After reading the memo, I only have one visual thought stuck in my head, which is Kevin Bacon in 'National Lampoon's Animal House', imploring a panicked crowd to, "Remain calm. All is well."
I brought this up in your mailbag, but I wonder how much the not Trump establishment will regret not coalescing around Tim Scott first rather than DeSantis.
DeSantis' FOX News only stance is so silly. Go on The View, go on Meet The Press and spar with the hosts, show you can take the contentious questions and you have fundraising pitches/social media posts for weeks: WATCH RON DESANTIS SCHOOL WOKE VIEW HOSTS etc
I agree with your assessment, Chris. To me, the battle shouldn’t be about Biden yet. Now is the time to go after Trump: attack, attack and attack some more. They are fighting for the GOP nomination. Secure that and then start on Biden. Attack Trump and say why you are the right candidate.
<b>”We’ve found that when voters hear about the Governor’s bio —principally as a Dad and as a veteran — they like him and are open to hearing more about him.”</b>
Yeah, I’m interested in hearing if he and Tom Cruise did flight training together at Top Guv school.
Also, if I was Meatball, I probably wouldn’t worry about Super Tuesday too much.
"We’ve found that when voters hear about the Governor’s bio —principally as a Dad and as a veteran — they like him and are open to hearing more about him.” Yeah but when they actually encounter the biological being of Ron in the real, physical world of humans, he's repulsive. Too bad this whole campaign isn't being conducted on paper or maybe through a proxy (have they considered a ventriloquism/Cyrano-type of campaign? perhaps a VR or animated approach?), he might actually win. Maybe Pixar can help?
Death Santis. Duh Santis. De Sanctimonious. Give me Disney or give me death? He’s bad business. He is bad governance. He is a hate monger. Did the memo indicate whether he ever listens to himself?
Meatball Ron is WAY overthinking his messaging strategy. I agree with your earlier comment, CC, that positioning to the right of Trump won't work in the Primary or General. All he has to do is pound away at electability...repeating some version of the following over and over and over: "I can win the General; HE can't. A vote for HIM is a vote for Biden in Nov24"
Any thoughts on why DeSantis and Christie are not hitting the age issue stronger? The one weakness that both Biden and Trump have is age (I really would like to see a max age - must be under 75 when sworn in for term). Great way to hit at Trump a little and Biden a lot. Christie seems to get the concept that he has to go through Trump and is in attack mode. DeSantis seems to be avoiding that. It will be interesting to see how those two tactics work over the next few months. Look forward to more of your analysis.
Good analysis, C.
Your overall appraisal made me want to steal from The Rock, and say..."Smell that desperation cookin'!"
The Rock: Now Ron DeSantis what does woke actually mean?
DeSantis: Well umm uhh woke to me is-
The Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK WOKE MEANS YOU ROOTY POO CANDY ASS!
Ahh, I cherish the insights of The Rock as much as I do Euripedes, Seneca, and Twain.
You take your little Don't Say Gay Bill
Shine it up real nice
Rub it all over Vivek Ramaswamy's face
Turn that sumbitch sideways....
AND STICK IT UP STRAIGHT YOUR CANDY ASS!
Dude, I was offering my enjoyment of The Rock's comments in and out of the ring.
I made no mention of Vivik Swamiricearoni other than another comment about him not knowing how Federal laws work.
I know, he was just the first name that came to my head and the thought of The Rock saying his name made me laugh
Really? Rock mentioned Rice-a-Roni?
Dwyane is now a millionaire to the 100th degree...so he may have forgot about his roots.

The bobblehead that flops on Fox doesn't need to bother with CNN or MSNBC. Silly little puddin' finger booger wiper.
Come on troops! Enough with silly nicknames, that’s Trump’s schtick.
He’s doomed!!
