    I see this womans face all over right now, all commenting on her book and shit she said.

    Ya’ll know that posting this shit and responding to it beyond calling out the blatant attention whoring through deliberately inflammatory and controversial statements is just giving them what they want, right?

      I really don’t think so. The fact that we’re still talking about this week’s later is an indication of how dead her national political career is. Her brand is the dog killing politician now.

      She was a contender to be Trump’s VP candidate, and he can’t stop talking about what a fool she is with no political acumen.

          Trump has that incredible either-you-see-it-or-you-don’t charisma.

          For every Trump there are a thousand wannabes like DeSantis who get destroyed by their gaffes and screw ups (like is supposed to happen) instead of being boosted by them. The exception, despite being very prominent, doesn’t break the rule that coverage of a politician’s gaffes is normally very, very bad for them.

            This did make me feel a little better, and I have to say, I think you’re right. That said, I hate that this fucker moved the needle a significant amount, desantis should never ever have gotten as far as he has.
