After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious.
Yeah, he actually said that.
The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched. The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has a role to play – right?

IOWA – DeSantis took the stage for a few minutes at a campaign party in West Des Moines after he secured second place.
“Because of your support, in spite of all of that they threw at us, everyone against us — we’ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa,” he said.
DeSantis spent millions in the Hawkeye State, visited all 99 counties and cultivated the endorsements of popular Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting his candidacy, also spent more than nine months building a ground game and appointing 1,600 precinct captains across the state.
Ron DeSantis did so well in Iowa, now he gets to play Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
Got his butt kicked by Trump- check
But still managed to finish ahead of the RINO darling Nikki- check
Say what you will but
that raccoon 🦝 can dance!!
BTTT
Maybe he is practicing his gaslighting for his next gig as MSNBC republican “expert” analyst.
I think that’s illegal!!
Thx. Borrowing that!
DeSantis served in the military, where being a “ticket puncher” means doing the bare amount necessary at a particular requisite job/assignment in order to move on to the next higher level/promotion. It implies little effort or commitment in that assignment and reflects a sense of entitlement.
It really says a lot about how he feels about what this election means to him and voters can sense it. That’s why he is doing so poorly.
You got your clock cleaned.
I’ve always wondered the meaning and origin of that phrase......................
Aren’t influencers suppose to influence people?
Epic fail.
All 1600 Captains voted for him.
And thats it, nobody else.....
Is that what they're calling it these days?
The smugness.
I think poso’s mumbers are for direct campaign committee spending...
I don’t think it includes super pac spending, as roe’s axiom strategies media companies got over 60 million in spending alone, and there were two other pacs also doing spending for desanctimonious.
Gaines. :)
Maybe he meant he had his ticket punched in a Mafioso way - his campaign is dead.
