Spends months talking about how trump is incompetent, then endorses trump
Ah yes. The Lindsay Graham
To be fair, other than the subtext created by running, I don't think he's ever criticized Trump.
He hasn't. With a handful of obvious exceptions, the entire Republican leadership has spent the last four years running a clinic in cowardice, pathetic boot-licking and groveling.
I'd imagine in a dark and dystopian future, the dictatorial and dysfunctional trump dynasty will simply imprison any challengers to the throne, like their daddy Putin does.
This ain't gonna happen. Trump couldn't run for two terms in a row. Do you know why? Because the majority of Americans don't want him.
In a democratic country that would indeed be the result, but he became president while the majority of American voters didn't vote for him in 2016.
So that is no guarentee at all, because the US political system is archaic and rotten to the core.
Lol, when did he do that? The time he literally said in a debate he'll vote for him?
saw that coming from a parsec away, probably trying to suck hard so he can get that VP position and be the next to be almost murdered by Trump.
You mean Pence isnt available?
Mother said no
She thought Donald was a bad influence on Mike
saw that coming from a parsec away,
I feel like this perfectly describes the current sociopolitical and ecological trajectories of our country
Remember when he was widely being portrayed as the intelligent version of Trump we should all be afraid of?
I admit I fell for some of that. Thought he could be a more dangerous version. Didn't realize when he got in front of people he has the charisma of a rock and a brain not much better.
We can't keep relying on the fascists being cartoonishly bad politicians. Trump's cheese brain and buffoonishness hurt him, Desantis's completely alien personality hurt him, but these limitations have just been happenstance. The fascist movement is ready and willing and out in the open, and sooner or later they're going to find someone who doesn't have these ancillary flaws. There are plenty of smooth talking sociopaths out there who can feign human emotion and string together complete sentences while being a generic white guy under the age of retirement, we're just lucky they haven't risen to the top yet, because we're kind of squeaking by already.
The openly racist fascists are weak little turds in reality.
Don't get complacent and remember to vote.
So, he was able to make Florida pretty awful for non cis het people; he actually cared to forward the culture war and people get hurt in war. I became less afraid of him as a candidate when Disney stripped the power from the board he took over and he very obviously with his dick in a vise opted to tighten the vice.
Probably the worst campaign that's ever been ran in recent history
Didn't last as long as Jeb! but nothing that quite reaches the "please clap" moment sadly
Mmm, hungwy!
Yes, it's bad lip reading not real, but it's real in my heart, dammit!
Dude opened up so many "war on" fronts. He really waged a war against WOKENESS as a vague term that nobody could explain what it meant, then attacked major corporations like fucking Disney.
What a god damn moron.
Idk Trump is trying to run again so we'll see how far he goes
He's sadly succeeding so far.
Lol what an absolute chump
Oh and asshole? It's Thai food
Bruh, what’d I miss?
Ooof, that's so... Self-debasing, the word pathetic isn't remotely strong enough. The embarrassment I involuntarily feel for such a fascist piece of alligator shit.
Wow.
What a pathetic cunt.
Imagine spending all that money and time to get crushed and fold like a piece of paper.
Sack of shit.
OK so what does it mean for Haley?
Now she's going to lose.
She was going to lose before, but she still is.
She can ambitiously strutt across stages for a few more months
Hopefully like this:
Edit: how do I get gifs to play in a comment?
No no. This is perfect. That’s exactly how I see her when I turn off my TV.
Nothing? I think their campaigns are pretty separate.
Nothing really.
What a spineless piece of work....
Fucking pathetic lmao, especially after his pathetic little speech after his ass beating in Iowa
Please clap
Pathetic twat
He got his participation trophy. I think thats all he really wanted in the first place.❄️🏆
He's a loser little titty baby
I renounce Jesus Christ!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DeSantis entered the Republican presidential race with an impressive political operation and widespread popularity in the party after achieving a blowout 2022 re-election win in Florida, which had for decades been one of the most tightly divided states in the nation.
When DeSantis officially launched his White House bid in May, a glitchy Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk became emblematic of a campaign that was often overshadowed by infighting, financial troubles, and a complicated partnership with the super PAC Never Back Down.
He weaved his signature war on “woke” through several policy proposals, including ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government, barring transgender service members from the military, and banning gender-affirming medical care for minors.
After the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in Israel, DeSantis mobilized the Florida Department of Emergency Management to organize evacuation flights as the war raged, with those efforts extracting nearly 700 American citizens from the Middle East.
By the end of his run, DeSantis was regularly attacking Trump in his stump speech, chiding the former president for not following through on 2016 campaign promises like building a border wall, for refusing to join primary debates, and for his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
After celebrating a second-place finish as a victory, DeSantis opted to first visit South Carolina instead of making the traditional overnight trip for presidential candidates from Des Moines, Iowa, to Manchester, New Hampshire.
