Half of the viewers were Democrats making the reminder an average Hannity audience.

Here’s hoping Hannity will score even higher ratings next Tuesday when he holds a Town Hall with President Trump in Davenport Iowa!!!

I’m surprised the ratings were so high.

None of the three main people involved would be likely to ever utter anything that would make any difference in anyone’s lives, (outside of their own or that of their immediate family).

Well, I suppose if they Dump Biden and Harris, and don’t get Moochie 0bama to run, the Democrats could steal the election for Newsome, and then the stuff he says might become dangerous to us peasants.

I watched it. It was glorious.

DeSantis torpedoed Gavin and exposed him as a sleazy Trudeau wannabe. Gavin was caught off guard, forgetting that DeSantis was an attorney in the military, and is a talented litigator.

First Hannity lured Gavin in when Gavin made a joke about Hannity wearing a tie. Hannity then laughed in a giddy way. Then throughout the debate he helped DeSantis by posting stats that demonstrated how Gavin was lying and obfuscating facts repeatedly. Gavin kept trying to talk over RDS while weaving and smirking derisively as DeSantis pounded him with stat after stat.

RDS held out the famous SF feces location map, and mentioned how S.F. eradicated the thousands of insane and homeless street people to impress Xi, but not the people who live and work there, with Chinese, not American flags draped everywhere.

Per Covid: A increasingly flustered Gavin first accuses RDS of locking down FL, and in the same sentence, accuses DeSantis of killing Floridians by not locking down! Lol.

Don’t believe me? Watch it for yourselves. Draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, with DeSantis down in the polls it’s looking like the Republicans will have to wait 2028 to take back the White House.

Most people don’t care what you gaslighting desantis supporting nevertrumpers say....

It’s your lies and attacks on Trump and pushing of desantis that has turned off any support desanctimonious would have had for another office in the future...

you all have basically helped desanctus end his political career.

You cared enough to respond. I didn’t even mention Trump. He wasn’t in the debate, or in any debate this year for that matter…not that there’s anything wrong with that.

All your blusterous accusations are nothing but projection. You make Jamie Raskin look like a novice.

You Only-Trump cultists calling the best Governor in the USA “Meatball” and “Desanctimonious” can’t be taken seriously. Most people are amazed that you and your messiah can even pronounce “Desanctimonious” since it has more than three syllables.

When do we start seeing/hearing Team Trump using Newsom’s debate responses as talking points? He likes those DNC talking points and I’m sure they think of Newsom as a deep thinker to be quoted.

Relax, have a Bud Light and watch some Disney, they’re Team Trump approved! And you can stop fretting, Trump isn’t going to burst your fragile bubble by debating Desantis, because he knows he’ll have his ass handed to him.
