Some of us thought that Dolt .45's 1989 Central Park 5 ads were unforgivable, especially after they were exonerated in 2002 and KKK Trump was too cowardly to retract and apologize. NBC never should have put The Apprentice on the air.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Thursday offered a blistering critique of Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign, saying the Florida Republican governor had the “personality of a dead frog” who will only fail with his efforts to “out-Trump Trump” by spewing “more hate and bigoted language.”
DeSantis’ “biggest problem” is that “in order to be a con-man, you have to have showmanship,” the former senator, now a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC, told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner.
But DeSantis is “no showman” and “doesn’t have the personality” to be one, she argued.
“He is awkward. Frankly, he has the personality of kind of a dead frog,” McCaskill continued. “It is really not a guy that is going to light up a room or light up a hall or light up a rally with his showmanship. “
DeSantis won’t take votes away from Trump, the ex-lawmaker continued. “The people that are with Trump now are not going anywhere. They are certainly not going to abandon him for somebody who is just kinda a wannabe of Donald Trump.”
Wagner responded with a tongue-in-cheek apology “to dead frogs everywhere.”
“It seems like what DeSantis cannot accomplish in terms of charm or wit or comedy or anything approaching warmth, he tries to make with cruelty and meanness,” Wagner pointed out.
“It’s like he’s overcompensating for a lack of personality and personable skills by just trying to be the meanest, most aggressive, shirtless warrior out there,” Wagner added. “To me, that seems like a bizarre calculation, because it does miss something that is central to Trump, which is as abhorrent as a lot of Trump’s policies may be, and much as he is a huckster, he’s also a very talented and magnetic campaigner.”

... it seems like the more people hear from Governor Ron DeSantis, the less they like him.
That was certainly me, and I think maybe billy.p. DeSantis was a right-winger congresscritter, but not publicly outrageous, and when he started as governor he looked (for about a minute) like he was going to be as decent as you could expect from a Repug. Then off the rails he went.

... Also on Tuesday, a Rolling Stone report, citing multiple sources, said Fox owner Rupert Murdoch, his son Lachlan Murdoch and top Fox executives, who initially supported DeSantis, have “grown increasingly displeased” with his campaign’s “perceived stumbles, lackluster polling, and inability to swiftly dethrone Trump.”
“They are transactional and can smell a loser a mile away,” one Fox insider told the magazine.

"‘I’m Not a No. 2 Guy’: DeSantis Says He Wouldn’t Run as Trump’s Vice President
“I’m not a No. 2 guy,” Mr. DeSantis said in response to a question during an appearance on the Wisconsin Right Now podcast. “I think I’m a leader. Governor of Florida, I’ve been able to accomplish a lot. I think I probably could do more staying there than being V.P., which doesn’t really have any authority.”

Maybe he's not as stupid as we think.
I beg to differ with Fascist DerSantis and you. He reeks of "No. 2", and he's stupid to choose phrasing that reminds us.

The DeSpicable, DeRanged and DeLuded Ron DeSatan wants to turn the rest of the country into... FLORIDA. As it turns out, vast majorities of humans really DON'T want their wombs, their love lives, their children, their reading material and/or their most-beloved corporations flattened under his trigger-happy thumb. Enjoy watching some of your favorite Disney characters telling this Eager MisLeader how they REALLY feel about his presidential run!

“'He and his team are uninjured,” Griffin added, saying Team DeSantis appreciates “the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his continued protection while on the campaign trail.”
WESH noted one female staffer had minor injuries."
When questioned ronnie said that girl staffers aren't considered as team members.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
I'm going to have to make my prayers more specific.
My immediate thought:
Am I missing something here? Why are Florida taxpayer money and government vehicles being used for his presidential campaigning?
Because after Ron exempted himself from Resign to Run, he also exempted himself from Sunshine Law inquiries regarding any and all State of Florida expenditures having anything to do with Ron.
Is Ron looting Florida’s treasury to replace the SUVs his crashing campaign crashed?
We’ll never know, at least not until Florida’s next Democrat governor releases all of Florida’s Ron related expenditures.
CPD says traffic slowed down, causing four of the cars in the DeSantis motorcade to hit each other....
Rhonda’s crashing campaign literally crashed into itself.
They can’t even drive correctly.
LOL @ The Stupid Ron Campaign. Apparently it’s not JUST Ron that’s the problem
Trump grabbed the wheel and demanded to be driven to the Capitol.
Is the car ok?
It’s hard to drive wearing those white boots. They slip right off the brake pedal, don’t ya know.
... “Following a top-to-bottom review of our organization, we have taken additional, aggressive steps to streamline operations and put Ron DeSantis in the strongest position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden,” Campaign Manager Generra Peck said in a statement Tuesday.
We destroyed the village in order to save it.
Even his campaign slogan is derivative and uninspired:
... “Governor DeSantis is going to lead the Great American Comeback and we’re ready to hit the ground running as we head into an important month of the campaign,” Peck said Tuesday.
DerSantis is going to MAGA?
How can we expect him to manage the country's budget when he can't even manage his campaign's budget effectively. If you are doing extreme cost cutting while the campaign is "ramping up", it means you weren't paying attention.
He should start by firing himself.
His campaign popularity doesn't extend past the Florida state line in any direction.
He can do that slavery thing that he's all for
The laid off staff was not the problem. The man does not have much charisma. He should probably try being a little more compassionate. The whole cultural war thing is not helping either. People want someone who can unite folks, not divide them.
I want someone with real economic policy. I don’t want someone that is full if hate and bigotry. I don’t want culture wars because it has no real impact on me.
I will support Barbie if Benedict Donald or Ron DeSatan is the other choice

Idk how accurate, but Florida has always claimed to have the strictest Government Sunshine laws.
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore"
"In January 2021, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed 21 ethics commission orders that imposed penalties against Florida officials.
That was two and half years ago, and records show it is the last time DeSantis made a decision on an ethics case."
"But Baugh, Jurado and all the others on the list will not have to deal with the penalties until DeSantis signs their orders."
"but so far questions about why he has not signed an order since January 28, 2021 have not been answered.
Ben Wilcox, co-founder of the government watchdog group Integrity Florida said the indecision impacts accountability for breaking state ethics laws.
“I think that is the message, you don’t have to worry about breaking the ethics laws because nothing is going to happen to me if I do,” Wilcox said. “I think there’s a lack of accountability on people who break our ethics laws.”
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
I wondered.
