Ice-cold DeSantis shows zero support for wife's speech
BB ^ | 6/2/23 | Mark Frauenfelder

Posted on 06/02/2023 12:30:47 PM PDT by conservative98

Governor DeSantis's wife took the stage to deliver a speech, presumably on a topic close to her heart — their three-year-old child. Admittedly, it was dull and she should fire her speechwriter. But hubby Ron should have at least pretended to care about what she was saying. Instead, the mean-spirited Presidential candidate failed to exhibit even a hint of interest.

Rather than lending a supportive presence at the side of his wife, DeSantis looked as if he'd rather be anywhere else. Standing on the extreme side of the stage, his body language revealed boredom, annoyance, and a general disconnection from the words being spoken. As he fidgeted, not seeming to know what to do with his hands, you could almost hear him thinking, "Get me the hell out of here."

Nevertheless, one can only wonder if the seeming boredom on his part is simply an indication of a man who lives for power and spectacle, someone who thrives on the adrenaline rush of cruel political stunts. Or perhaps he's just a man trapped in a situation of his own making.

“Trump is literally worse than Obama”

The Trump Derangement Syndrome of you never Trumpers borders on insanity. Just wow.

This is one of the worst desantis supporter/likely nevertrumper, who spams thread after thread, with lies or misleading things to derail threads...

Again

These desantis supporters will revert to the tactics the left uses, when they can't defend desantis. They
lie and mis-direct the arguement, and go off on tangents,
change the subject,
start moving the goal post,
and finally, they start doing personal attacks

What golden eagle did was try to derail the thread by going off on a tangent,.... something the poster does all the time.

Yet they won't defend what a liar, fake, and deceitful person desantis is.

That’s a real post from Trump, so once again, as typically always, you are wrong.

Sure it looks like a fake to his supporters, it’s so outrageous what he said, but they just haven’t been paying attention.

What does knowing him personally have to do with how he presents in a nationwide campaign?

Optics are always a very big part of one of those.

An argument can be made, and was made by Alexander Hamilton, that public and private virtue are two separate things. In Trump’s case his recent behavior strips him of any plausible claim to either form of virtue.

Like I said, the post has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

The only reason this poster does things like this, is to disrupt this forum and distract people from realizing how bad desantis really is.

The poster I was debating with brought up foreign policy, so I dropped that new bomb on him. And when people try to create new threads containing negative Trump information, they sometimes get deleted, so sometimes posting it during a debate is the only way for information to get out.

Clearly you’d like to try to keep this board locked down, and the Trump supporters treated like mushrooms, but the freedoms of thought and speech have a way of finding their course.

Why is his bedwarmer giving a speech? Why this nutty obsession with the opinions of political wives.

That is offensive but I guess if you are comparing DeSantis have and being loyal to his wife in comparison to Trump's long history of adultery, pornstars, etc., fine.

BTW, she's born and raised American, not a mail-order foreign beauty queen wife that barely speaks English.

And now claims of being persecuted for being anti-Trump.

If you were being perscuted for posting TDS post, you’d be gone already.

And no ‘higher ground’ b.s. about how Trump supporters are trying to silence speech....

Because, clearly many desantis supporters do a “why can’t Trump attack dems instead of desantis” “can’t republicans get along” kum ba ya trying to keep any mention of what a manipulative, lying, and crooked, politician desantis is, from happening.

I have no social skills and no presence in a group whatsoever but even I could come off with more charisma than that!

I had no idea that charisma was a major requirement to be President of the United States.

The Trump supporters don’t blow off the content based on the site, they defend the content or attack it if it was edited or in accurrate...

Unlike you desantis supporters that say, for example, everything on thegatewaypundit, theconservativetreehouse and nationalfile can’t be trusted.


Give it a rest - I'm not a DeSantis supporter. I don't know enough about what he wants to do or what he's about. Even if his positions are right, he won't get my primary vote unless I think he has a better chance of winning the general election than Trump. I find it interesting that so many Trump supporters seem to think they've figured him out, though, and that they keep using attacks on DeSantis from the Left.

Since TV and JFK, it pretty much is.

By utilizing a utilitarian philosophy to evaluate Trump: it’s not what he says, or who he is, or what he has done in the past; rather, it is what positive consequences would result from electing him. That’s how I deal with it, anyway.

It’s yet another far Left propaganda site being posted here to attack and divide conservatives from people claiming to be conservatives. A site literally called “Progressive Left Productions” has also been posted here several times - of course, if you question that, you are a “neocon Biden supporter.”

Issues even past performance take a back seat to looks & charisma.

Neither am I. I’ll criticize any candidate when I see fit. I’m Never-Biden.
