And Ron DeSantis whispered in my ear, “I am the ‘hole”
The GOP basically hates the people who vote for the GOP.
Seems to fit, considering the following:
“Ain’t That a Peach, Ron DeSantis Holds Private Meeting with Brian Kemp in Georgia”

We are personally not interested in a "durable" movement.
The Democrat Party is a "durable movement."
The RINOs have proved a "durable movement." Too damn durable.
“Apparently, DeSantis doesn’t know the first rule of Holes”
Sounds to me that he has NO CLUE as to what he’s doing. He had a CLEAR #2 position, but I guess he had no clue as to who the Republican base was and what they wanted. So he listed to the big donors and that effectively ended him in national politics, at least as a Republican.
“Looks like Ron DeSanctimonious just had his ‘Basket of Deplorables moment,”
DeSantis is getting desperate now attacking Trump supporters as mindless people caught up in a cult of personality. No Ron it’s because voters see you for what you are - an establishment hack.
Pissing off potential swing voters.
Some of them even post a lot on Free Republic.
He thinks he’ll “get me back”. No Ron you never had me. Stay in Florida
It doesn’t matter what DeSantis says at this point, he’s done. Put a fork in him.
I’m ashamed of myself for thinking this guy was BRIGHT.
He’s dumber than dirt.
I just want to look one more time to see if this is Babylon Bee.
If it is...I apologize.
Good Heavens! Doesn’t he know the first rule against criticizing the “Great I Am” about anything? That’s SACRILEGE!
He now realizes he has no chance so has gone into Krispy Kreme mode where he just attacks Trump for elitist $$$.
Typical Trumpist distortion.
DeSantis has no chance of ever winning the presidency if he can’t win over the Trump supporters.
I had hoped to see Trump win in 2024 and then vote for DeSantis in 2028.
He has blown his chances. It’s okay to go hard against Trump, because that’s the way the game is played. But to alienate Trump’s core voters is simply stupid.
I can’t help but believe that the rest of the field knows Trump is going to win the nomination by a mile, but are willing to do whatever it takes to are sure he loses in the general election. Their loyalty to the GOP and their corporate donors far outweighs any loyalty they have to us.
A movement can’t be about the personality of one individual.’????
The tea party grew out one man’s personality(Barack) who was an affront
But, you want us to follow you?
Got
It...
I’m glad he’s fighting back. Trump has been calling him all kinds of offensive names…and so have Trump’s supporters here…even before he started running, because Trump was afraid he’d be a rival.
Trump benefitted from the indictments because everybody felt they had to support him…and we all do have to support him. DeSantis said just a couple of days ago that these indictments are just political persecution.
But Trump…pro-vax, pro-lockdown, pro-government bailouts…needs to explain a few things and needs to give people policy reasons to vote for him.
He’s being contemptuous of the voters if he just thinks he deserves it. Nobody “deserves” my vote. I voted for him twice before and I do think he won in 2020 and I think he needs to keep pursuing that.
But that’s a separate matter, and if he wants to be President again, he’s got to give us reasons for voting for him other than simply that he’s Trump.
Ever since the first Obama election, the parties have been selling personalities and not policy. While I think Biden did not win, way too many people did vote for him…a man who didn’t even campaign….because the Dems sold his image as a warm fuzzy grandpa (nothing could be further from the truth, of course). I want to hear policy and specifics from all the candidates, Trump included.
I prefer being a “basket of deplorables”
I don’t understand politicians calling voters names. Sure, attack your opposition but don’t attack the voters, you may want them on your side.
That’s a very interesting tactic to lure Trump supporters into DeSantis’ camp. I guess that happens when you never had a job in the private sector. Working for government your entire life warps your decision making.
