DeSantis' fall from grace has been stunning. I can't remember anything like this. I know you mentioned Scott Walker and Fred Thompson, but at least they fell off after they entered the race.
As far as a DeSantis presidential run announcement goes , if you stink as an amateur, you will stink even more as a pro. Build a state prison next to a place filled with 1000's of children? What is his campaign slogan going to be? "I am not a idiot, I just play one on TV?".
What’s incredible is that there’s not a credible challenge from any Republican to a guy who spent 2 months brainwashing his supporters into coming to DC to partake in a coup attempt. Republican politicians and their voters are both a blight.
Elon Musk is slso having a bad week. I'll need two miniature violins!
Was that the Starship Twitter today? 💥
He’s the top of my list of the Tim Pawlenty/Scott Walker award for the most underwhelming presidential front runner of 2024.
I believe Fred Thompson is still my favorite.
But at least Fred could act...Great as the sub commander in Red October and as the DA for a few seasons of Law & Order.
I think DeSantis' slide really started when he pandered to the Neo-Isolationist Right on Ukraine.
Or when people outside of Florida realized that he is an emotionless technocrat.

Is there any difference between the photographs of the Wannabe-Mussolini smiling or looking out into the crowd?
I don't see it.
Yeah I know some are but other times I just wonder
Bite your nose spite your face...
... <<. cutting off his nose *to spite* his face >> That is the correct usage
My mother's was a variation:
Cut off your nose to spite your face. ;)
Ponder this: Trump & DeSantis are the two best that can be offered by a major political party. There is something really wrong with this picture, huh?
What is life in this country?! No one looks competent
Go down a few levels of government.
Our local Dems and Repubs here in northwest Indiana work together to get things done. None of the foolishness seen at the state and federal levels.
Wow, Chris, that last sentence is one of the wimpiest bits of punditry I can remember reading in a long time.
.
Cillizza: "It reeked of pure personal animus — and DeSantis cutting off his nose despite his face."
You mean he's cutting off his nose "TO SPITE his face"
.
I’ve wondered whether he will go the way of Scott Walker back in 2016.
He’s doomed and deserves it
DeSantis is "cutting off his nose to spite his face"...not "despite his face."
I call it Karma for all his trash legislation against “wokeness.” Next to Trump he’s a real amateur at Republican politics.
