Florida’s Governor isn’t an official candidate for President yet, but his case for The White House is being made already by his super PAC.
Never Back Down is rolling out a new ad in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — four early Primary states where the Governor has slumped in polls in recent weeks.
The 60-second spot is replete with soaring oratory from the Governor himself, juxtaposed with shots of people consuming his speech — on cellphones, in living rooms with framed newspaper articles extolling him, and in person, their faces beaming and rapt.
“When common sense became an uncommon virtue, Florida was a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans,” DeSantis intones during one portion of the ad. “We will never surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die!”
DeSantis takes strong stances rhetorically against “corporations” and “corporate media” in the spot, familiar lines to Floridians that the super PAC is betting will make an impact in these early states.
The ad closes with someone covering up a Donald Trump 2016 sticker with one that says “DeSantis for President.”
Polling in the early states suggests DeSantis will need a lot more people ready to make that change, however.
Recent New Hampshire surveys show DeSantis anywhere from 20 points to 33 points behind Donald Trump.
The former President doubles DeSantis’ support in South Carolina, where Nikki Haley is within the margin of error to tie for second place.
In Iowa, meanwhile, Trump is up by 30 points over DeSantis in the most recent polling.
The Never Back Down ad was shared first with ABC News, which reports that the spot will play nationally and on cable television.
This spot follows up another ad that has been in heavy rotation, one that also offers an unsubtle preemption of former President Trump. The 60-second “Steel” includes a picture of a White man in a hard hat watching Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci talking COVID-19 mitigation strategies.
See the new DeSantis ad below.

Cuckolded by Kenneth Griffin, Thiel, and the entire money train of socialist Nazis currently funding the QOP, DeStoopid is not only wrapping up his last successful election post but will be divorced before President Biden is sworn in for his next term.
Lapado will testify against him in 2025 and then he loses his law license.
Come back in 2925 and see!

Fantastic work, Mike. Since I currently make more than $36,000 each month from just one simple web business, I commend your efforts. Despite the fact that these are the most basic internet operations occupations, you may start be-11 making a reliable online income with as little as $29,000.

“…never back down…” the failed mantra of disbarred Roy Cohn and twice impeached indicted rapist ….. Donald Trump!
When you have a label of “not backing down…. expect no compromise.
Throw every Republican out of office.
Labor is dead Ed👍

With Orange Hitler in the mix.. that about wraps it up for the GOP in 2024. Ron should just go ahead and do a political suicide bombing and attack Trump head on. Only other option is to remain silent and run in 2028 instead. 2024 is pretty much a pipe dream for DeSanctimonious. If he runs, he will lose. It’s all for show..

It’s not all for show. Ron and Mrs Duh already got a taxpayer funded world campaigncation out of it.

I loved some of the comments in the British press:
“But Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis failed to impress British business chiefs at a high-profile London event Friday, in a tired performance described variously as “horrendous,” “low-wattage” and “like the end of an overseas trip.”
$100MM in campaign contributions can’t buy a personality unfortunately.

What would the Brits think of Joe Biden if they took away his teleprompter and cheat sheets?

Your stupid comments about Joe’s teleprompter and Hunter’s laptop only serve to increase support for Biden. Just look at the sub-ape levels of intelligence by you and the others who support the GOP. Do people want Q-Shaman and Fire Nikki to pick the next president? Better get out and vote for Biden.

“DeSantis takes strong stances rhetorically against “corporations” and “corporate media” in the spot, familiar lines to Floridians that the super PAC is betting will make an impact in these early states.”
This quote is going to come back to haunt DeSantis when Disney gets done with him.

Never back down TRANSLATION
Someone who:
Will never listen.
Will never consider new facts or others’ points of view.
Destined for endless pissing contests (like the one he is engaging in with Disney).
No thanks.

Lots of lefty trolls here. That’s who participates on this board. Remind me again of the most recent Governor race in Florida? Thankfully not enough of you trolls here yet in Florida. Of course you are coming because you are fleeing the disastrous policies of democrat run liberal states.

👆Far right troll… exactly why Trump lost. Who wants these apes to determine the future of the nation? Victims of far right propaganda and religious whackos… intelligence less than that of an ape.

Funny how the opposing views on this leftist board are labeled as trolls and apes. Careful using the word ape around here. Someone might get offended.

Not gonna work so well for a presidential race when you concentrated so many rednecks/bumpkins/hillbillies/other troglodytes and q-pilled morons into ONE state. Great strategy LOL.

Once again, the FASCIST Republicans are spreading fear and hate, but calling it “freedom”. Only in Florida will the government expand the death penalty, and allow any random Yahoo to buy a gun, but will force a teenage rape victim to have her assailant’s child and call themselves “pro-life”. These Christian nationalists/white supremacists need to be rounded up and eliminated.

This is a serious message. Never Back Down needs to withdrawl it’s support for Mr. DeSantis, and pull the ads off right away! Instead, Never Back Down should spend its millions to help Floridians that are still suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. The ads are misleading. Mr. DeSantis is very unpopular, and should NOT run for The White House! Period!
