Gov. Ron DeSantis is reminding Iowa Republicans of the fights he’s had as Governor as they get ready to cast their Presidential Primary votes.
“The 30-second spot chronicles the big victories DeSantis has won against the liberal elites, including Anthony Fauci, the teachers union, and (George) Soros-Backed prosecutors. Part of the campaign’s previously announced ad buy in Iowa through Caucus Day, ‘Defeating the Elites‘ will air on broadcast and cable television in the Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport media markets,” reads a release.
“They’ve corrupted our institutions, indoctrinated our kids, opened our border, weaponized government against us, and destroyed the American Dream. Ron DeSantis is the only candidate who has defeated them,” a narrator states.
DeSantis, though down in polls to Donald Trump, has said Iowans will respond to his record in this state.
“I’m the guy that can get this done, just like we did in Florida — winning a big victory, but even more importantly, delivering on 100% of my promises. We need somebody, a president, that is going to fight, and a lot of Republicans haven’t even been willing to do that. We need a president that’s going to win these big fights. And I’ve beat the left on issue after issue. And we need somebody that’s going to be able to lead — lead this country into a different direction, make sure that compass is set to true north, and get the job done. And I’ve shown I’ve been more effective down here in Florida than just about anybody in the country in modern memory,” DeSantis said Friday on Fox News.

Definition – Elite: the richest, most powerful, best-educated, or best-trained group in a society.
Not sure why you would want to defeat them, teachers, scientists, lawyers? Ok, lawyers, maybe, sometimes…
As a public school teacher, I’m definitely not in the rich or powerful category, but educated, yeah. So explain to me, doesn’t society need educated people? Who does this appeal to? Do I want the non elite like DeSantis teaching my kids, curing my illnesses, ruling the community?

Funny how the elite-educated governor rails against elitists like himself. More than a hint of self-loathing there. He simmers with resentment.

Dee “defeated” the teachers unions!?!?!
The remaining John Birchers are behind Dee all the way to perdition.

Wow – a dystopian fear-monger. He has no vision, no ideas – just tearing people and things down. He’s all anger, no hope. No wonder he’s going nowhere.

So sorry Ron. You live in the People’s House in Tallahassee… you have been missing in action this term. I don’t think you will carry Florida.

On 6/6/23, the aggregate polls (I used 538.com) had Trump at 41.4 and DeSantis at 39.3. I think that was the closest the two were.
As of 12/27/23, Trump is polling at 59.7, while DeSantis has plummeted to 20.8. Yes, those were specifically Florida polls.
And although DeSantis is second in Iowa, Trump still leads 50.0 to 18.4 and De hasn’t polled above 20 since July 16th. Haley’s pollings have steadily increased and she trails De in Iowa by only 2.7. Let’s not talk about New Hampshire (couch cough, 4th behind Haley and Christie).
Doesn’t look like it’s going so well for ya, Ron. Seems the more people get to know you, the less they like you.

Good Mornting “Dook 4 Brains Leftys”,
You may want to take this “Sage” moment in history to come to terms with the “Indisputable Fact” that Ron DeSantis will be “Your” POTUS for the next “EIGHT” Glorious Years.
Hiding from the above “100% TRUTH” and snipeing at Ron and his lovely wife Casey will ….. sure make y’all’s “DOOK BRAINS” feel better right now. But for your own mental health y’all need to come to terms with the above reality.
Thank you “DOOK 4 BRAINS LEFTY’S”

You, sir, are delusional and probably not too smart. The women in Florida will never vote for a man who wants to keep them barefoot and pregnant.

I see two underlying patterns in his various ravings. Underlying, not the total design.
1. How would the average redneck see it? This might make some cynical political sense, except that Trump’s base seems unerodable.
2. Traditional western European and New World fascism, but moreso in the nations where it never prevailed (England, France). Replace “elites” with “Jews” and the resemblance is clearer. (Runty is just using the pattern, and not that old ugly message.)

He’s really pushing the us vs. them narrative except that he’s in the them category. I read a while back that his apparent philosophy is very big on expanding government authority (what I’d call borderline fascism) which tracks pretty well with what he’s been doing in Florida so I guess he needs folks to be dumb and compliant so he can execute his master plan. I hope he never gets near anything resembling federal power. He’s a worm with aspirations to snakehood.

With due respect, some levity: Dee is with the heavily armed and dangerous crowd. They can call themselves whatever they desire and I won’t demur. I have only my vote to protest and they’ll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers to keep me from using it to counter them in Nov. 2024.

Someone recently said Calvin Coolidge was Dee’s model. Others have said Ronald Reagan. Silent Cal and smooth Ronnie don’t usually poll well with historians and political scientists, which may be one reason Dee dislikes other educated folks: They got facts.

Forgot to mention many and numerous seniors and veterans leaving the State he left behind, because of the highest insurance rates in America and a ‘knee-jerk’ condo law killing condo affordability! Great job ‘Little D!

But those insurance companies are donating to him huge sums of the increased premiums for his book tour and failed run for Presaident!

Yep, Dee is more and more coming to resemble Don — Corleone, that is.

Little D has gerrymandered to win knowing he needed to demolish those votes to win and use us to run for President. It was a plan and he used taxpayers money for his campaign. He is a snake. He looks like a snake wearing his high heels. Casey and Little D are worthless and are using Kim Reynolds now. How about the Ziegler’s, Little D? You are a snake sitting in a train wreck. 🚆 You lie about everything. I loved the judges calling you out for non existence of child mutilation- you made that shit up too. Lately, calling out Haley about slavery when at Darlington Prep School you refused to teach it and abused a girl in class that was black and challenged you on how slavery hurt her ancestors. You refuse to allow teachers to teach it now. You were fired at Darlington and you want to take it out on teachers and teachers unions. Most teachers have their masters degrees. At Darlington Prep School you had a 4 year degree in history and refused to teach slavery or acknowledge slavery but you are going after Haley. I get physically sick when I hear your voice on TV. I think Mika does too on msnbc. I watch her face and most reports know who you really are. Gavin Newsom mobbed the floor with you while you just screamed above him. It was a joke. You are a joke and liar.

Wow so much sour grapes on this board. The man won by an overwhelming majority yet I never read a comment on his behalf at this rag.

Political divisiveness. It’s a red state so people vote Republican. You can win a primary by 10 votes where 2000 people have voted and by the time you get to state or federal level, it’s a binary choice and folks go to their preferred option regardless of who they’re voting for. We, the people, are the ones who lose unfortunately. Used to be that Governors and Presidents would put their differences aside and govern for the benefit of all Americans but those days are long gone. Pretty sad really.

Dee squeaked by Putnam the first time he got elected. His second election featured a dramatic decline in voting by people of color — coincidentally the very same folk Dee has gone after in varied fashion.

The Ass DeSatin doesn’t tell the people in Iowa that the people in Flordia is paying for his stupid campaign with their tax payer money.
If you don’t believe me have him produce records of where the money is coming from!
