Ron DeSantis is still trying to troll Nikki Haley into a debate where the moderator likely would favor him, though he’s not framing it quite that way.
During a Monday interview on “The Ingraham Angle,” the 2024 presidential candidate said Haley “probably wouldn’t like what the debate would be about,” pointing to various “establishment-oriented positions” she has taken.
DeSantis cited her belief in a social media registry, contended she believes there should be “no limits” on immigration, and what he described as a pro-Walt Disney Company over Florida stance as examples of her being “fundamentally out of step with Republican voters.”
“I think she’s relying on liberal media to prop her up,” DeSantis said. “But I’m game for the debate.”
The Governor’s delayed response came a week and a half after Haley shot down the Laura Ingraham call for Haley and DeSantis to debate on her program during a pre-Thanksgiving hit on the “Guy Benson Show.”
“See you in Tuscaloosa,” Haley said, telling Benson that the Republican National Committee said that the only debates candidates could have would have to be officially sanctioned by the party, with the fourth such showdown slated for Alabama in December.
DeSantis and Haley have shared debate stages three times and appeared together a fourth time at a forum hosted by DeSantis endorser Bob Vander Plaats earlier this month. The Governor has struggled with Haley during each of those events.
It’s uncertain why Haley would have agreed to a debate on likely unfriendly terrain, given that the Fox News host accused the former South Carolina Governor of “political suicide” after she got praise from the center after her performance in the presidential debate in Miami.
“There’s no future in the Republican Party for someone who’s been endorsed by POLITICO and The New York Times,” Ingraham pronounced, as transcribed by Media Matters.
Conversely, Ingraham lauded DeSantis, saying he emerged “strongest” from the debate and was the only candidate with a “presidential” mien.

Laura Ingraham? That lady who did a legit Nazi salute at the RNC?
No wonder DeSantis has a crush on her.

Why did you boy cover up the death of Peter Antonacci in his office?
You can die in his office and he won’t even notice. Then lie about it while it comes out. That says everything we need to know about this pathetic POS governor.

His failed, desperate campaign is shining through. As always, Ron DeSantis resorts to kicking and screaming.

Yet it was okay for Donna Brazile to leak debate questions to Hillary Clinton in 2016. The 2020 debate monitors were full of Democratic hacks

It was not okay, and Donna Brazile lost her job at CNN as a result of her leaking the questions to the Clinton campaign. The debates and town hall meetings affected were between Clinton and Bernie Sanders in their competition to be the Democrat nominee. (Brazile was out of the picture by the time Clinton had the nomination and was debating Trump.) The leaked questions were revealed in emails that Brazile wrote that were hacked by Russia and given over to Wikileaks, so that revelation — along with a few other hacked DNC emails — worked against Clinton in the long run. If the Clinton campaign had told Brazile, ‘No, We don’t want your help,’ or, ‘No thanks, This is unethical,’ they would have avoided a lot of trouble.
But they didn’t. Apparently they thought all was fair in politics. Right up until they got caught.

Oh, IBS, what are we gonna do with you. You’re always trying to change the subject. There’s probably still internet posts from 2016 with comments still open. Go there and comment off topic and 7 years late about 2016.

Good evening America,
I’ve always suspected this Impeach 8iden person to be a closet self flagulating 💩 4 🧠’s Lefty 👈 in disguise. Her insolence and weird feet porn fetishes directed at me, The Saintly Earl Pitts American, show my suspicions to be spot-on.
Henceforth all fans of me, Earl Pitts American, are hereby ordered to shun this 👿 devil plant here at F. P. known as “Impeach 8iden” and not reply or respond to any of her insolence.
I, The Earl l, have spoken.

I’m no fan of Fix Entertainment TV. It is pathetic that Rona is a fixture on Fix. This is the network whose defense of Tucker Carlson in court was that he was just an entertainer and that no rational person would believe him. Only fools waste their time watching Fix. Most of those fools are Trumpet fans; too bad Rona. Keep up your losing quest to be President and make us all laugh at you for being a fool!

Laura claims to have followed the Grateful Dead for a spell in her salad days. Wonder if she got some bad acid and is still having flashbacks?
