Tracing the power of Casey DeSantis
Washington Post ^ | June 18, 2023 | Ruby Cramer

Posted on 06/19/2023 11:44:31 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

As Ron DeSantis pursues the presidency, his wife’s role is limitless. Casey, 42, isn’t a typical political spouse. Why does that inspire so much fear? Her rise in TV and insular marriage tell the story.

“Where is she at?”

Ron was always asking.

Ron DeSantis was in the middle of a picnic in Sioux Center, Iowa, bent over a homemade poster. Four photos, arranged in a neat grid, stared back at him: Ron and Casey, smiling on election night, 2022; Ron and Casey, smiling outside the governor’s mansion, 2021; a headshot of Ron; a headshot of Casey. The governor signed his name in the corner, leaving room for his wife’s signature. He was the one running for president, but of course she should sign it, too. “I don’t know where the first lady is, but she’ll do it,” he said.

She knew the staff he should hire, former aides said, the invitations he should accept and the invitations he should decline. She knew his walking path at events, the people he’d stand next to on a stage. She knew his schedule, down to every meeting and call and fundraiser and congressional vote, because she asked to be copied on every calendar entry. She knew the cowboy boots he should wear, even though, at first, he complained that they hurt his feet, until a staffer suggested he buy dress shoes instead, at which point he said, “Casey got them for me,” and that was the end of the conversation about the cowboy boots. She knew the earpiece he should use for live interviews, because she had spent 15 years in television, even though, at first, the earpiece was uncomfortable in his ear, at which point an aide said, “Casey got this for you,” and that was the end of the conversation about the earpiece.

DeSantis is Whipped!

Another woman who thinks she hold power because her husband won an election. Run all by yourself sweetie if you think you should be hiring staff and chiming in.

Reminds me of military wives who think they wear their husband’s rank.

The media is obsessed with the candidates’ wives. I guess it’s not new though. It goes back to Martha Washington.

And I knew this response was coming from a DeSanctimonious Supporter.

Nothing, and I mean Nothing negative, from the perspective of Online DeSantis Influencers, whether factual or not, can be posted concerning DeSanctimonious.

Yes. But the article is from the WaPo. The Trumpers are finding common cause with the liberals.

Aligned with Bezos and the liberal machine.

For both the pro-Trump side and the pro-DeSantis side, an accounting is coming. The behavior on both sides is absolutely despicable.

The only value of the Never Trumpers and the Only Trumpers is in popcorn consumption.

Can’t wait to see where we all will stand in November 2024. That’s when the receipts — for both sides — come due.

Sad but true. She is an admirable woman in her own right.

Puffery from the Amazon Post.

Although any puffery to Ron is left-handed just like compliments sometimes are.

It is a fact professional politicians often marry up.

“Reminds me of military wives who think they wear their husband’s rank.”

Right! Those women!! My ex was in the Air Force for four years. I went to a few get-togethers of the wives and quickly learned that their self value was entirely due to their husband’s rank. That’s ALL they referred to and talked about.

I never went back, and never socialized with them again. We lived off base, and I wouldn’t even shop at the BX. (I still don’t know what my ex’s rank was. Some kind of Sgt., I think.)

The RATs call her Walmart Melania. They aren’t nice to either one of them.

“’Where is she at?’ Ron was always asking.”

PLEASE tell me he didn’t say that. Horrid, dreadful grammar, especially from an attorney.

Remember what Rush stated, those that try to stay in the middle of the road get run-over.

ROTFLMAO!

You have posted everyday anti-DeSantis articles.

That assumes that Ron is on our side.

If you are MAGA, he isn’t.

He is literally MAGA-Lite.

He is correct on his Moral Policy Positions, but where Foreign Policy is concerned on items like China and the Ukraine, he is all Globalist and GOP-E.

Funny how WaPo publishes this crap, while totally ignoring that the CURRENT president has a ruthlessly ambitious wife who would put Mrs. Wilson to shame. And like Wilson, Biden is also using the Espionage Act to target his political enemies.
