"Real Time" host Bill Maher grilled Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his uphill battle to defeat former President Trump in the GOP primary.
"You did not take my advice," Maher began the exchange on Friday. "I was on the show- a few times we talked- I said, 'this guy's crazy to run this time. He's- what are you, 45 years old? You just had a birthday, right?"
"Yeah," DeSantis said.
"You could run for the next 20 years. If you were Biden, the next 40," Maher quipped. "Why run against Trump? You're trying to thread this needle that will never happen. You can't disavow him because that's the base, and yet you're running against him. And that's why, I mean, let's face it Ron, if the campaign was going well, you wouldn't be on this show."
"Oh that's not true," DeSantis reacted. "One: I don't think he can win the election. I could win the election. Two: I don't think he could actually get the job done that we need to do, For example, COVID. I think we need accountability for what this government did to this country with the COVID restrictions mandates and lockdowns. Donald Trump is not gonna do that… He's not going to clean house at CDC, NIH, FDA. I will do that. I will get the job done."
DeSantis continued, "The one thing about me in Florida, and even my critics will acknowledge- if he says he's going to do something, he will follow through and get the job done. So it's about the country. Are we gonna get the country turned around or not? I don't think he's a vehicle that's doing and I have been..

"Yeah, yeah," DeSantis quickly responded.
please clap
ha!
Wasn’t he just arrested for live streaming looting in philadelphia? Out on bail already?
He can go on “The View” next.
We’ll see how many percentage points DeSantis sacrificed by going on the Maher Clown Show.
What a nice thing to say to a sitting governor who comes on your TV show.
Prove it was a clean election.
Carville was recently on that show. Hmmmmm
“...I don’t think he could actually get the job done that we need to do, For example, COVID. ...” The Gov is wrong, very wrong!!!
#1 - Trump has already proven he can get the job done. He has the best track record of any POTUS in recent history.
#2 - In a list of the most important things to be done by the next POTUS, Covid is near the bottom or maybe not even o the list. Today the mortality rate for Covid is lower than flu. Treatment is now almost sure.
The View hosts might admire my governor’s choice in footwear. Are those platform boots to make him look taller? Is he performing this interview at Dick Cheney’s ranch in Jackson Hole Wyoming, and herding cattle?
Well, it says something about a person who would go on that show.
Maher is a loon and DeSantis should have taken that into consideration before going on a show that will do him absolutely no good.
“If things were going well, ‘you wouldn’t be on this show’”
Lol great line! Almost as good as the “it’s the economy stupid” by whatshisname
A dismissive “Yeah yeah” is his answer. He doesn’t want to be definitive on this because it’s killing him with the majority of voters. Just a hand wave and moving on. He is another milquetoast politician.
Lockdowns, big pharma blank checks, DACA amnesty, bump stock ban, unvetted Syrians and groomers and trump made them perpetual with his Marxist mail in ballots. He is nothing but a globalist puppet who put the final nail in the coffin of freedom. McCarthy approved.
Not a single “republican would have worn a mask if Obama had pushed it. everyone knows this true.
Even Maher is astute enough to know that the chips must be really down for him to feel as though he has to appear on his show to appeal to more people, almost all of whom are democrats.
Not only do they understand it, they are cooperating with the process.
I believe Trump leads Sniffer, because, the American people think they made a mistake with Sniffer. And, yes, I believe the election was stolen for Sniffer.
Rude
“”Oh that’s not true,” DeSantis reacted. “One: I don’t think he can win the election. I could win the election”
Delusional.
