When your position is “my opponent is so good, he might run for president”, you’ve already lost

[ericsen]

Florida you're lucky to have Ron De Santis. He's awesome.

[sgtmac]

Charlie Crist knew it was over at that moment.

[MSUdon]

If “fuck around and find out” was a person, DeSantis is it with this.

Crist is one to talk about commitment- Crist barely served his first term - halfway through his first (and only term), he spent his time lobbying to be McCain’s VP…when that didn’t work, he set his sights on the senate and when he couldn’t even win his own party’s primary, he switched to independent and when that didn’t work, he became a democrat and now that he can’t keep his seat, he wants his old job back.

If people vote for Crist, you deserve whatever happens - the only way he’ll make housing affordable is by wrecking the economy and driving people out.

I didn’t hear DeSantis utter one word about race or gender - all he talked about was us all being Floridians - Crist wanted to make everything about race and gender - he gets a question about the economy or immigration, he wants to talk about abortion.

Even if DeSantis runs for president - so what? Does Crist really think that people who don’t support him will take 4 years of him because they can only get 2 years of DeSantis? So stupid

Charlie is going to get beaten so badly...

[KDTC]

Play with the best, pay like the rest.

LMFAO that was the most priceless comeback in debate history right next to Donald Trump calling out Rosie O'Donnell when he ran for president!! ☺🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's ridiculous that WPEC didn't kick out all those cackling women. Very unprofessional.

[MyFLHRCi]

The greatest debate comeback since Donald Trump called out Rosie O'Donnell!! And Charlie Crist was definitely channeling Jeb Bush with that weak rebuttal...

[CarieSaad]

#FloridaForDeSantis! #VoteRed! #TrumpDeSantis2024

Crist is the perfect example of a professional politician. He changes with the wind.

[brystonhickman]

Democrats taking the old guard Republican stance of “cmon guys, let’s at least be nice” is a good sign, since the republicans of old used to get demolished using that strategy.

[hrbllc]

If you can’t take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen old man!

[jolus]

Florida's population is overwhelmingly "old worn out donkeys" so I don't understand why Ron would turn to ageism.

[Phil_Langone_FilmArt]

Imagine going through life thinking a little, petty half man like De Santis is tough. ROFL. Actual tough men don't bully teen agers or whine about the media...or pretty much everything. "Speak softly and carry a big stick" used to be a proud American traight. Sad where this country is ending up.
