‘No wonder Trump is kicking his ass': Newsom camp hits DeSantis on debate proposal
Politico ^ | 08/05/2023 | By ANDREW ZHANG

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s camp on Saturday blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ proposed rules for a long-touted debate, arguing that they are an attempt to hide his weaknesses as a candidate.

“What a joke,” Newsom spokesperson Nathan Click said in a statement. “Desantis’ counterproposal is littered with crutches to hide his insecurity and ineptitude — swapping opening statements with a hype video, cutting down the time he needs to be on stage, adding cheat notes and a cheering section.”

“Ron should be able to stand on his own two feet,” he added. “It’s no wonder Trump is kicking his ass.”

Isn’t that what both DeSantis and Newsome are doing?

Disgusting election maneuvers that people are tired of.

They’re following their leader who is an outspoken fan of Newsom’s. Don’t you dare call him a rino though!

I like this guy. Too bad he’s got the policies of a well groomed Pelosi

You mean the cowards who think they'll be left alone as soon as Trump is gone?

I am closer to Ann Coulter than to DeSantis in outlook, however, to win the election we need to win over the "independents". People in Massachusetts vote Democrat out of habit because their great-grandmothers didn't like the way Sacco and Vanzetti were treated. It's not rational or fair, but there it is.

The GOP nomination was decided on Jan 7 2020.. as long as he ran, Trump was the nominee.. period. Had he decided not to run the discussion would
Be different… but he has.

None of the also rans have any shot at the nomination.

Well over 60% of the primary votes will be cast for Trump.

Everyone else running combined is fighting for what will be at most the remaining 30-35% of the vote.

Those running are just confirming what most have intrinsically understood now for a long time… the establishment GOP is owned by money men who do not care at all about the citizenry or the country only with padding their own pockets.

Like any Democrat, Noisome is lying and projecting. Anyone who takes his criticisms at face value is an utter fool.

Newsom did a shockingly good job with Hannity recently. I don’t think DeSantis is anywhere in his league as a public speaker.
