Ron DeSantis is ending his 2024 Republican presidential campaign after failing to overtake Trump in polling or in the early vote

    The truth is he still thinks he can win, but his feet hurt so much from walking in heels all day, and he hasn’t felt the sweet sweet flavor of pudding on his fingers in what seems like forever.

      Good plan. I’m gonna go lurk for 5 minutes, and see how they’re holding up. Will report back momentarily.

      Edit: Okay, maybe 5 minutes was too long.

      • They are still caught somewhere in between glazing up DeSantis for his 2028 bid, and arguing over whether that makes sense because Trump will be running for the fourth time. You have to appreciate the irony of that subtle admission that he will either be ignoring term limits if he does win, or that he is going to lose but they still won’t be able to get rid of him.

      • Still coping with the fact that Nikki Haley has the audacity to run against Trump given that she is a deep state operative and also a woman.

      • Screaming that the sky is falling like chicken little in the middle of a meteor bombardment because the “radical left” is trying to hold Trump accountable for the crimes he committed even though most of them apparently don’t even like him anymore, and are tired of his temper tantrums.

        Yeah, first of all he’s been proven disloyal, and trump hates that. Plus he doesn’t bring much to the table. Trump already has Florida on lock and the only people who like DeSantis over trump are the never trumpers. Trump is going to pick an ass kisser who will never betray him who will also help him with a swing state.

    Bye loser.
    Nikki isn’t going to win either. I like that she is hitting Trump on his mental state and other problems, but she’ll never win the primary over Trump. It’s a cult.

      Half of her supporters said in one poll that they’d vote for Biden instead of Trump if she doesn’t win, I want her to hang in as long as she can!

    We don’t have a clear path to victory

    That this can possibly be true after coming second in the first and only contest goes to show how much of a farce the whole thing was from the start.

    Whomp whomp, now time for his little ass to run back home to Florida to continue to make our state worse, fuck DeSantis.

        Reminds me of the Psychlos from Battlefield Earth. Awkwardly walking slowly through every scene they are in because of the boots/stilts that were part of the costume.

          I never saw Battlefield Earth (and people tell me I’m better off for it) but I know what you mean.

          He reminded us of the Pucks from Carnival Row walking, but yeah. Those cowboy boot lifts . . . Streisand effect PLUS looking ridiculous, lol.

              Yeah, it was very slow to take off, hard to get a grasp of who was doing what to whom and why (which is important because later the plot hinges on your understanding more than on what is seen), and then the season ended abruptly.

              It’s much better if you can watch both seasons at once, because it does get MUCH faster and far more entertaining. It’ll never be a 10, but I thought Season 2 was a good 7.5 to 8, if you’re into that genre.

              Season 1 with no follow up was blah at best; I wasn’t even going to watch Season 2 but then I was sick one day and said what the hell, and it ended up being a great binge. Especially when you see a Puck walk and you’re like, oh shit, that’s Ron Desantis, lol.
