Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

Seems like if the Republicans could coalesce around an anti-Trump candidate, they might be able to get a decent candidate (which is to say, compared to a steaming pile of dog shit, but that's being too pejorative towards dog shit).  

But we all know that won't happen.

Anecdotally, it seems the non-Trump Republicans are trying to coalesce around Haley.  I’m getting lots of spam emails about her, I know people are setting up fundraisers for her in Texas, etc.  I never see anything for anyone else except Trump.  It’s all completely for naught, of course, as even among the people who dare go against Trump there’s more appetite for someone like Vivek Ramaswamy than a normal politician.   But I think Haley is going to end up being the token challenger from the not completely insane voter bloc when we get to actual primaries, at which point she will be swiftly crushed.

When we get to the primaries, there will be plenty of ads that start with "How much do you know about Nimarata Randhawa, or "Nikki Haley" as she calls herself when she's running for office, and for somebody who calls herself a Christian, why did she have a Sikh marriage ceremony? How much do we really know about Nimarata Randhawa?"

Oof

 

 

How did I miss DeSantis pulling a Pence and referring to his wife as his mommy 5 months ago? Was it posted on here? 

What a fucking DeSaster this dude is and what a lost opportunity.  

He had a chance to pick up some of the Pornhub vote if he'd said "My step mommy".

Meatball Ron may or may not have kicked Tucker Carlson's dog in addition to numerous other faux pas that even turned off Tucker's wife, who of course is named Susie.

Quote

In an interview with Mediaite, author Michael Wolff revealed that Tucker Carlson was the source for his reporting that Ron DeSantis shoved – and possibly kicked – Carlson’s dog during an awkward lunch between the erstwhile Fox News host and the 2024 hopeful.

In his upcoming book, The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty, Wolff describes a scene in which the Republican governor of Florida and his wife attend a lunch at the Carlsons’ home in Boca Grande, Florida. DeSantis, in Wolff’s telling, made a terrible impression on Carlson and his wife Susie, speaking in an “outdoor voice indoors,” and obnoxiously rattling off his accomplishments, demonstrating “a total inability to read the room.” He even “pushed” one of the Carlsons’ dogs under the table.

“Had he kicked the dog?” Wolff writes. “Susie Carlson’s judgment was clear: she did not ever want to be anywhere near anybody like that again. Her husband agreed.”

That anecdote was disputed by both sides when it was made public in an excerpt of the book published by New York magazine last week. “This is absurd,” Carlson told Insider. “He never touched my dog, obviously.” The DeSantis campaign said: “The totality of that story is absurd and false. Some will say or write anything to attack Ron DeSantis because they know he presents a threat to their worldview.”

However, speaking with Mediaite for an upcoming episode of The Interview podcast, Wolff said the source for the anecdote was Carlson.

“The source on this is Tucker himself,” he said. “I just reflect what he told me.”

When asked whether his subjects were lying about what happened, Wolff stood by the story: “I don’t know, maybe he exaggerated. Maybe he lied. I don’t know. Maybe he regrets saying that. I have no idea.”

“I think what I am accurately reflecting is his feelings about Ron DeSantis, and at the moment he seemed to have felt that he kicked the dog,” Wolff said. “I can’t tell you whether that happened or not. I can tell you with the greatest authority that that’s what he said happened.”

When asked by Mediaite if Carlson would be “comfortable” being outed as Wolff’s source on the alleged incident he was publicly denying, Wolff said: “I don’t know what he’s comfortable with. As I said, this is from the horse’s mouth.”

Carlson did not respond to a request for comment.

Wolff’s reporting methods for his best-selling books have been criticized in the past. Some of the reporting in his books about the Trump White House was disputed by the key figures involved.

The new book has also come under scrutiny. Fox News said the controversial author did not reach out to the network for comment or to confirm his reporting. In his interview with Mediaite, which releases Tuesday, Wolff defended his practices and insisted that everything in The Fall is “100 percent” true.

“This book is my version of the experience that I had, of what I know, of what people have told me. This is the story through my eyes,” he said.

The outdoor voice indoors is great and on brand. The dog story? If your dog sniffs my balls he gets a knee the first couple of times. If he keeps it up he’s getting kicked. And you’re a shitty host if it gets to that point

If my dog sniffs around you a few times and your next move is to kick him, I'm going to whip your ass.

I’m going to squat down and pet him and make friends when we are introduced, but he’s not going to have his nose in my crotch continuously after that. You want me sniffing your wife’s ass when we meet?

Keep your dog off your guests chief

After declaring Donald Trump “missing in action” at last week’s Republican presidential primary debate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis followed up by taking shot after shot at the former president. He challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate, asserted the GOP front-runner’s political shortcomings “turned Georgia and Arizona blue” and accused him of hiding from the campaign trail, a criticism akin to one Republicans levied against Joe Biden in 2020.

Quote

And at his campaign’s online store – where DeSantis used to sell flip flops attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci and a sleeve of two golf balls proclaiming “Florida’s governor has a pair” – people can now purchase “Trump’s veto pen” for $7.8 trillion, a joke intended to draw attention to the Trump White House’s contributions to the national debt.

It’s all a part of a more aggressive approach DeSantis has taken in recent weeks, after months of dancing around whether to ignore or engage with the former president and as a fresh sense of urgency hangs over the race to try and slow Trump’s march to the nomination.

Quote

Noticeably absent, though, is any semblance of a clear frontal attack on Trump’s pending criminal indictments and civil lawsuits from DeSantis – even as Trump on Monday was seated in a Manhattan courtroom for a trial over his company’s alleged gross inflation of its assets. Instead, DeSantis targeted Trump over a 2016 campaign pledge to force Mexico to pay for a new wall at the border, calling it “an empty campaign slogan.”

This new phase of the DeSantis campaign is taking shape with just over 100 days before the caucuses in Iowa, where a strong showing, if not outright victory, is paramount to DeSantis’ viability. And it comes amid growing worries among conservative donors and operatives that Trump’s lead in national polls and key nominating states is growing harder to overcome.

Why would Trump debate a loser, currently running in 4th or 5th place? This challenge might have had some value a year ago, but Trump has fully run DeSantis over by now. 

Ron is a dead armadillo on the side of the road and the only thing he has to offer the world is leprosy.

Every picture of him these boots shows the same thing. You can see that his foot is smashed up against the front by the ridiculous lifts he's shoved in them and the front is 3 inches too long to hide his Lilliputian feet.

One pair of absurdly oversized boots doesn't hide the fact that Ron buys the rest of his shoes at Lady Footlocker.

This is a little too on-the-nose for the location of Carlson's home.

I’ve seen enough.  DeSantis can’t even get a single page on surly in 2 weeks. And half of the posts are about the lifts in his boots.

And the irony is that he's finally attacking Trump, and going fairly hard in the paint.

Something he should have done from the beginning.
