Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t letting go of last week’s presidential debate amid Democratic deliberations about Joe Biden’s political future.
Speaking in Pensacola, Florida’s Governor told supporters and stakeholders at an infrastructure event that the “jig was up” for the President, even though many of his supporters would be fine with a “Weekend at Bernie’s” presidency (a reference to the ’80s comedy where two younger men pretend their older boss isn’t dead after all).
“The reason why they’re calling for (Biden to leave the race) is not because they think it’s important that a President can actually discharge the functions,” DeSantis said.
“No, they’re calling for it because that scene was so jarring that they understand he’s going to lose. And so they want to be able to try to get someone else in there that will carry out their agenda, but they really (wouldn’t) care if that debate had gone a different way.”
If Biden had won the debate, the Governor said Democrats and those aligned with their agenda “would not say a word because ultimately, it’s all just about retaining power and having power exercised and consistent with their ideological agenda.”
The Governor said that he had an “uncomfortable feeling” watching Biden debate Donald Trump, contending that it started “four or five minutes in,” and that the President’s decline since his first campaign was evident.
“A lot of these people in the media, they decided to try to paper that over to try to get him across the finish line,” DeSantis added. “Well, what happened on Thursday was people saw with their own eyes and so they’re not going to be able to gas light that, they’re not going to be able to whitewash it.”
DeSantis made the comments at Pensacola State College. They followed up on a similar take he had in the immediate wake of the telecast, when he told Fox News viewers during the post-event “Hannity” that the televised face off was a “disaster” for Biden, and predicted that Democrats will have a tough choice to make in the coming months.
“It was a disaster for Biden. I think that they’re going to definitely try to do something this Summer, but if they don’t, there is no way the American people can give them another four years, you know?”

It’s been a 3.5 year run for weekend at Bernie’s Joe Biden. It all started with the basement plan and the media outlets, reporters, White House staffers took it from there. Joe got exposed last Thursday.

I think Desantis’ comments are fair, but his claim that it took 4-5 minutes to understand Biden’s incapacity shows what a moron he is. It was obvious within the first 60 seconds.
Forfeiting an election to a scumbag like Trump, the spoiled brat who tried to overturn an election with a mob of white trash, who thinks he can abolish income tax with a regressive system of tariffs, is almost as treasonous as Trumps actions on Jan 6.
Biden is not going to get better and should have the dignity and love of country to step aside and drag his horrible choice for VP with him.
Mark Cuban famously said he’d vote for Biden over Trump even if they were giving Biden the last rites. America deserves better.
Impeach Biden

At least we know Ms Pushaw. 😎
But to the point: I give Ron credit for his expertise as a washed up highly disliked candidate
Impeach Biden

It is long past time for the Vice President and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment forthwith. The corporatist news media, their personalities and talking heads have been gaslighting the American people for a while now as to President Biden’s mental acuity and cognitive qualifications to serve another 4 seconds, much less another 4 years. Governor Ron DeSantis is not only America’s Governor but the most principled conservative leader in a generation and the most effective Florida governor ever. It’s why we Floridians re-elected him to a 2nd term in the greatest landslide in the history of modern Florida politics.

Touchdown!
All the people on this thread who don’t love FL or our great Governor can pack up and MOVE to Gavin Newsom’s putrid Homeless state which is also over run by illegal aliens (aka criminals not “migrants”) invading California at their taxpayer’s expense.

Those of us who have lived here a long time are disgusted by the destruction of institutions, people, and disregard for places here that we love by a governor who is only interested in burning his MAGA credentials for another failed presidential campaign. He burned a lot of bridges and did nothing to bring us together.

The majority of the lies on this site emanate from the multiple-personality, serial MAGA poster who doubles as a fishwife with innuendo about women and people of color.
