Of late, DeSantis has been struggling to keep his name in the headlines and his once promising candidacy has become as menacing as a three-legged kitten - it's not going to hurt anyone and you kind of feel bad for it.
That was until DeSantis started flopping across stages wearing plus-sized clown shoes like a loser in a Sideshow Bob lookalike contest.
Now, I can't look away every time he unpresidentially waddles up to an event resembling a toddler playing dress up in daddy's oxfords.

Ol' Tiny D with the sticky pudding fingers has traded his impressive track record for book bans and squandered his momentum with a botched campaign rollout on Twitter and debate performances so underwhelming an Eminem impersonator in an Elvis weave has stolen his mojo.
Platform boots are not the disqualifier (they worked wonders for Gene Simmons) - but they are a painful reminder that Meatball Ron didn't turn out to be the savior that so many hankered for Don-lite.
They wanted a man less obsessed with his critics and less toxic to a general electorate, who could rescue the republic from a declining old huckster of a president.
Instead, they're left with a mockable shell who's become a target for all-too-easy Trumpian nicknames and fish-in-a-barrel hit pieces that land damaging blows with absurd ease.
If Governor DeSanctis had internalized his early stumbles and turned them into strengths as his intelligence and past success had suggested he could, then he'd be using those floppy boots to kick his opponents' behinds.
Too bad he's become a parody of himself preening around on his tippy toes trying to catch a glimpse of the last light of his once great potential.

I’m not a fan and see him as stabbing Trump in the back instead of joining in and supporting the effort to educate America about the stolen election. And I don’t like that he met with Garland before the raid on Mar-A-Lago.
But whether or not he has a lift in his boots or not is utterly childish.
From Hero to Zero. If he had simply waited 4 years we would have won.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
Like there aren’t any real problems in this country to address that we need to focus on someone’s boots?
What a pathetic state this country has fallen to. I can’t imagine the Founding Fathers getting so bent out of shape over something this inconsequential.
At least the Brits still know how to write good headlines...
Love Trump, but at his age, I doubt his hair color is genuine. And Biden’s hair is fake. Hell he was bald in the 90s.
I’m all in for Trump, but this is retarded.
Exactly.
Is that MTV and FNC’s “KENNEDY”? Or just another drunken British hack?
Some things you can get away with on TV or radio just fall flat on the printed page.
Dittos
MTV Kennedy.
Most of our Presidents were pretty tall, including Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln - all over 6 feet.
Little Guy is just trying to keep up.
However, it is important to note that DeSantis was only in this race to begin with because he was hoping that Trump would get hauled off to jail, leaving him as the inevitable second choice for the nomination.
This makes him a shameless opportunist in my opinion.
I will never vote for him now.
“I will never vote for him now.”
You were never going to vote for him.
I don't think so.
Too many grade school children for America to survive. Freaking tens of millions of baby brains!
Well if he had supported Trump this go-around and bided his time for 2024, I might well have supported him then.
OK, four inch stilettos. I tend to exaggerate.
