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.

Whether or not this visit was a flop or a success is irrelevant to the bogus narrative this article and the poster are trying to spin. Don’t respond to arguments not being made.
Its not a bogus narrative.
The people who need to put down the bong are the ones who think Trump actually has a shot at winning the General Election.
What is Trump's plan to win back the swing states he lost in 2020? He has no plan other than denying he lost them in the first place and he can keep doing that all day long. It's not going to get him to 270.
Ron isn’t even at Turning Point in his own home state today and tomorrow.
Except he didn’t lose it was stolen.
If DeSantis was pretending to be Trump, he'd be throwing gay parties at Mar-A-Lago, talking about how great the vax is, pushing ethanol, and banning guns by Executive Order.
About as hard to figure out as winning an election in Florida by nearly 20% and 1 million votes.
Keep screaming it from the rooftops. It's not going to get you 270 Electoral Votes.
Gosh! Just to think what could’ve been if he only have waited….but NOOOOOO he listened to the RNC POS ANTI-base group on his camp! Stupid DeStanis fell for his teammates lies sabotaging his future for the purpose of derailing Trump’s train only to have had 🥚 on his face. DeSantis was another tool by the elitist RNC to try to bring down Trump. And now that he is faltering, they are ready to stick the knife in his back and throw him overboard. That’s too bad because there was such potential with a Trump/DeSantis 2024 ticket! Unfortunately, he chose the advice of those who hate MAGA ….He killed his own future by choosing unwisely. The dream ticket is DEAD!
"I've known what Blizzards are for a long time." — Ron DeSantis, at empty Dairy Queen Friday, lamely attempting to one-up Trump, who last week joked, "What the hell is a Blizzard?" as he passed them out to a large laughing Dairy Queen crowd bantering with him.
HuffPost called this "an ice-cold dig at Trump" but it was just DeSantis outing himself once again as a complete putz.
“unlike Trump’s rallies, which drew large crowds, DeSantis’ stop at the ice cream chain drew a muted response”
Another stupid comparison to a deliberate publicized mass rally in big venues.
lol
desanctimonious probably got more coverage from this, by being on TGP, than the meet and great he had earlier in the day...
The one that doesn’t seem to have any coverage from either, because no one was interested in it.
Again what is so hard for you all to understand?
What is so hard to understand buying 20 people ice cream cones, it's not like DeSantis was giving out joints or heroin needles.
Please, allow me to take that one....
“All because Trump stumped for him! Loser! Traitor! Nyahnyahnyah!”
Nothing is hard to figured out, the man won reelection by a huge margin, he must know something about running office.
What’s so hard to figure out about that, hardly someone who is politically ignorant.

“If DeSantis were to drop out, there are a couple of posters here whose lives will be devoid of purpose.”
...and most of them are EverTrumpers.
desantis supporters/nevertrumpers with magical thinking....
What magical thinking?
Why, thinking the left will pull election fraud and come out in droves, to keep Trump from being elected....
But won’t do the same, to desanctimonious.
Huh. Gateway is now copying Sundance and other “I hate Meatball” sites.
Figures.
Trump also campaigned for Kari Lake, Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz and others who lost, he did back a few who won but the Senate is democratic right now over candidates that Trump supported who lost.
