God, I’m such a shallow person. I’m sitting here watching the slow, irreversible, spinful political and personal self immolation of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and I can’t stop giggling!
The main reason is that I called this shot more than a month ago. I spent a lengthy article critically but fairly comparing Pissantis with former Wisconsin Governor Scooter Scott Walker. And today, if you switch on MSNBC or CNN, every other pundit or talking head is comparing DeSantis to Walker.
It was always so simple. Both Walker and DeSantis are totally scripted, and totally encapsulated. Just look at Pissantis. When he ran for Governor, he spoke to crowds at rallies, and then immediately disappeared backstage and was whisked away. The same thing for Walker. As Governor, DeSantis signs bills or announces initiatives in very carefully crafted stage settings, with trained monkeys in the background, and then disappears. The same with Walker. And DeSantis pulls cheap advertising stunts to make try to make his diminutive stature larger than life. Just like Walker.
But here’s what’s beginning to become crystal clear through reporting. Ron. DeSantis. Just. Plain. Doesn’t Like. People! Just like Scooter walker. Politically their personalities and social deficiencies have left both to be media packaged specifically for their state constituents.
Let’s just hone in on DeSantis. The man is a totally craven coward. He went into the House on the Tea Party wave of 2010, and if you ask the majority of members who were there at the time, they didn’t even know that he was there. And those who do remember him remember him being aloof and standoffish.
In Pissantis’s gubernatorial run in 2018, he not only sold his soul to Trump, he took out a second mortgage. He despicably pimped his own family in a deplorable commercial where he read his toddler, clad in a Trump onesie from The Art of the Deal, saying, Here’s my favorite part. You’re FIRED! And then playing with his child with blocks. saying Come on Honey, let’s BUILD that wall! But what was missing was any personal interaction with Florida voters. He ran on Trump’s coattails.
And it was more of the same in his second gubernatorial campaign, only without sucking up to Trump. But he still didn’t deign to come off of the stage and mingle with the people. He put up a ridiculous commercial titled Top Gov!, where his puny frame strutted across a flight line wearing a bomber jacket and aviator sunglasses. Yes, it really was that bad. And he followed it up with another insipid ad titled And God Created A Warrior, in which DeSantis pandered to the Evangelicals as the self appointed left hand of God.
This sh*t is so pathetic. It might thrill the rustic rednecks of Florida, but to the rest of the country it looks like the kind of ad you’d see at 2 am on a local television station. But unfortunately for Pissantis, it’s all he has in the playbook.
Which won’t work. If you want to run for President on the GOP side, your *ss had damn well better be built for retail politics. That means having one of your advance scouts grind a faithful supporter, who calls 10 more faithful supporters over to the house so you can sit in the living room and discuss some of the issues that actually matter to these people.
And DeSantis just. can’t. do.it. He just doesn’t like people. He is a totally scripted politician. And it’s not just me, reporting today showed that DeSantis’s handlers set his schedule and appearances with precision to avoid him having to mingle with voters. They already know that he can’t connect with people.
And it’s starting to snowball. Torrential southern Florida rains have left Fort Lauderdale dale largely underwater. And yet DeSantis is back out on his useless book tour, in podunk towns, trying to convince he suckers to pony up, without ever actually making eye contact. He can’t be bothered to go back to Florida and meet head on with a state disaster, simply because he has no solution, and no leadership.
Meanwhile El Pendejo Presidente is gleefully slapping DeSantis around in the media like a tetherball, and DeSantis is making no attempt to defend himself or counter punch. News Flash for Top Gov! Primary voters are incredibly well tuned in to how candidates react to salvos coming from the other sode. And DeSantis is AWOL.
And now even major donors are noticing. They’ve put DeSantis on a hold until he can prove to them that he can actually compete on the national level. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that DeSantis can’t do it.
DeSantis is toast. And I believe he knows it. My personal guess is that Pissantis will keep the tease going to another month or so to fluff his campaign coffers so he can transfer the funds to a PAC and try to be a player, and then finally announce he’s not in the race. Because Pissantis’s delicate, fragile ego couldn’t take the embarrassment.
You missed one thing: He’s also a genuinely horrible, awful, no-good lousy human being. Oh, and just plain STOOPID, as well!
If that actually mattered to GOP.voters, no Republican would ever get elected. You know the old canard of calling g tail.end Boomers the “Me Generation”? R voters are the ” Me Voters”who care nothing about anyone but themselves,and have no clue what is happening outside their church or retirement community.
My take on a more accurate portrayal of this wanker than his slick commercial.
destinkus is a no class punk fascist. He has one over walker however having worked as a concentration camp guard.
Only a useless punk would work as a concentration camp guard because you have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life.
Then we have his wife, the cancer “victim”. Putting her up front is how you attract the sympathetic chumps.
republiCLOWNS love to parade around their cancer victim family members for sympathy and then take away health care for millions.
I just hope that President Biden tells this punk to bootstrap Ft. Lauderdale because bootstrapping builds character, one of many things that classless distinkus lacks…..
He’s an idiot,just like his idol the orange flameout!!!!!!!
For a minute or two just needed some brain bleach. Egads and yuck
Please do not use “DeSantis” and “naked” or the equivalent without a “not” between them. The thought of Ronnie sans clothing is nauseating. Right up.there with Fay Donnie. I think they buy their cheap illicit tiny suits from.the same place: Old Sam’s House of Cheap Suits for Fat and Dumpty Men.
