Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

DeSantis' Presidential campaign is all but over.  And I am guessing this Category 4 Hurricane hitting Florida is going to be the nail in that coffin.  

His response will be spectacularly bad.  

Always fun to see these folks who hate socialism beg the federal government to come bail their asses out.  

 

"Why hasn't Joe Biden visited Florida yet!!!???"

In all seriousness, I expect to be saying that by tomorrow morning.

This dude seems like he is on the path to political irrelevancy in short order. And it has happened stunningly fast.

Major scandal? Not really (though some of his stunts ain't good). Corruption? Affair? Hot mic moment?

No, he just started being in front of cameras and he turned people off so much.

Unfortunately, unctuous, lizard-like, repulsiveness doesn't exclude you from a career you don't deserve.

Imagine how hard you would laugh if that guy walked up to you dressed like that. No way I'd be able to contain it. 

No shit. And he’s wearing that vest then. I guarantee it was hot AF with brutal humidity in the aftermath of the hurricane. I could live to be 100 and I won’t ever forget those white welly go-go boots.

Saw someone on TV say: "there are two kinds of people.  Those who know DeSantis will be the next president and those who have met DeSantis."

DeSantis refusing to take the Biden's inflation relief money. 

the feds are offering Florida and its residents $350m to encourage energy efficiency initiatives. DeSantis is saying no. The good news is that if DeSantis doesn't change his mind by next August, the money is released to other states.

My prediction is that DeSantis quietly accepts this money next summer but simultaneously proclaims how he is bringing $350m to Florida that Biden didn't want them to have. This will be long after he bows out of the Presidential race.

If your campaign lasts longer than four hours, call your doctor because you beat DeSantis and your dick.

Well...it's more about the next four months...

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/31/politics/desantis-super-pac-audio/index.html

Quote

In an urgent appeal to wealthy Republicans who had assembled in Milwaukee ahead of the first GOP presidential primary debate, top brass for the super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told donors they needed an injection of $50 million over the next four months, according to leaked audio obtained by CNN.

“We just need your help getting $50 million more by the end of the year, and $100 million more by the end of March,” Never Back Down CEO Chris Jankowski told donors hours before DeSantis stepped on the stage Aug. 23, according to the audio. “I’m not worried about the second 50. We need the first 50.”

Quote

Throughout an hour-long presentation, Jankowski, chief operating officer Kristin Davison and chief strategist Jeff Roe walked donors through their inside view of how DeSantis is faring just five months before the Iowa caucus kicks off primary season. Their frank but upbeat assessments touched on perceived shortcomings in media exposure compared to the Trump campaign, their push to lean more heavily on Florida first lady Casey DeSantis and their goal of getting more than 100,000 Iowans to caucus for DeSantis.

Quote

Among the information shared was the “DeSantis index,” an in-house metric that measures the likelihood someone will back the Florida governor.

“If you have an education, if you have higher income, if you read the Bible and if you go to church regularly, you happen to be a DeSantis supporter,” Roe told the room.

The audio provides an inside look at the strategy behind a super PAC that has assumed an unusually outsized role in DeSantis’ presidential campaign – one that has attracted the attention of campaign finance watchdogs and has, at times, led to friction with DeSantis’ official operation. The tension spilled into the open just days before the Milwaukee event, when the super PAC released a memo with debate pointers for DeSantis. The unsolicited advice was poorly received.

Quote

Never Back Down – initially funded in large part by $82.5 million transferred from DeSantis’ state political committee – has operated as a de facto shadow campaign for the governor. It has assumed traditional campaign duties, including building out an extensive field operation in early nominating states, training operatives, enlisting endorsements from local leaders and planning DeSantis’ travel and staging his events. Last week, DeSantis toured northwest Iowa on a bus operated by Never Back Down.

Roughly 60 donors attended the fundraising lunch, hosted at a DoubleTree hotel blocks away from the debate venue, sources familiar with the event details told CNN. Among the attendees was Dallas businessman Roy Bailey, the former co-chair of the Trump campaign’s finance committee who has since changed allegiances.

Quote

Davison told CNN Thursday “every investor wants to see how you get to the final round and how you win, and almost all the donors left confident that that we had a clear path to victory to help the governor win.”

The super PAC arranged the pre-debate fundraiser at a critical juncture in the campaign for DeSantis. After a month-long shakeup of his political operation to address stalled poll numbers and cost overruns, the debate was seen internally as a moment for the Florida governor to rally fundraisers and supporters for its aggressive fall campaign.

Lot more at the link, but yeah, this is a campaign running on fumes.

Biden is touring Hurricane Idalia damage. But DeSantis doesn't have plans to meet him

Can you blame him? Those pictures in those stupid boots and then looking like Biden's gimp while POTUS actually interacted with the people during their last disaster was the start of his downfall.
