A more formal announcement is expected to follow at 6 p.m., when DeSantis is appearing in a Twitter Space with Elon Musk. DeSantis said last week he feels he has a much better chance than Trump of winning the election, and that “When we say we’re going to do something, we do it, and get it done.” He acknowledged he has recently faced criticsm, including from other candidates and “two presidents,” but voters he has met are on his side.

(Snip) DeSantis also joined a special event on Twitter with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, which received such intense interest that it crashed the event due to the servers being overloaded. “The servers are straining somewhat,” Musk said at one point as 700,000+ people logged into the event.

These Lowlifes & Misfits are far worse than the leaders of hostile foreign countries. They must be soundly defeated in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” As DeSantis’ Twitter event had some technical difficulties due to the high level of strain that it placed on the company’s servers, Trump added: “‘Rob,’ My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and is working (TRUTH!), yours does not!

But if he's not, I pray he have the self control to stay out, not to run as independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 The DeSantis Doctrine Column: Ron DeSantis and the battle for the New Right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R.) announced his presidential candidacy during a Twitter Spaces event Wednesday, but it was Elon Musk’s show. The Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX CEO received co-billing. Moderator David Sacks, an investor and former executive at PayPal, said the technical snafu that botched the conversation was a consequence of Musk’s enormous Twitter audience. DeSantis thanked Musk for buying Twitter and turning it into a platform for free speech. Each of the guests lauded Musk’s ingenuity and courage before asking DeSantis a question. One especially obsequious Republican congressman bragged that he owned a Tesla. DeSantis would make a point on some issue and then Musk would respond, calmly and commandingly, in his mellow South African accent. It was easy to forget that you were listening to a campaign launch and not the Wall Street Journal’s "Future of Everything Festival." Occasionally DeSantis would fall silent, and Sacks and Musk carried on without him. Musk might as well have been the candidate—and there is reason to think that, but for the Constitution, he would be. The Twitter glitches got most of the attention, but what fascinated me were the exchanges between DeSantis, Sacks, Musk, and others. The dialogue not only revealed aspects of DeSantis’s primary strategy. It also clarified some of the animating ideas behind DeSantis’s corner of the New Right. For the contest between former president Donald Trump and DeSantis is not just over who will lead the GOP. It is also a struggle between two concepts of the New Right, pitting the former president’s MAGA populism against the Florida governor’s institutional culture war. No one needs a lesson in Trump’s impulses and grudges. They have been at the center of our public life for six years. What’s important to recognize is that, despite his personal idiosyncrasies, Trump is an archetypal American figure. Tribunes of the people have sprung up to rail against the Eastern elites for centuries. Jackson, Bryan, Wallace, Buchanan, Perot, Palin—the list is long. All of them have identified scapegoats, indulged in conspiracy theories, and cultivated personal followings. All of them have spoken in straightforward, declarative language. All of them have drawn huge crowds by telling the dispossessed that social status can be reclaimed by throwing out the corrupt elite and replacing it with the leader’s steady hand. Their nationalism and traditionalism have been leavened by a folk libertarianism that distrusts centralized power and is individualistic and entrepreneurial in spirit.

Geee Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 DeSantis's campaign is already making the Republican Party stronger Announcing a presidential campaign through a glitchy, glorified online conference call was an interesting choice, but even if it was the wrong one, it is good that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has declared his intention to secure the 2024 Republican nomination. During his Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk, and in later interviews with other journalists, DeSantis brought freshness to the Republican primary as a candidate willing to challenge former President Donald Trump on substantive policy grounds.

Geee Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 If DeSantis isn't the front-runner, why is everyone treating him like he is? While the establishment media pundit sphere obsesses over declaring Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign launch a disaster, everyone has made it clear that DeSantis is the front-runner in their mind. DeSantis’s initial Twitter Spaces room suffered from technical problems after more than 700,000 people joined, the largest Twitter Spaces room on Twitter the platform has seen. Yes, the big pie-in-his-face moment for DeSantis’s campaign launch is apparently that there was too much enthusiasm. You got him right where you want him, guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
