Ron DeSantis 2024 (Campaign suspended on January 21, 2024)

Not wrong, and I think DeSantis was overly impressed by his complicit state legislature. If those spineless wimps had stood up for the rule of law, rather than caving to his demands, his many “victories” in the War on Woke would never have been a thing, and his basic lack of charisma would have made his efforts to reach the national scale much less plausible.

WTF?

If a governor is running for President, that money usually comes from the campaign contributions, doesn’t it? Not the taxpayers? Ron DeSantis’ Security & Travel Bill Is Costing Florida Taxpayers – SheKnows

What’s that? Super PACs are prohibited by federal regulations from directly coordinating with a campaign?

Ha ha, whatever, we’ll do whatever we fucking please.

“Who’s gonna stop us!”, the motto of the modern GOP.

Brace yourselves, DeSantisistas, for the FEC to come down on you with all the righteous fury and awesome might of… a palsied kitten!

Or, brace yourselves for a smack-down TONIGHT AT 9PM EASTERN ON FOX!

Ronald DeSantis faces the likes of Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Nikki Haley, Doug Bergum (if he doesn’t pull out), and Asa Hutchinson, all former governors. Also making appearances in Milwaukee: dark-horse candidate Tim Scott and political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy. (Former President Donald Trump will not be participating in tonight’s brawl - he will broadcast an interview with former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson on another channel.)

Rooting for a smallish space rock.

Actually, Fox will be busy with an episode of MasterChef at that time. The debate is only on Fox News. No word yet on where the Trump interview will show up.

Meanwhile, I expect the MAGA PAC to announce the results of a survey showing that the winner of the debate was…the empty podium that was reserved for Trump.

The only one worth watching is Christie, altho it is possible Desantis melts down.

Apparently, it will be only on Carlson’s Twitt-er, X account

Christie won’t win the nomination, but he is pretty good at political debate. Sharp New Jersey sarcasm and snark and his experience as a prosecutor.

I’ll watch highlights though, I can’t torture myself to watch the entire debacle.

I would watch, if I had cable, but tonight I had already planned to change the air in my car’s tires.

I am with you on both.

I am hoping for a deSantis melt-down.

That’d be great.

And extra points if it’s because Christie made him cry.

Christy is going to shred both DeSantis and Trump, I just hear Trump is doing an interview with Tucker at the same time the debate will air. That is really chicken shit.

Going to be difficult to top the 2016 Republicant debate with such hits as Cruz’s wife is ugly, Ted’s father helped murder JFK, Rubio breaking a tooth on a Twix bar, Cruz and Carson duking it out in a closet …

Most likely yes. He has skills.

Technically no, they already filmed the interview, but the plan is to release it to the public at the same time, so it’s kind of like he’s getting interviewed at the same time. But since Tucker got fired and he’s too radioactive for anyone to hire him, it’s just a video he’s putting on social media, like an elementary school kid might.

Indeed it is.

I would watch, but there’s an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies playing on a high channel - the Clampetts get a hippopotamus when one of Mr. Drysdale’s advertising schemes backfires. I’d much rather watch that.

I prefer to seek a higher intellectual plane than the debate, so I’ll be watching “Court Cam” and “My Strange Arrest”.
