Up until recently, Ron DeSantis used Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” theme song as his own on the trail. But Iowa kingmaker Steve Deace wonders why he isn’t like another late-20th century wrestling icon.
“But where’s the slayer of Florida,” Deace asked DeSantis Friday, in a very friendly interview after endorsing the Governor for President.
“I expected Ron Fricking DeSantis basically to come in like Ric Flair, you know, walk the aisle and light up the room, and people are like, where is that guy?”
Flair, who called himself a “stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun,” may have seemed like an unlikely analogue for the “blue collar” Governor who plays up his humble roots.
Nevertheless, DeSantis did acknowledge his campaign had hit a lull, with Donald Trump’s legal woes leaving an impact.
“Now, I got into the race. We had some excitement and then there was the Trump indictment and, and you know, that blocks out everything. So my voice really kind of was in the background. Now we’re out there. I think we’re more assertive.”
DeSantis has contended that Donald Trump’s indictment by Alvin Bragg earlier this year was a turning point in the 2024 Presidential race.
“Look, I think, at the end of the day, the Bragg indictment just elevated him and it wasn’t so much that people were doing it because he was indicted. I think a lot of people, including me, believe that it was a miscarriage of justice,” DeSantis told Howard Kurtz on a July 26 episode of the Fox News Channel’s “Mediabuzz.”
The Governor added that the indictment benefited Trump because “there was a lot of sympathy” and because it ended up “dominating the media coverage.”

Why is info from last month “news”? And it has what to do with Ric Flair?

The article is based on an interview that took place yesterday, in which the Governor was asked why he doesn’t present himself like Ric Flair. The reference at the end of the article to another interview on July 26 is background information meant to clarify DeSantis’s usual muddled comments about how Trump’s problems are taking attention away from other candidates. Apparently DeSantis believes that if Trump wasn’t getting all the attention, people would see the Ric Flair in him.

That’s our Rhonda, always disappointing. Never living up to the hype. Never meeting expectations (other than Casey’s, but only because she has learned not to expect anything at all)
Everywhere Rhonda goes, there Rhonda is. Showing up and disappointing any people who did not already know by now that Everybody Hates Rhonda.
