Florida’s Governor is not holding back when it comes to his take on the presidential debate, calling it the “most lopsided” he has ever seen.
Ron DeSantis told Fox News viewers during the post-event “Hannity” that the televised face off was a “disaster” for Joe Biden, and predicted that Democrats will have a tough choice to make in the coming months.
“So 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?”
“I think I witnessed the unofficial end of the Biden campaign and it will either officially end at the DNC this summer when they replace him or it will end in November when he suffers a resounding defeat to Donald Trump,” the Governor added.
“The reality is you cannot watch that performance and say that he could serve another four year term. I don’t think he could even get through another seven months. And I think this country is in very serious trouble with him at the helm, given the weakness that he’s projecting there.”
DeSantis argued that swing voters would be moved by what they saw.
“There’s a lot of voters that are maybe in the middle, but this is something that will matter to them,” he said, before further making the case that the President is not competent.
“And I think about it: if he were applying to run like an agency in the State of Florida, there is no way in a million years, I would hire him to run even a middling agency in the State of Florida. There is no way the American people are going to sign him up for another four years as Commander in Chief.”

Mediocre is far better than malicious or malevolent any day.
Many who end up voting for Biden will really be voting against Trump.

One week to prepare for that? A vote for Biden is a vote for the laughing hyena because Biden won’t fulfill the term. That should concern you and all the American voters out there.

Working part-time, I earn more than $13,000 per month. I kept hearing how much money people could make online, so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true, and it completely altered my life… This is what I do; you can learn more about it by visiting the website listed below.

It’s not like Trump made any strides in intellect. He did his usual rambling and chest puffing. No substance, ever, and he never answered the questions. I’m thinking Biden’s team pushed the prep too far. He seemed hoarse from talking too much, but he still had substance and intellect in his answers. Isn’t a debate about the actual questions?

I believe Biden was over-prepared, spending too much time learning esoterica instead of focusing on 3 or 4 main achievements AND holding Trump’s feet to the fire. Trump never directly answered any question from the moderator, and Biden should have called him on it.

The old conspiracy theorist cannot help but think the “democratic” powers that be decided months ago that Biden would have to go, and set a strategy based on his poorly performing in the debate, and it worked. Why else schedule a debate so early in the process? Now it is a matter of fast acting to get Biden to “retire for the sake of my health” and let Harris and Newsom fight it out.

Biden has surrounded his administration with highly qualified talented advisors. Unlike the Republican Party perception of leadership……”one man only Trump knows best” the Democrats have a successful experienced pool of resources to govern. Trump’s performance last night was a complete disgrace and while Biden didn’t shine ….. Biden also didn’t lie and he didn’t deflect.

Turns out there is a name and definition for the rhetorical vomit put forth from DJT in the debate: Gish gallop.
“The Gish gallop (/ˈɡɪʃ ˈɡæləp/) is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments.”
Gish galloping prioritizes the QUANTITY of the galloper’s arguments at the expense of their QUALITY. (Wikipedia)
This is analogous to one diarrheic poster on Florida Politics using many names to post numerous times on the same topic.

Kamala Harris is better prepared for the top job than any of the VP choices of Trump, and even Trump himself. No wonder the last person to speak to Trump on a subject typically gets the nod. The guy can’t focus unless there are $$$$$ involved.

You are completely delusional. She walked away from her job assignment to do something about the Southern Border. She is goofy as hell, poorly prepared and just giggles when she can’t answer a question.

I remember DeSantis saying something similar 4 years ago. How’d that work out? Dude is a broken record. Get some new material. That said the debate was Rip Van Winkle vs Pinocchio. (Are these the best we got? )At least we know why Trump didn’t take the stand during his trial. We’re so used to his lying we don’t even care any more…smh.

Not a good sign when one posts and then immediately responds as someone else to the first post. Time to seek professional help?

The Biden-Trump Debate as the “unofficial end of the Biden campaign” ?? As fantastic as that sounds, we need to keep “Old Joe” right there where he is. By the time we get to November , he will have already handed the election to President Trump before the first vote is counted.

Well, Ron is an expert on disastrous, failed presidential campaigns and sucking up to a convicted felon and grifter.
But no thanks.
I’ll take an honest person who stutters over a bald faced liar and insurrectionist who thinks America is a wasteland and has the morals of a pig and the empathy of a rock.

Kamala Harris has argued cases before a judge and in the Senate for legislation she supported. She has been Biden’s surrogate, often doing the road work.
I believe she could handle any of the MAGA stiffs — if any of them is conceivably capable of having a factual debate.
Instead, like the slimiest, high-pressure salesperson, MAGAs just go on, inevitably exaggerating more the farther they go. This was clearly Trump at the debate, and the whole world saw it.
