I love Ron DeSantis!

Trump is the best candidate because he brings out the "REEEEE!" in both sides. RFK is cut from the same cloth.

REEEEE is important to you is it.

It really is. I could think of no better ticket than Trump/RFK. The people who hate them should be forced to be ruled by them.

[Frood]

It's a good combo but I wouldn't want RFK to ever be president.

Neither would I but I bet he would be way better than the average POTUS.

Trump's campaign has claimed that Fox News' billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch has soured on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The press release comes after news that the DeSantis campaign has cut roughly a third of its staff—or 38 people—as part of a "reset" aimed at getting the Republican's presidential bid back on track.

DeSantis has ruled out Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a potential running mate, although he would consider the Democratic presidential hopeful for a health position in his administration if elected president.

The wheels are really falling off DeSantis' campaign. A New Yoork Times/Siena poll has him thirty seven points behind Trump. Trump has fifty four percent and DeSantis has seventeen percent of Republican voters.

Fuck DeSantis.... RFK Jr has more spine and integrity. I hope Trump puts him on the ticket or in charge of cleaning up the health agencies deep swamp...

I like the moxie of Governor Desantis.

Ron DeSantis issued Vice President Kamala Harris a direct challenge on Monday over the narrative that she has perpetuated about Florida's African-American history curriculum.

Last month, Harris seized on Florida's new curriculum standards, claiming state officials want to "gaslight" students by teaching them "that enslaved people benefited from slavery." The curriculum, of course, does not teach that.

Rather, one specific standard says teachers should examine "the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation)." The added "benchmark clarification" explains that "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."

Harris' claims set off a firestorm against DeSantis, which has included being attacked by fellow Republicans who also criticized the curriculum.

What is DeSantis doing now?
On Monday, DeSantis invited Harris to Tallahassee to discuss the standards with prominent scholar Dr. William Allen, a former chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights who helped craft the standards.

Allen is a descendant of slaves and has defended the standards vigorously.

"It's past time to set the record straight," DeSantis wrote in a letter. "In Florida we are unafraid to have an open and honest dialogue about the issues. And you clearly have no trouble ducking down to Florida on short notice.

"So given your grave concern (which, I must assume, is sincere) about what you think our standards say, I am officially inviting you back down to Florida to discuss our African American History standards. We will be happy to host you here in Tallahassee," he continued. "I will ask Dr. William Allen — instrumental in the development of our impressive new standards — to join. We welcome you, of course, to bring Randi Weingarten or someone else who shares your view about the standards."

DeSantis said he is prepared to meet as early as Wednesday. Harris is actually speaking in Orlando on Tuesday, so meeting would not be logistically difficult. She is traveling to Wisconsin on Thursday.

Indeed, a short turnaround time is not difficult for Harris because, according to CNN, Harris' team "quickly arranged" the trip to Florida, where she launched her attack against DeSantis and the new curriculum.

I will fucking laugh if Ramaswamy edges DeSantis out for second place.

No idea why people are so excited about that plasticine prick DeSantis....

He's literally running with Deep State support.

Hell fucking no... just no.

In a word? "Syphillis".

Hell fucking no... just no.

He has a record of success.

[Adolf Oliver Bush]

And a deficit of 35 percentage points for in-party support... clearly "Winning".

Vivek has been the only one to stand up for his opponent... but that's probably calculated.

In theory it's not impossible. Shit, on a long enough timeline even Mudcock could exhibit the levels of sex appeal found in your average road accident, so I can kinda understand why people like Seoulbrah and Oerdin would carry a candle for De Sanctimonious.
