Ron DeSantis Copies Trump’s Campaign Playbook with Dairy Queen Visit – Except No One was There and No One Cares
Thegatewaypundit ^ | July 14, 2023 | Jim Hoft

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida appeared to take a page out of former President Trump’s campaign playbook on Friday with a visit to a Dairy Queen in Des Moines, Iowa. However, unlike Trump’s rallies, which drew large crowds, DeSantis’ stop at the ice cream chain drew a muted response.

n an attempt to connect with Iowa voters, DeSantis visited the Dairy Queen at Des Moines, ordered a Blizzard ice cream treat, and answered questions from the few present journalists. His visit seemed a clear nod to a Trump tradition – the former president was known for his fondness for fast-food joints during his campaign tours.

Unlike Trump’s event which was flooded with fans and onlookers, DeSantis’ visit saw a sparse crowd and a lack of the fanfare Trump was renowned for.

Believe me, we’re not obsessed with DeSantis.

What is this “we” club for which you are the spokesperson? Do the members of your club pay membership dues or are you paid for your anti-DeSantis posts?

Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about DeathSantis’ flaccid campaign. He just fired a dozen staffers about 30 minutes ago per Twitter.

Lame deflection from my request for your club info. Don’t mistake my inquiry into your club’s membership policies and payments as worry for you personally.

DeSantis is hemorrhaging donors and staff.
Trump supporters are never going to vote for him.
Where’s the deflection?

A manatee could have also beaten Katie Hobbs but she didn’t, a tree stump could have beaten John Fetterman but didn’t

An incumbent President could have beaten Joe Biden but didn’t

The point is a lot races can and should have been won but weren’t, DeSantis took a 30,000 vote victory to a landslide one million vote victory something a lot of other people didn’t do

Biden is not the President, got it.

When someone denies reality debate is meaningless, Biden is the POTUS you may not recognize him but that doesn’t make it any less true

That’s the reality. Our elections are utterly corrupt.
You think voting for DeSantis is going to fix this? They will cheat DeSantis just like they did to Trump, but unlike Trump, DeSantis will graciously concede and call for “national unity” or some garbage.

Desantis’ entire campaign from day one has been pretending to be Trump, while claiming he is somehow better..

It is by far the dumbest and stupidest campaign messaging I’ve seen in my liife

Hey guys I’m just like the guy you really want, but bette somehow..

Supposedly Richard Nixon was cheated in the 1960 election against JFK, he conceded and came back and won in 1968

The point is, the public rejects sore losers especially when they can’t afford food and the border is open

Not having an umbrella available just in a case it rains on your parade in New Hampshire. Is that the kind of preparation we expect of a President?

Running against Trump, who supported you, campaigned for you, is “ politically tone deaf “ get it ?

I get that Mike Pence and Chris Christie who served Trump well are also running and no one cares.

Daily we are told by Trump supporters that DeSantis has no chance of winning but those same supporters never talk about anyone other than DeSantis.

What is it, is DeSantis trash or is he a serious threat to Trump.

Also DeSantis or no other candidate is currently under multiple criminal indictments and could very well be a convicted Felon by the time the general election comes around. Got It ???

Are you truly serious about the charges against Trump ? I guess you believe he is a Russian spy ? All the charges are based on lies, false statements and made up laws that do not exist. Pence and twinkie are about as viable as candidates as you or I , no chance of winning, DeSantis has lost any chance at a political future. He would have been the 2028 nominee hands down, he blew it when the establishment came out and backed him. It killed any chance he had.
He’s dead Jim, Dead.

We see who you support. If you are on the DeSantis ship, it is foundering and will sink shortly.

So many can’t fathom the depth of the steal in 2020. Bogus ballot drops in key states at 3-4 am. Machine vote changes and mules dropping off more bogus ballots. No way Biden got 15 million more votes than the black messiah Obama. Biden is on a sound bite saying they put together the largest fraud operation in history.

Amid more fraud in each of the elections you site. Dominion voting machines changing votes. Ballot harvesting of the infirmed.
