In attempt to reboot New Hampshire campaign, Ron DeSantis rolls out food drive
Florida Politics ^ | November 21, 2023 | A.G. Gancarski

Hungry Floridians won't benefit, but the Governor's 2024 campaign will.

While Floridians who are dealing with food insecurity this week may be on their own, it’s heartening to know Gov. Ron DeSantis is organizing a food drive.

That’s the good news.

The bad news for them is that it’s in another state.

“We are doing a big canned food drive today in New Hampshire. We’re going to be donating to the New Hampshire Food Bank. So I would just say Americans as they enjoy their Thanksgiving, there’s a lot of people that are struggling with this economy so we want to step up and do our part,” DeSantis said on Tuesday’s “Fox and Friends.”

Though Florida has been rocked by inflation that rivals anywhere in the country, DeSantis is strategically limiting his cost-of-living concerns to states where he needs votes more imminently. He has bemoaned spiraling prices in Iowa also.

“I’m going around and talking to voters across the country. I’ll have a family in Iowa tell me, you know, now they go and check out at the grocery store and it rings up so high, so quick they’ve got to take things out of their shopping cart,” DeSantis said in September on the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports.”

For the DeSantises, economic concerns are a family affair: First Lady Casey DeSantis has also talked about troubles in the economy, blaming “Bidenomics” for her need to buy her children’s “$2 t-shirts” at Walmart.

The Governor is spending Tuesday in the Granite State, where he will be the main attraction during a noon town hall event in Manchester, at the Executive Court Banquet Center, with Gov. Chris Sununu on hand. From there, his next stop will be a second town hall in Keene, a 6 p.m. start at Tempesta Restaurant.

Gov. DeSantis only has room to improve in New Hampshire generally, but his problems are especially acute in the Manchester metropolitan area, where he had just 2% support in a a recent survey from the University of New Hampshire.

He’s below 10% in recent polls of the state, including a drop to fifth place in the new Washington Post-Monmouth survey of New Hampshire GOP Primary voters. With 7% support, the Florida Governor finds himself behind Vivek Ramaswamy (8%), Chris Christie (11%), Nikki Haley (18%), and Donald Trump (46%).

I am beginning to question Ron’s intelligence. He had the 2028 election locked in if he just supported Trump in 2024, governed Florida, and organized for 2028. Maybe it isn’t intelligence. Maybe he is just an egotistical fool.

As the weather starts to get colder in NH it starts to wear on the has been primary candidates.

A few snowstorms may be enough for the DeSantis team to permanently migrate south for the winter.

I seldom pay attention to even off-the-wall remarks made by the spouses and other family members of candidates but this one made me say WTF-

“First Lady Casey DeSantis has also talked about troubles in the economy, blaming “Bidenomics” for her need to buy her children’s “$2 t-shirts” at Walmart.” That is a let-them-eat- cake remark worthy of the likes of Nancy Pelosi-I find it hard to believe that Casey De Santis would actually say that..

What a pandering lie that is. No way, no how is the Governors wife out buying $2 shirts at Walmart for the kids. This is one of those things that never happened.

Every waking moment the little GOPe runt prays that President Trump will be taken out by the Communist Democrats. What a sad little man.

It is just obvious BS-that is why I wonder if the remark was made up by some staffer or if she was clueless enough to have really said such a ridiculous thing...

I agree. Going up against Trump this year is just plain stupid. It shows terrible judgement.

blaming “Bidenomics” for her need to buy her children’s “$2 t-shirts” at Walmart.”

So, what happens to all the people who were already buying $2 T-Shirts at Wal-mart?

My wife sews, and buys the bulk of our clothes at Goodwill and Goodwill.com. We cannot cut back any more.

This is as idiotic as Biden's suggestion that we deal with inflation by buying the store brand of Froot Loops instead of the Kellogg's version. Lots of people were ALREADY buying "Malt-O-Meal Fruit Rings", what about them?

I KNOW how to get good prices on some items as an underemployed bachelor years ago. The level below "Malt-O-Meal Fruit Rings" is going to Dolar Tree, buying Pumpkin Spice Cheerios . . . in APRIL. My last deal was $1 at the 99 cent store for a full-sized Cap'n Crunch Birthday Crunch. I bought that because we were born in the same year.

This is a rural area, so there are no big boxes like Walmart within 30 miles-and it is a good thing. The $2 kids T-shirts and such are at the local Dollar General next to the hardware store and the general/grocery store.

More people are into fresh, organic food than those who eat even the generic boxed cereals-even more since the scamdemic-it is better-and cheaper since everyone sells/trades something from free-range eggs and home-grown veggies to goat milk/cheese, etc-but people in towns/cities don’t all have that option-most of us out here would probably go broke living in a city, given the high prices on everything with the bidenomics...
