Voters 'Will Walk Barefoot Over Broken Glass' For Me, Boasts Ron DeSantis

[packman]

Trump -""I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

AND now DeSantis declares that his voters will - "“When you stand up for what’s right, when you show people you’re willing to fight for them, they will walk over broken glass barefoot to come vote for you, and that’s exactly what they did for me in record numbers,” the Republican governor said to a standing ovation. “We’ve got a lot more to do, and I have only begun to fight.

Makes one wonder if DeSantis sees himself as the son of the Orange God?

1. Are Florida's beaches covered with that much litter?

[Darwins_Retriever]

11. What beaches

Most of them are now out to sea.

[tblue37]

17. But FLA still has plenty of sons of beaches.

2. pride goes before a fall ....

[Pobeka]

3. They did die at some of the highest rates from COVID for him. He's not wrong about FLvotes.

[Chainfire]

4. He sure doesn't mind ripping pages out of the Turnip's playbook.

Next he will be talking about shooting a man on S. Monroe St.

5. Happy to hear he is doubling down on Trumpism.

It did so well nationally.

6. Seems like Huffpost is down with catapulting the propaganda.

Republicans "win" in Florida because they cheat. Their message is exclusive and divisive. Democrats in Florida are suppressed and intimidated. Huffpost doesn't seem to figure those facts into their puff piece.

7. The opposite is true for me.

I’d walk barefoot over broken glass to vote against him.

9. Thank you

Hit the nail on the head.

8. He has about as much charisma as ice melting.

But it doesn't take much to entertain a MAGA.

[SergeStorms]

18. "Entertain a MAGA"...

Just grunting out "Murka" now and then seems enough for most of them. Throw in "wall" and an occasional "Antifa" and you're pretty much a right-wing star these days.

Pretty damned sad if you ask me, which no one did.

10. How close to the tabulated results were the exit polls?

I have my doubts about the authencity of that count. Many red states have no paper trail and worse no audit trail.

[peggysue2]

12. This is just a turn on Trump's infamous line

I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.

DeSantis is dangerous, a far more savvy and disciplined version of Trump but with the same petulance and vindictive mean streak.

The man is a Bully-in-Waiting.

[MissMillie]

13. Yeah, he channeling his (not so inner) Trump there

Interesting move considering he's probably going to say that he's the proper alternative for GOP voters.

[peggysue2]

19. Exactly right!

GOP leadership and donors are already pointing to DeSantis is the 'reasonable' alternative when, in fact, he's a mini-me authoritarian. Just like the Boss.

What Republicans want is a more acceptable version of the autocratic/theocrat leader, someone who can sell a poisoned package to Americans without all the histrionics. They need a more 'civilized' Trump clone--DeSantis, Youngkin, etc. Doesn't matter who as long as the Chosen One can get the job done.

[lame54]

14. That's his 5th ave statement

[Sky Jewels]

15. Well, I would walk over broken glass to vote against him,

and then throw the glass shards at his stupid smug face.

[allegorical oracle]

16. DeSatan IS the broken glass. His politics and Surgeon General will ultimately kill people. n/t
