"When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The Palace becomes a circus".

[allowmi]

Let Ronnie sink the ship. Too many on the right deny reality as it is.

[brendanmontgomery]

Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake...

[greymatter]

I live in Florida and this is the 1st time I've seen DeSantis do something useful for society... Give his party terrible advice. Keep it up, leatherface Ronnie!

[MrGevander]

Playing to that one segment of his base will please them... but it could cost him other votes.

[bernardwylie]

Ron DeSantis talks like a man who thinks that just because he “rejects something out of hand” means it can’t be true. It’s the overinflated sense of importance that gets me.

[John_Lyle]

Stop helping them Rachel.
Let them keep screwing up.

[Angelsbobbi]

Thank you Rachel Maddow for keeping it real (as always)!

[lornapowell]

As long as he doesn't fix it, it will continue to drive voters away 🤞

[willgibson]

Let the man talk. He’ll keep digging the GOP’s grave.

[notiskoundouris]

I have rarely seen an uncharismatic person such as he.

[beegee]

DeSantis is not only a terrible person, he is also a terrible politician.

[Zaddy-Lu]

"I reject the idea that I could ever be wrong about anything"

[domrossetti]

If someone from the GOP didn't lie about most things now that would be big news.

[darrylsheffield]

He backed off his "Woke" politics that only worked in Florida to his radical Pro life stand that won't play well in the rest of the country😅😅

[TheSuzberry]

And smoking doesn’t cause cancer. And speeding isn’t dangerous. And sunburn doesn’t lead to melanoma. So many things we are wrong about.

[VanIyke]

DeSantis charisma burns out lightbulbs.

[loretoantoniosarracini]

No worries Ronnie - the vast majority reject YOU!

[NieroshaiTheSable]

If you court the evangelical vote, being an ideologue is mandatory.

[ruthiestockdale]

DeSantis is a legend in his own mind. Wannabe tough guy. He's just a jerk.
