    Yeah, I think his education stuff constitute policies, even if they're bad; "getting things done" is his main pitch. DeSantis is not entertaining enough or charismatic enough to stand around telling jokes and dancing to YMCA like Trump does. Even when DeSantis attacks people, it's not entertaining. I'm not sure anyone can teach that, so he is having to promise that he's the only one who can win and that he actually cares about getting results once elected.

    Yes, but being able to deliver the kind of "results" he has in Florida may be very appealing politically. A lot of hate and desire to oppress out there

    His message is dark and evil, but Trump does it better than he does. As long as Trump is in the race, DeSantis can't win.

    Of course, don't like either of them. And your logic is sound. But going to be hard to feel at peace about all this until January 20, 2025, assuming the right individual is taking the oath and violent insurrection does not seem imminent.

    A lot of the perv Republicans who stalk and lust over AOC would rather watch her on Twitch than watch fat boy’s presidential announcement

    This thread is oddly missing the right aligned posters. Comments? Again, the GOP is an absolute mess right now.

    They're not hard because you can't really defend this big mess up. Also, a number of them feel that Ron screwed himself with the 6 week abortion ban

    Trump is the one who put those FedSoc supremes on the high court. It will be easy to blame him for overturning Roe. The GOP is in serious trouble in 2024. I wonder if they it.

    And Ron is apparently campaigning on the premise that he will follow in Trump's footsteps with respect to the nomination of SCOTUS justices. While it may work in Republican primaries it's a guaranteed losing position in the general election.

    Why is Musk in this video? Who thought this was a good idea?

    How does DeS not understand the difference between civil rights riots, and storming the Capitol to impede an election?

    “Now, some of these case, some people may have a technical violation of the law,” DeSantis said. “But if there are three other people who did the same thing but just in a context, like [the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020] and they don’t get prosecuted at all, that is uneven application of justice, and so … we will use the pardon power.”

    Very bizarre. This is from his actual campaign staff? Looks like a poor fan made video.

    Same cringe level as "Come play for the Joker!"

    Hilarious. He cant even virtue signal competently. What a Mickey Mouse operation - oh wait - Desantis now has redefined a Mickey Mouse operation into meaning ass kicking.
