Far away from Trump's jail drama, Ron DeSantis and his family head to Iowa's 'Field of Dreams'
Abcnews ^ | Aug 24, 2023 | Thomas Beaumont

Ron DeSantis gripped a baseball, looked at his 5-year-old son, Mason, and lobbed him pitch after pitch. He grinned at Mason's hits and rolled his eyes when his own pitches came in too low or too high.

“Bad pitch, buddy,” the Florida governor said after one errant throw. “That one was my fault.”

DeSantis, who battles a reputation for being stiff and unfriendly, approached the field wearing a fleece campaign vest and long-sleeved shirt with his sleeves rolled up. The heat was starting to ease with sunset.

desanctimonious trying for his 'build it. and they will come' moment....

Except there's only about 30-40 people there, likely mostly team desantis supporters - see video

https://www.nbcnews.com/video/ron-desantis-plays-baseball-at-the-field-of-dreams-for-a-campaign-stop-191554629785

Likely the ones telling desanctimonious he still has a chance, are the team desantis grifters that are trying to suck dry the 60-70 millions in campaign donations that are left.

And who wears fleece in a hot, summer day?

They tried the, ‘Everyman’ approach with Paul Ryan.

And look how THAT turned out. *SPIT*

“And who wears fleece in a hot, summer day? “


A candidate who follows the advice of his stupid consultants, no matter how dumb or inappropriate.

This is not fair to the people of FL.
There needs to be a Constitutional Amendment that anyone who runs for federal office must resign their existing office within 30 days.

"Field of Dreams?" Really? Most of the locals don't even take that place seriously anymore... well, except for the Chicago/Dubuque development/marketing types who stand to get any profits as long as there are still people who think a 30 year old movie location is a pilgrimage site.

Weak.

If DeSantis believes Trump’s arrest helps him he is delusional. The only way he gains is if he makes a major address attacking the corrupt prosecutions and defends Trump in a loud and firm voice. And I don’t see that happening.

In the meantime we have a tropical something cooking and headed this way. Never mind, the ladies Jeanette Nunez and Ashley Mooney run the state anyhow.

Yes...

The system in the gulf near honduras has the potential to hit hurricane strength by the time it hits somewhere around the panhandle of Florida.

It’s still to early for the models to give an intensity, as it hasn’t developed yet.

There was a Florida law that required elected officials to resign if they wanted to run for a different office.

It was repealed earlier this year so DeSantis could run for President.

Major league baseball played a game there in 2022, and expect to do so again next year. Apparently they want to make it a tourist attraction.

Oh, yes... they have tried that on their own in the past and are lately resuscitating it with the help of Chicagoans.
