During a Pennsylvania MAGA rally tonight, President Trump went through the republican polling for the 2024 nomination contest.
When it came to the second-place polling finisher, President Trump gave the Florida governor a new nickname, “Ron DeSanctimonious.” LOL
Many people were caught off guard by the rather humous slight, aka a shot across the bow as subtle as a brick through a window; however, it’s likely President Trump was responding to the latest, well, rather cringy campaign ad from the Florida governor’s campaign, “Ron is God.”
$200 million in Wall Street and corporate donations buys a lot of hubris. Add that money to the echo-chambered DeSantis campaign branding group, mix in a few detached billionaires amid the cocktail circuit, and what you get is a cringeworthy ad in the same theme as the Ted Cruz campaign in 2016. The similarities are not coincidental.
“Ron DeSanctimonious” it’s funny, because like all the best nicknames, the truth within it just sticks.
...
All good questions
RD does toss hats though and talks Florida First.
Could you do me a favor and take a break from posting?
Skipping past all your posts without reading them is wasting too much time.
OR BECAUSE OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND LAWSUITS AND NONSENSE THAT NEVER, NEVER END??
This is great. All the harassment coming from his opponents, which makes the man a Superman in my eyes and NOW he has to take punishment from his own supporters????
What man can sustain this.
I did, and some people absolutely do have blind, slavish, mindless faith in him.
If you don't, then I wasn't talking about you.
And he happens to be GOVERNOR of FLORIDA. Funny how it works that way.
Sundance is a clown.
Nowhere in the ad does it say DeSantis is God. They were trying to make it sound like a Paul Harvey type of thing.
Trump has an issue with De Santis over his endorsement of a Never Trumper in the Colorado senate race.
True
Actually, I like the ad
And DeSantis
But loyalty matters in politics and life
In Congress, DeSantis did vote for the FTA for TPP
In the White House, Trump inflicted “Operation Warp Speed” on us, and gave power and authority to the execrable Fauci and his minions.
Nobody’s perfect.
C’est tres interessant.
It’s a compliment to get a nickname.
Obviously, you know nothing about Rush. That was always said ‘tongue in cheek’. Rush was actually very humble.
The DeSantis ad is serious.
Trump was played and betrayed.
He’s our weapon, more than our leader.
What he has unfortunately shown us in face cards is that the country has ended. I don’t post on my thoughts on that much.
The image goes for DeSantis, too,in support of the TPP and lack of loyalty
I’ve probably asked this before, but what does GOPE stand for?
GOPe stands for backstabbing, dirty dealing and double crossing.
Just watched the ad. I think it is fine. In NO WAY does it even imply that “Ron Is God”. God created RD: True. RD is a fighter: True. The same ad could be used inserting Trump’s name — and it would be pretty much all true. God created THAT fighter, too. (The “eighth day” thing is a little weird.)
What a horrendous title for Sundance to use for his article!
I’m not a big fan of RD, but “c’mon, man”, ya gotta be fair. Sundance is not fair. It makes all of us look bad when our side puts out lies like Sundance did. Sheesh.
“ Few will get the Paul Harvey/God Made a Farmer parallel.”
I got it immediately. I guess you have to be a certain age to do so.
But it was a bad idea and a cringy ad.
Like I said, nobody’s perfect.
You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish you had.
