Floridaman >

Floridaman has Jeb levels of charisma. He's going to flame out in minutes once he has to actually campaign. There's a reason why he's never doing Fox spots in person or rallies. >

Campaign? Haha. There were won’t be a convention, there won’t be debate, there will be heavily manipulated sound bites, testimonials from paid actors or bad faith actors, media manipulation and propaganda via places like FoxNews. 
He doesn’t need charisma. He’s got Hollywood special effects and Kochind money. >

True but he would still lose against Gavin Newsom if he tried this strategy and get absolutely steamrolled. Would be like JFK and Nixon all over again. >

lol, and he will have to contend with rump, which you know won't stay quiet, and since he has been siphoning the GOP money right from the rubes, the GOP is short on cash now.  I would love to see a split ticket GOP killing their side, but the national GOP will never let it happen.  when times comes, they will get behind the rump like they fell in line in 2016. >

I’m sure they’ll find someone worse to support. >

"We now support George Santos for President" >

George Santos, First Man on the Moon? I'd vote for him and his magical tears that can bring plants back to life. Good ol' Santos, who bravely led American patriots against the T-Rex attacks at Valley Forge, can't think ~~up~~ of a better guy. >

Then he captured a T-Rex and rode it into battle when he single-handedly won both world wars. >

And he did it while curing cancer and forgiving humankind of all their sins! >

I heard he single-handedly carved out Mount Rushmore with an old piece of chewing gum. >

This sets up the perfect storm for GOP infighting. The 30% of voting republican the swear loyalty to Trump will 110% watch the GOP burn to ashes if they don't get their way. I'm fine with this. Without a candidate that the entire party can rally behind, there's no way in hell a Democrat will lose to that as the margins are so thin already. >

My worry is that DeSantis can convert the “cruelty just for cruelty’s sake” GOP voters. He’s literally the same as Trump, just more coherent when he talks. >

The latest moves in Florida seem worse than trump actually >

Because DeSantis is more competent. Trump would have been just as bad if he was capable of getting more done and holding his tongue, like DeSantis is. >

The idea that one day a candidate can make me think omg he’s worse than Trump terrifies me.
That shouldn’t be possible. >

Sorry, but DeSantis is already worse. Lots of GOP politicians are worse, really. It just depends on if they run and how realistic their shot is. >

nah, which one is worse depends on the specifcs of the issues at hand.   if the worst choice in a situation aligns with Trumps narcissistic needs, he is the worst.   if not, DeSantis is the worst. >

DeSantis is just as bad as Trump at a minimum, worse than him if you consider he’s not a complete dumbass.
I will forever push back on anyone I see insinuating that things wouldn’t be just as bad with DeSantis(if not worse) as they were with Trump. >

ok, but to be clear, i'm not speaking about overall who's worst, i'm saying it depends on the situations we face. >

Uh need to get rid of Koch as much as trump. >

Not American but isn’t there a citizens United ruling that enables this kinda thing? Best bet is to get that bad boy repealed. >

Really hard to do that with our politicians. Maybe in time if enough that wanted to change it got voted in, but it's hard to get them to change the law since the politicians themselves profit greatly from it. >

Maybe if dems get a super majority in the House and Senate it could happen? >

Maybe. Even then, I'm not confident there are enough dems that actually would push for it as well. >

Yeah, too late for that! Trump isn't just going to step off the stage gracefully after you a-holes put him up there. >

The Koch's have always been opposed to Donald Trump. >

They absolutely gave him money during his first campaign. They have not always been against him. >

Charles Koch Explains To Donors Why He Won't Support Trump

Charles Koch's refusal to spend the network's money to influence the presidential election in favor of Trump, aggravated some donors who believe Trump is a far better choice than Clinton.
Charles Koch, who runs the conservative donor network that has raised three-quarters of a billion dollars from its members, emphasized and clarified his own personal position, including that he would not support Republican candidate Donald Trump. >

Damn your right, I checked it. They donated/raised almost one billion to republicans in 16 but only for Senate and house races. Then another half a billion approximately in 2018 midterms, but Trump was not running then. >

Such epic douches beyond imagination >

That would be a great idea for a book!
Epic Douches Beyond Imagination - The Lives of the Wealthy in Modern America >

Even HuffPo can't help but give the Koch's "powerful" and "political network" in the byline. Rather than words/phrases like; shadowy, ultra conservative, anti-union, dark money, teaparty backers, anti-public services, climate deniers, or surely other creative options. 
Think about the absolute demon that right-wing media turned George Soros into, why can't left leaning outlets bring themselves to do the same for these sociopaths? >

Trump: "And I took that personally" >

In a functioning democracy, this would not be newsworthy. >

I’m thinking the powers that be are getting all their ducks in a row to oust Trump.  The narrative in conservative media will be much different once DeSantis announces his bid. >

yea im sensing many pivots, combined w all this balloon and documents shit they are having meeting over this week and various people getting brave enough to speak against the grain.  tbh, if they were really smart, having a number of folk pivot to a moderate/centrist stance could prove to be quite valuable.  Theyve known for 10 years they need to do that to survive but doubled down w the donnie shit and now its fuckin up all their good gigs. >

"Baron Harkonnen announces that Feyd Rautha will replace that evil Rabban in governing Arrakis". >

This koch brother can turn the page ON HIMSELF octogenarian billionaires should be banned from donating ANY political money.
“Let me spend hundreds of millions of dollars make the country the way I want just before I die”
Just Fuck of and die. >

Boom goes the dynamite. >

They’ll support him if they have to. >

America has a Koch problem. >

I'm going to laugh (and then cry) if Trump manages to secure the nomination anyway because the GOP base is just that loyal to him, forcing Koch and his ilk to rally behind him once more. >

And when Trump wins the primary, they'll be right back. >

TLDR; we don’t want trump because he’s bad for us, so neither should you. >

I don't know about you, but I always vote in lock step with the world's 1% because I know - I just KNOW - that I am THIS CLOSE to winning that billion dollar Power Ball and joining their little club. >

They say that. Let’s see how primaries shake out. They can support whoever they want in the primaries, but we all know that if/when trump becomes president they will support him over any democrat. >

Alrighty KKKock brothers.  You do that.  I, on the other hand am not turning any pages. >

The guy who created the disparity of wealth claims he is against it, 🤪 >

Hmm.... Evil, very old, rich man decides ....? >

Who is that young buck, Smithers?
That's Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida sir. >

This is good news. The country needs to move on from Trump. >

Ahh the old "You guys are still on about this?".  Same thing they pivot to after police violence or a shooting.  At first it's "Too soon to use this for political points you Democrat ghouls!" then immediately "The time to discuss this has passed.  Can't you let us heal?"
Why can't Charles be more like his brother David?  And by that I mean dead. >

You can't wash off the orange slime no matter how rich you are. >

Welcome to the podium, President Whitmer. >

Fuck all the way off Brothers of Dr. Frankenstein (I'm glad one of you is out of the picture). 
You helped make the monster but now that he's attacked and pillaged the town you want to beg off? N'ah, he's your monster, I hope he destroys you too. >

Hey Trump voters the GOP is swamp is coming for you better fight back by voting third party. >

They'd still back him in the general. He'd be the "lesser evil" despite being authoritarian, anti-Constitutional, moronic, acidic, and unhinged. Because nothing could be worse than Biden fixing roads and bridges. >

Evil men stop supporting evil man, start supporting other evil man. >

Looking forward to the day I never have to read this dudes name again.
