Gov Good Hair calls Diet Trump ‘Small, Pathetic Man’ “He’s cruel,” Newsom said of DeSantis in a recent interview. “I have no respect for bullies and people who’ve made their entire political careers on attacking vulnerable communities.”
DeSantis keeps hammering more nails in his coffin with his ridiculous and hateful behavior. He doesn't stand a chance of ever becoming President. The majority of Americans can't stand him.
He is the only Florida governor known to use “executive privilege” to keep records hidden, experts say, and recently signed a law barring release of his travel records. In the four years since DeSantis took office, his administration has routinely stonewalled the release of public records, approved a slew of new legal exceptions aimed at keeping more information out of the public eye, and waged legal battles against open government advocates, the press and other watchdogs. DeSantis, a Harvard-educated lawyer and former U.S. attorney, is the only Florida governor known to use “executive privilege” to keep records hidden, transparency advocates and experts said. His travel records, previously under scrutiny by the media, are now secret, thanks to a new legal exemption — one of a record number created in 2023 by the Republican-led Legislature and approved by the governor. He also has fought to conceal information about some of the most significant events during his tenure, including withholding Covid infection data and blocking release of records about the controversial relocation of dozens of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, legal filings show. his administration has withheld some key information sought by media organizations that would show how often it denies requests for records and how long it takes to disclose them.
fwiw, this change in strategy may have started on the week of 21 Jun when i posted this https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/...-to-move-to-cali.316366/page-20#post-14689148, while Biden was starting his campaign visiting the Silicon Valley, Diet Trump was also in No Cal campaigning. in his speeches, Diet Trump intentionally avoided mentioning Newsom, the immigrants he had transported to Calif and Biden; Diet Trump knows that not only he would get loud boos from Californians, Good Hair and his communications apparatus would also accentuate home court advantage to eviscerate the fake tough guy immediately it'd appear that Diet Trump did not want Newsom to know that he was in Calif. Diet Trump, the fake tough guy, had seen this video
Diet Trump’s Culture War Has BackfiredIncreasing cancellations of convention plans and business investments are starting to damage Florida’s economy. Thanks to Diet Trump'ss war on LGBTQ people, public schools, and educational curricula, Florida stands to lose massive amounts of convention business. Much of that lost business, ironically, is concentrated in places like Miami and Orlando, which don’t share DeSantis’s views. The latest to pull out is the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning, which had planned a fall convention for Miami, and has now moved it to Chicago, incurring a stiff penalty from the hotels. Planners tend to be liberals, but lots of groups far removed from politics want to disassociate themselves from Diet Trump’s crusade. The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has moved its planned 2027 Global Surgical Conference & Expo from Orlando to Philadelphia. Around 7,000 nurses and exhibitors will no longer be helping the local economy. The organizers of Con of Thrones, a convention for fans of the HBO fantasy epic, canceled their Orlando convention, planned for the Hyatt Regency Orlando in August. The National Society of Black Engineers will also not be coming to Orlando in 2024, for a convention that would have brought 15,000 to the Sunshine State. Ironically, Orlando is the home of Disney, whose defense of LGBTQ rights prompted DeSantis to escalate his war. But conventions seem to be boycotting the state of Florida rather than moving to Disney properties. Disney itself has canceled a billion-dollar investment planned for an Orlando office park, which would have relocated or created some 2,000 jobs with an average salary of $120,000. Fort Lauderdale has lately received at least eight convention cancellations. The American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) canceled its 2026 meeting, which represented 4,500 hotel room nights, or an estimated $3.25 million in lost revenue and a total economic loss of approximately $8.1 million. the culture war against LGBTQ people is purely a stunt by Diet Trump, as the centerpiece of his national presidential campaign. It is hard to see how he might backtrack or compromise without looking even more like a lame opportunist. He doesn’t much care about the economic fallout in his state—at least not so far. The punchline is that the launch of Diet Trump’s bid for the presidency has underperformed expectations, to put it mildly. His cynical crusade, which has led him to attack Donald Trump, of all people, as a too-woke lover of alternative lifestyles, has achieved him precisely nothing. We’re witnessing a campaign flop for the ages and a self-inflicted wound to the governor’s home state, all at once.
I am not sure why he would do this; I think he is missing the boat to get anyone other than the maga base to cheer him on when he does this. IMO he is not only losing in the polls to trump, he is only going after trumps base which is a losing strategy. Some call him trump lite, but in several ways he is much more to the right of trump which if you look at the last election was a losing strategy and since then you have everything from J6 to the indictments, so the maga base is getting slightly smaller all the time and the independents who don't agree on the abortion ban or book banning or having a war with a mouse over something that is so overblown is going to alienate more people than it did in 2020. IMO trump will take the primary, Ron will look like a back stabber to the maga base but the folks in Fl will still love him and his hopes for 2028 will be slim. I persoannly think he should have laid low and see what happens in 2024, heck he could have come out and fully backed trump and been a hero in the years to come but I am afraid he blew his chances..............and that ad from this weekend should get someone fired on his team, I am not easily offended but that was offensive, even by political standards, but hey, this time next year that may pale in comparison as to what we will see
He's making dumb moves left and right. He might have his following, but even those Freedom Moms, or whatever they call themselves are designated a hate group. He's alienating lots of Americans with his White Right Christian stance, and like many other Republicans he's adopted the propaganda and hate smearing tactics to try and justify why it's his way or the highway. Regardless of Traitor Trump being convicted or not, DeSantis will never be an American hero, except in the eyes of ANTI-WOKE fanatics and far right extremist types.
The GOP primary is the race to the bottom of crazy town. I just don’t see how Fancy Boots is going to pivot if he pulls off the nomination.
I am not sure he could pivot, once you go down the extreme rabbit hole, your base wont let you pivot or they will simply throw you away and these clowns only care about power, thats the drug...........they simply want power. Look at Mcarthy, he sold his soul to get that job and now the freedom caucus has him by the short hairs. They dam gop has the majority and yet they dont do anything except piss and moan about what happened to trump and his cultist followers...........its like they just want to stay pissed so they can fire up the base.
Say what you want, but this man's heart is in the right place. https://www.theflstandard.com/video...ing-back-tears-over-covid-isolation-policies/
DeSantis isn’t backing down on the ad attacking Trump for supporting LGBTQ and is even doubling down.
