Classic Trump barb, it scores extra points for being simultaneously dismissive, xenophobic, and body-shaming

Meatball Ron is great. Shutdown Ron makes no sense because Florida was famously resistant to federal covid guidelines.

i read this earlier today, and got hung up on "I told Nikki to follow her heart, not her ambition or belief." what does he mean by that? also imagine someone telling you not to follow your belief

haley's going to go down in flames. the two notable aspects of her campaign so far are that it's explicitly christian nationalist (i know, i know: more visibly so than most candidates) and that she keeps referring to trump as her friend even as he tries to tear her down.

If Trump doesn’t get the nomination I expect an insurrection at the GOP convention
― INDEPENDENTS DAY BY STEVEN SPILBERG (President Keyes), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:37 (one year ago) link
that would be cool (if no one dies) but if he doesn't get the nomination i expect that will be because he completely fucks up somehow or everyone is just exhausted with him.
at this point, partly due to the winner takes all form of the gop primaries, he still seems like the frontrunner because he can "win" individual states by picking up the 30-35% of his zombie horde and then let all the other people he's making fun of split the rest of the vote

and even then, as many people in FL have pointed out, ron desantis is just a massively unlikable dickhead. so is trump, but he's more performatively cruel. desantis' cruelty comes in the forms of policies and stunts that he only tepidly brags about. trump is just a massive loud cruel asshole - gop primary voters eat that shit up.
i think the big battle is whether the white evangelical leaders will throw their weight behind desantis or trump. if they somehow go for desantis, maybe trump is in trouble. but white evangelical leaders are the most heartless cruel fuckers of the century, so i expect they'll side with trump again
― President of Destiny Encounters International (Karl Malone), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:52 (one year ago) link
i think desantis would actually be "better" for white evangelicals overall, in terms of suppressing and even punishing non-christians. but trump is more liable to just pay the leaders off by channeling money to them in various ways. it's gonna be a battle
― President of Destiny Encounters International (Karl Malone), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:54 (one year ago) link
the party elites backing desantis in order to get rid of trump obviously just plays into his hands, tho not as much as supporting him would, tough times for the party elites
― lag∞n, Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:03 (one year ago) link
i do think it's funny how trump is taking this opportunity, right after all the post-SOTU fuss with republicans pretending they don't want to cut the safety net, that ron desantis wants to cut the safety net
― President of Destiny Encounters International (Karl Malone), Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:05 (one year ago) link
Another vote here for an insurrection at the GOP convention. With maybe a bit of light hostage taking just to show they're serious about it. This would help sharpen the contradictions as the saying goes.
This would be especially helpful for all the down ballot GOP candidates who'd have to publicly declare whose side they're on before the general election in November, thereby ensuring their abandonment by a large chunk of GOP voters who vehemently disagree with their choice. Win-win!

When it comes down to it Trump v. DeSantis is a replay of Trump v. Cruz. Cruz was much more palatable with religious leaders and was popular with tea party types, but he was unlikable and the voters went with the big dog.
