes.”
- “She is both his biggest asset and his biggest liability. And I say the biggest asset in that I think she does make him warmer, softer. But he needs to be surrounded with professional people, not just her,”—Dan Eberhart
She has already caused Susie Wiles, his wildly successful campaign operative manager in Florida who led him to national prominence, to join the Trump campaign to bury him and his wife.
VINDICTIVENESS DRIVES VINDICTIVENESS
All these condensed opinions provide a glimpse of how significant Casey DeSantis is to the Ron DeSantis campaign. But it also provides a side view of his Achilles Heel, as well, which might hurt him down the road.
Casey DeSantis may very well cause his demise if she thinks she could marginalize the professionals and run his campaign all by herself. She has already caused Susie Wiles, his wildly successful campaign operative manager in Florida who led him to national prominence, to join the Trump campaign to bury him and his wife.
Vindictiveness drives vindictiveness, we guess, and Casey’s personality does not bode well for DeSantis as the campaign heats up. Nor will it bode for corporate America, as she may be the force behind punishing Disney.
