At an event with Twitter and Elon Musk, and it was a technical fiasco.

Glorious incompetence.

It just cost him the Presidency, and DeSantis is now a joke.

Sometimes you're gloomy
Sometimes you're right
Most times an idiot
With posts that are shite

Disney is laying off thousands
Stock price less than half its peak
Iger is cutting Chapek plans everywhere (the new location was a Chapek idea)
And the record shows the decision to cancel was made late last year, lol.

You've essentially swallowed Iger's (dick) spin
Hook, line and sinker
And, I thought you weren't dumb
Wow, was I wrong

DeSantis press conference. Started with 600,000.
Ended up with 300,000.

He lost half of the people who thought they should check him out and invest in the future he promotes.
Repeat: he lost half of them. They tuned him out.

And these are the die-hards who waited for 20 minutes for audio and technical difficulties to be resolved.

And Trump laid into DeSantis:

“Mr Trump and his campaign greeted Mr DeSantis's much anticipated arrival into the 2024 field with a barrage of emails and posts to Truth Social, the former president's social media platform.

Soon after the governor told Mr Musk he would study the US Constitution to "see what buttons can I push" to invoke executive authority, Mr Trump released a statement addressing Mr DeSantis directly.

"'Rob,' My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!), yours does not! (per my conversation with Kim Jung Un, of North Korea, soon to become my friend!). I raised more money than you, and this was supposed to be your night!" Mr Trump wrote.

Why is this even a thing to be debated? DeSantis has never been anything BUT a joke outside of twilight zone Floridaland. Don’t forget these are the people that begged to die in disproportionate droves from Covid-19.

You all really think Mr dontsaygay and now he’s also Mr dontsayblackwhiteslaveryorracismevenifitsfuckinghistoryclass is seriously electable in the general? Phhhhhffft. DeSantis as nominee would be far easier to defeat than orange (jumpsuit) man in 2024. And orangie convict man isn’t lining up to be an actual contender outside the republican primaries.

DeSantis though??

Very few of the typically non-voting, ventured off the trailer park to cast a ballot for the first time ever in 2016, truly the epitome of a single issue voter and that single issue is LOVING RACISM constituency that Trump so spectacularly lured into his sphere are gonna come out in force for DeSantis. He’s far too dog whistley with his white supremacy and these people require bullhorns. Hell they didn’t even show up with numbers for their fuhrer in 2020, they’re not coming out for Ronnie D next year, believe that.

Then there’s women. Specifically white suburban women. Trump carried 53% of white women in 2016. Pivotal votes that won 2016 for the orange dude. DeSantis can run with Nicky Haley all he wants, no Republican is ever going to do numbers like that with WW (they’ve been nonexistent with WOC for decades already) literally ever again. Something about men that would force an 11 year old to birth her rapists baby is a real turn off for voters with uteri. Go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️

To top it off, millions of gen Zs are now of legal voting age. Enough said.

My suggestion is you save any contributions you had planned for either of these clown ass campaigns. They and their “party” or whatever the right has devolved into, are toast. Complete and utter irrelevancy is coming for them faster than the climate catastrophe. And they know it. Stick a fork in the entire ideology.

At the point, it looks like Trump vs Biden and the way things are going,
Trump should win.
I expect things to get worse before they get better in this country,
and wondering if Biden can even put on a decent presidential campaign?

Dr Boogie- Biden will absolutely do an abysmal job of a re-election campaign. He was a gaffe pro even when he was young and in possession of his full cognitive abilities. But who cares? He apparently doesn’t require those faculties to get things done plus the opps are offering such horrifying alternatives that Biden will be re-elected, and handily so.

Indeed.

Who the fuck cares, when the very best of DeSantis had to offer on his opening day was a major fuck up.

His optics are horrible right now.
he is on defense.
DeSantis looks like he is deep inside Elon Musk’s pocket, and with all the kiss ass that went on and “mutual sucking-each-other-off”, Ron and Elon’s fates are tied together.

DeSantis, politically, looks like a sleep deprived street walker right now. Fucked, worn out and in bad need of self-respect and under someone’s thumb.

DeSantis cannot go after Musk for making him look bad and costing him dearly.
Every international news outlet understands how bad this is to the DeSantis brand.

RIGHT!

BIDEN ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Open borders and millions of undocumented just running across and flooding our cities and public benefits

$5 and $6 gasoline

Afghanistan

7% inflation

Flat or negative GDP

A stalled real estate market

7% interest rates

Decline of the Dollar as the international currency

A trillion dollars sent to Ukraine for nothing

Loss of respect on the world stage

Failed to get student loan forgiveness

And don't forget...Classified documents out in the garage next to the Corvette.

The Desantis launch was a fiasco...

That isn't because Elon fired engineers it's because Twitters infrastructure couldn't handle the stretch that that event put on it. I'm certain that will change... Twitters fault no doubt as far as the space going down.... BUT.... a twitter Space? No video? No excitement no buildup? That's all on Ron's team and if you ask me they are less than impressive.

I like his policies but he is not a very charismatic speaker. I have more emotion when I talk about Service Level Agreements than Ron did about running for President .

Interesting to see the fear in the Progressives regarding DeSantis. Y'all sure don't want him to win the primary, do you? Comparing him to Trump? LOL. Get real. To begin with, he's nowhere near as narcissistic nor combative as Trump. And he's much closer to being a true conservative than Trump will ever be.

And you do realize that he went on Twitter because the MSM doesn't want him to win, either, right? So he wants as little to do with them as possible.

LOL. And no, she didn't drop any knowledge. Ask her how come Democratic Socialist AND millionaire Bernie Sanders has three houses and doesn't give away two of them to people who don't have one. Also ask her how she can be ok with someone or some group of people running the country instead of, you know, the guy who was actually elected President. Doesn't seem very democratic to me. Socialist, yes. But not democratic.

On what? The $5 going $6 gas? Or the Taliban with US helicopters, trucks, tanks, and personnel carriers? Or maybe on the illegal immigration.

Because if I don't focus, I might vote for Biden.

Gloomy, lol
Why would you start a blog about Rep candidates when your current guy is a potted plant.
Did you watch him toss a word salad at the G7 press conference?
That would be an emphatic no, as it was completely embarrassing.

Tell us about who's gonna replace demented Uncle Joe before you blather on about anybody else.
You're so predictable and well trite, banal and pedestrian.
Get back to your wheelhouse and bring us some doom, k?

Because DeSantis came out like a clogged turd out of a homeless street mutt, instead of smooth and classy.

This is a sign of how serious he takes the Presidency.
