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.

Trump won Arizona and so did Kari. I do not accept your premise.
I don’t accept your premise either, because Trump is not POTUS and Kari Lake is not Governor of Arizona.
Is meatball still trying to get traction?
DeSantis turned down an invite to tpusa 6,000 young conservatives
In Florida.
And Biden is not President and DeSantis never will be.
“ Let’s not gang up. He’s just a little ahead of his time. Should be ripe in ‘28 unless he pulls a Cruz and tell us to vote conscience”
No.
“ Oh, BTW, did you see DeSantis knock it out of the park at Tucker Carlson’s forum yesterday?
Trump didn’t show up. He knew Carlson would ask him some hardball questions that he didn’t want to answer.”
That’s comedy
Why did DeSantis turn down Charlie Kirk and tpusa. It’s in Florida. 6,000 conservatives. Trumps speaking there in about an hour from now
Charlie Kirk will have his kneepads on and Trump won't be fielded a single difficult question.
It is that...
Or his campaign still has over $130 million or so between his campaign and superpacs, that the campaign consultants have to get their share of, before desantis is done....
Could be because Carlson avoided asking her directly about the Ukraine conflict, but overall the conversation flowed better with Haley than the other candidates. She had some ideas and a couple of good stories too.
DeSantis sounded a little bit programmed, but much less so than Pence.
“...the ones who think Trump actually has a shot at winning the General Election.”
The above is the GOPe donor class narrative: “Trump can’t win”. That is all it is, a narrative. Trump can win and his poll numbers are proving the fake narrative to indeed be false.
Doesn’t answer my question. Why did DeSantis turn that down?
Or he was just getting something to eat.
I don’t think they have pudding cups there, though...
Poll numbers for what?
Primaries?
Translate that into beating back the Dems that will elect Biden much less Newsom out of hatred for Trump, which he is as good at engendering as the ever-loving butt-kissing by some.
Not at all responsive to what I said. And you know that.
LOL. Believe me, we’re not obsessed with DeSantis.
We’re just gladly watching him piss away a 2nd term on a failed run for President orchestrated by Paul Ryan and Rupert Murdoch.
Dude, a manatee could have beaten Charlie Crist in 2022.
