Did that Jeff Roe guy get replaced by a 14 year old?

as a Florida native and resident I am getting tired of DeSantis making a fool out of himself over and over. thought at one time he would be a good man for President but now I’m seeing that he really isn’t as good of a man as he appeared to be. sad.

Looks like his special, version of the Russia Collusion crap.

OK - who here still supports Ronnie?

C’mon, Man! We know you’re out there...

I remember back in the mid-Nineties I was looking for a new car, and was going to look at buying an American car. So I ended up looking at Saturns, which I found conceptually attractive. Liked their showroom attitude (they didn’t fully engage me with a salesman until I engaged them) the way they marketed their cars, and the cars themselves.

But I was also looking at buying a Ford, mainly Torinos, and went to a Ford dealership. So, as soon as I entered the showroom, there was a salesman on me like white on rice. Okay. I was shopping and wanted to do some comparisons, so this was acceptable to me.

In the opening sentence, I said I was looking at features to compare to other manufacturers whose products I was also considering. He asked what other brands, and I said Saturn.

He immediately started berating the Saturn product in a very strident way. Every time I tried to steer him back to talk about a Ford Torino model, he would go right back to disparaging the Saturn brand.

If he had said “Ford offers X, and Saturn doesn’t” or “The Torino has this feature, and it is better than the Saturn implementation because...” I would have been fine.

But it was along the line of “Saturn doesn’t know how to build cars. Their engines are this bad. The finish on the cars is inferior...” etc.

I walked out.

If you have a product, you should sell it. There is nothing inherently bad with disparaging a competitor, but when that is your main selling point, or even your only selling point, then I suspect your product.

And so it is with DeSantis. The only thing he seems to project is disparagement of Trump.

It is absolutely true that Trump disparages his opponents as well, but that is a byline, or even a form of personal entertainment for him to ply his supporters with, not the majority (or even ALL) of the planks that make up his platform.

I think it is a bad move by the DeSantis campaign, IMO.

No doubt he has plenty of things he could feature to sell his campaign, but since he sees the customers largely are not buying, he is resorting to things like this faux campaign against a prospective Trump-Haley ticket. It doesn’t even have the overtone of possibility (I don’t see Trump doing this in any form) so it reeks more of desperation.

Very generous of Ron to campaign and build websites for not only ONE, but TWO of his competitors.
