He Is the Egg Man: Ron DeSantis Campaigns for President at the Iowa State Fair by Focusing on Shoving Sticks in Hardboiled Eggs Instead of Talking to Voters (Video)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 13, 2023 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 08/13/2023 8:58:06 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Video posted Semafor reporter Shelby Talcott shows Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Saturday campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination by shoving sticks in hardboiled eggs at the Iowa State Fair.

The video shows DeSantis more engaged in how to prepare the eggs than engaging with voters coming up to take the eggs. In turn, the voters don’t seem that interested in DeSantis. Granted, it is a thirty-three second video, however no one engages DeSantis in campaign talk, with one person calling out, “We’re just here for the eggs!” One woman who said, “Thank you!” to DeSantis was given only a glancing smile in return as DeSantis stayed focused on preparing the eggs. Another woman who said “Thank you!” barely got a look in her direction from DeSantis.

....Snip.....

The Washington Post’s Joyce Koh, “Trump already overshadowing DeSantis at the Iowa state fair, as the crowd turns away from DeSantis event to watch Trump’s plane encircle overhead”

.... Snip....

TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks reported earlier Saturday on Trump supporters who showed up at DeSantis’s stops at the fair and a plane that flew overhead with the message, “Be Likeable, Ron!”

We’ve got eggs on sticks
And you’ve got ventriloquists

he should spend his time doing more important things, like Trump - you know, like coming up with catchy nicknames for people on his enemy list.

He’s a short man with a dull personality. Not a good combination for a presidential candidate.

Problem is, Ron can’t get people to want to vote for him. How do you think he can win a POTUS election? Sticking sticks in eggs? Although if Biden just stuck to this idea, we would be better off.

He is actually a slight bit more likeable than McCain.

He sure blew the election, and, yes, they cheated.
A few observations:Showing idiocy you had to contradict yourself.
his boastful, infantile, frankly silly side makes it easy for our enemies (such as Dems and the State media) to defeat him.
So why did they have to cheat?

BTW, who is "the state media"?

This is trash news from GP Trump-only partisans who are unable to scout-out news bearing on the issues most affecting Americans.

“I really can’t get behind these silly criticisms. I am leaning Trump in the primary”

ditto (except i’m a MAJOR Trump supporter) ... of course, if desantis paid attention to the crowd and not to cooking the eggs well and burnt them, then he would have been criticized for that too ... probably more embarrassing to burn the eggs, though ...

“without Trump swooping in at the last minute he would have lost in 2018 to a corrupt drug addict.”

...and ‘corrupt drug addict’ isnt all...

DeSantis appears to be biding his time.

With over 600 charges against DJT, that’s all he needs to do.

Yeah it would have been “look at that idiot, no respect for the vendor, what fool can’t make eggs properly. . .”

Criticize him on the issues, and Trump as well, but this kind of criticism is harmful to the nation and the party and conservatives, IMO. I hope DeSantis, and Trump, and others, have long and distinguished careers in politics. They do a great deal of good and I am grateful for both of them.

Trump has the edge for me, though. . .he did 94% spectacular as president (6 points off for some of the Covid handling and for the naivete surrounding the homosexual agenda), and he was robbed, and he is so clearly being judicially persecuted that I feel like we need to see him overcome, or become even more a banana republic.

Don’t count on it. People don’t take kindly to DeSantis. If they did, he would be ahead, But he isn’t.

Biding is time thinking he can automatically be frontrunner is kind of stupid.

Half the GOP, or more, talks like a serially abused spouse.

Always keep in mind there is an abuser and the abused.
You seem focused on the abused rather than the abuser.

Trump has a better shot at winning the R primary... Maybe.

This is where any credibility you had left is shredded.

Delusional isn't pretty.

'idiot,' 'shredded credibility,' 'delusional...'

Silly, insulting name-calling is now de rigeur on Free Republic. It doesn't win arguments or elections.

I see "giving Trump another try" as a very risky proposition, that's all.

I like Trump but we have to win an election, not let our loyalty blind us to his faults and the inherent risks of running a, to borrow one of Trump's over-used expressions...

Wait for it...

Loser.

Also:

DeSantis isn’t “under the gun” by Iranians.

He can bide his time.
