Dude picked a fight with Mickey Mouse and is losing. HOW ON EARTH does anyone expect him to be able to deal with China??? But if he wants to keep wasting GOP donors' money telling us how unfit he is, I say Go for it!

“Make America Florida” has to be in the top 3 worst slogans of all time.

[SpaceForceCommander]

If Florida is where “woke” goes to die, then DeSantis’ campaign is where his presidential aspirations goes to die, and DeSantis is where charisma goes to die.

desantis denies a drink of water to floridians outside in long voting lines. abbott denies a drink of water to texans outside working their jobs. no real american man would use the power of the government to do such a thing.

[Seaneey]

Just admitting Trump lost is like pulling teeth

[Criminal.Lawyer.]

Calling people woke because they are smart, articulate, aware, and have empathy reminds of when the dumb kids in school would call the smart kids nerds for getting good grades. I am proud to be woke.

DeSantis' campaign is a complete disaster. It's hard to overstate how bad this has been.

[morrisphillips]

Why can't they just say Trump lost, and move on? ❤

[GilB]

As a Floridian, I loath how DeSantis has made Florida, Florida. Making America his Florida? No thank you! Hopefully, voters here will wake up soon... maybe even get WOKE! Lol.

"Only I will decide what's best for you and your family. Only I will decide what rights you have or don't have."

When asked a tough question, Ron DeSaster goes into Bobble-Head mode.

[rqrs]

I don't want a guy who ran his state into the ground, running my country into the dirt

[verilyheld]

I wonder if it will ever realise how innately stunted it is.
It wants to hurt others to compensate for the inadequacies it fears it has.
That said, it still needs breaking for its conduct.
Whatever reasons bullies have to bully, they still are bullies.

[Redridge]

1:09 What? Trump had the Post Master General removed mailboxes, in strategic areas" to slow down mail-in voting.

[americansagainsttrump]

THERE IS NOT ONE REPUBLICAN I WOULD EVER VOTE FOR...EVER. VOTE BLUE NATIONWIDE 2024.

[sams]

He’s a embarrassing, narcissistic, bully and the ultimate tyrant! Stop this man

[sweet_t]

I looked at the polls today & Desantis is nose diving so fast...I'm here for the crash.
(I do genuinely feel bad for the residents of Florida that did not vote for him.)

[ginapsaki]

Hats off to the reporter who didn't let DeSantis off the hook for his weasel words. That has to be the question EVERY reporter asks EVERY candidate, and holds feet to the fire until an unequivocal answer is given. (DeSantis's answer still wasn't unequivocal, because he is a craven poltroon)

[Avedis-G]

Bobblehead Ron can’t say yes or no. Absolutely incapable of answering a question directly. That’s not gonna fly.

[junanougues]

He supervised torture sessions as a lawyer!! What more does anyone need to know?
