Top story. Republican mega-donors
are starting to think Ron DeSantis might not be the nasal voice.,
charisma free, children's general obsessed,
2024 sure bet
they thought he was. In a story sure to alleviate populace fears.
The nation is run by a shadowy cabal of rich people.
Rolling Stone exposed a group chat of conservative donors questioning
whether DeSantis has the minimum competence to be an effective pawn.
Quote:
Those donors, they're under the false impression
that Republican politicians
focus on responding to statewide crises rather than Reddit
rumors about Cookie Crisps turning kids gay.
This follows another wealthy donors saying of DeSantis, quote:
You know, you're killing it when your opponent is facing a porn star,
hush money bombshell and the billionaire donors are like,
“let's see how this plays out.”
Meanwhile, a Trump aligned superPAC showed uncharacteristic generosity
by putting DeSantis out of his miser,
with this ad.
Ron DeSantis loves sticking his fingers where they don't belong.
And we're not just talking about putting
DeSantis has his dirty fingers all over senior entitlements.
Scary music.
Cutting Medicare, slashing Social Security,
Even raising our retirement age.
Tell Ron DeSantis to keep his pudding fingers off our money.
Oh, and somebody get this man a spoon.
Make America Great Again Inc. is responsible for the content.
I'm hungry.
Now, if Trump thinks this sort of frivolous
ad hominem attack can sway voters, then he is exactly right.

Lydia Parker.
Good evening.
Chief washington bureau chief who has only ever made love on murphy beds.
Jonathan Keene.
Hello.
Chief field correspondent who'll be taking a shower with soap after this.
James Smatwood Jr.
Hey dad.
Plus CNN host who
when he's on TV, makes my wife suddenly really interested in the news,
Van Jones. Thanks so much for joining us, Van.
Glad to be here.
Now, Van, why has Ron DeSantis been unable to connect with voters or rich donors
no matter how hard he uses the power of his office to stop the downtrodden?
Well, I just think that, you know, he's famous for being in a fight
with Mickey Mouse and Disneyworld, but he seems to get living in his own
fantasyland, where as long
as he's able to rile up the Fox News audiences actually get
before the United States, the reality is he is not popular.
He beat a walking corpse
to become the governor in Florida.
He didn't have stiff competition there.
He's been bragging on that.
He did not do well one on one with people.
And his policies are, you know, more popular probably in Afghanistan.
They are in United States.
Well, look, I will say I mean, he could go after an even lower rung of society.
I could see him going to a factory fire,
maybe karate, chopping a bunch of chickens.
You know, dissenters has been strong on technology, brilliantly transforming
every major issue facing the country into a new form of transphobia.
That pudding thing is crazy.
Everyone knows the only way to eat pudding is in an adult sized
high chair being spoon fed by a buxom German grandmother.
Yeah, I understand.
DeSantis is descent into power hungry madness completely.
We've all done heinous things to further our ambitions.
I know I have terrible things.
Keene. No, no, you haven't.
I sure have. I can be a real terror.
Didn't you apologize to a urinal once?
Hey, when I'm in the wrong.
I say so.
And that's great.
Keene now, a DeSantis super-PAC responded to the Trump ad with an attack
ad seemingly written by the political machine
that catapulted Jeb Bush to political stardom.
Donald Trump is being attacked by a Democrat prosecutor in New York.
So why is he spending millions attacking the Republican governor of Florida?
Trump stealing pages from the Biden-
Pelosi playbook. Repeating lies about Social Security.
Here's the truth from Governor Ron DeSantis.
You know, we're not going to mess with Social Security as Republicans.
Not going to mess with entitlements as a Republican.
At some point, they will be. We will take a look at this.
Trump should fight Democrats, not lie about governors.
It's like 9 hours long.
But to Donald Trump.
Great ad.
Trump's base
of policy wonks are really going to think twice about voting for him now.
Van, what does an effective DeSantis ad on Donald Trump look like?
Is it a whiny defense of his record?
The problem they have with someone like DeSantis is he doesn't know how to fight.
If he thinks he's going to be able to beat Donald Trump by splitting hairs
about Social Security policy, he hasn't watched Donald Trump.
You go after Donald Trump by going after the things he really cares about.
He's a vain man.
You talk about his looks, you talk about his hair, you talk about his family.
You do stuff that's going to throw him off his game.
Unfortunately, that is not in the Ron DeSantis playbook.
He's used to standing behind a podium of fawning reporters
who are going to throw him softball questions
and let him say mean stuff about people who are not there.
This is he is not prepared for this fight.
And it's obvious.
I don't know about that ad ever since watching the Trump pudding ad,
I believe all political ads must contain thinly veiled metaphors for butt stuff.
You know, this ad would be far more engaging if they re-edited it.
So it plays in the corner of the pudding ad.
Oh, wow.
The idea.
Yeah, that's definitely better that way.
I still feel like the DeSantis ad is a little big.
Can we make that a little smaller?
Oh, that's an improvement.
Oh, I like. Yeah. Okay.
Why? I mean, all those trial is just.
Just a curiosity.
We tried, like, ten times smaller than that.
Oh, that's nice. Even better.
That's good.
Now I’m paying attention to the DeSantis ad.
It's actually maybe just get rid of it entirely.
Yeah, I think we. Yeah, we're good.
Let's just watch that. This is.
This is the best version.
Magnify the pudding. Oh, that's. Nice.
Can we do pudding in pudding?
There's an idea.
Let's just keep if there's any way to be infinite pudding?
That'd be great. Now you're talking.
Look at that go.
That is a great. This is. A fabulous. A great.
This is in the.
Pudding is good.
