Porn stars vs. parenthood: Ron DeSantis plays the family card against Trump
NBC News ^ | June 2, 2023 | Natasha Korecki and Henry J. Gomez

Posted on 06/02/2023 3:04:39 PM PDT by chickenlips

SALIX, Iowa — It has become a bit. In these early days of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ bid for president, Casey DeSantis joins her husband onstage, and the stories start to roll.

There’s the one about bottled water from the Sea of Galilee, preciously savored for the children’s baptisms, that’s accidentally tossed out by a housekeeper at the governor's residence. Then there are Casey’s attestations of mom-hood, battling permanent marker scrawls on furniture and dragging by day’s end, when her husband comes home from work and she hands over the three children.

The couple fires off all the indicators of wholesome family values to a conservative evangelical-heavy GOP audience. And even without mentioning Donald Trump's name, they set up an inescapable antithesis to the former president, who faces charges related to a porn star payoff and was found liable for sexual abuse and who, when he landed in Iowa on Thursday, wasn’t accompanied by his wife.

The way they treated Melanie as First Lady was horrible, so I don’t blame her for not going on the campaign trail…She doesn’t want his dirty laundry out there, yet it’s old dirty laundry. Wait until he wins the nomination, then she’ll join him.

Trump has that stuff from the past. And he has to take the hit from it.

DeSantis is SWAMP today, and every day in the future.

No, I don’t think so. It didn’t pull a Toddler, either.

Mike Pence also pretends to be a ‘holier than thou’ family man too.

We thought we were getting the return of the Bushes with DeSantis.

But after that “Eighth Day of Creation” ad, it turns out we are getting the return of David Koresh.

75 million people voted for Trump in 2020, and they knew all of the morality issues already. Bringing up Trump’s moral issues from the past is dumb.

I am sure that Melania will keep her mouth shut. She gets his money, she got US citizenship. She won the lottery.

Trump did not get the job done. All they did was bluster and sign a few executive orders, everything he did was reversed as soon as he left. He did not work with Congress to get anything permanently accomplish. We don’t need someone who thinks he can fix things in six months, that will be over the next day. We need someone with legislative experience, who will get things done for the long term.

Serious question. Was/is that a REAL campaign ad? Did his team put it out? It’s cringe as all heck.

THAT is a dumb statement of galactic proportions. Besides booming employment, and industry, and foreign trade, Trump silently , secretly brought world leaders into a new system which will soon be activated. But first, to destroy the DS, he had to let them steal the 2020 election, install a bandit corrupt gubmint, and set the stage for a total return to our Founding Principles. And it will be well underway within the next few months. Hide and watch!

“”I am sure that Melania will keep her mouth shut. She gets his money, she got US citizenship. She won the lottery.””

That was a truly trashy thing you posted, very revealing about you though.

All one has to do is LOOK at Trump’s kids, he has raised absolutely superior kids in ALL aspects!! DeSantis kids are to young to know how they will grow into adults!! I don’t believe 90% of the BS thrown at Trump AND I NEVER e petted to elect a saint!! When deciding on Trump in 2016 I looked at his kids and what upstanding adults they became they made my decision!! Trump was an extremely busy man YET his kids and the blue collar workers on his construction sites were VERY IMPORTANT to him!! Trump was a HUGE real estate developer YET he ALWAYS found the time to spend time on the site with the workers, this is how he learned what the hell was important to the average hard working American!! His kids are VERY hard working adults with beautiful families!!

She is not out there campaigning, reports are that she won’t be campaigning with him this time around. She hasn’t said anything about this not that she needs to. But I don’t think any of my three points are wrong. If so, point out which one. Might be inconvenient, but she was bought, she’ll keep her mouth shut, she’ll keep her citizenship.
