*Campaign Implosion Alert!* Ron DeSantis Is About To Have A “Chris Christie” Moment

You know, if FloriDUH Governor Ron DeSantis wasn’t such a totally disreputable scumbag, it would almost be possible to feel sorry for him.

After all, DeSantis had a long term plan, and he followed it to a T. A high school teacher with a streak of racism, DeSantis rode the Tea Party Rebellion of 2010 into the US House, where he immediately melted into the floor like warm butter on toast. He disappeared so completely that most of his GOP House mates didn’t even know he was there. He spent most of his time at home, raising oodles of campaign cash, and shamelessly self promoting himself.

In 2016 DeSantis plighted his troth to Traitor tot, and used that subservience to convince His Lowness to back his 2018 run for Governor. DeSantis always planned on running for President in 2024, but counted on that being for an empty seat after the 2nd Trump term. But DeSantis has absolutely no interest in getting a day job from 2026-2028, so now he’s running against Trump.

And, shock and awe, it’s not going well. If Flop Gove shares one trait with TraitorTot, it’s an overwhelming feeling of arrogance and self superiority. The problem is that Trump can carry it off. When DeSantis leaves FloriDUH, he looks like what he is, and arrogant, condescending *sshole. Which is why he’s sitting in the teens in the polling.

DeSantis has tried everything. He’s insulted Biden and the administration, he’s parroted Trump without acknowledging him, he created his own campaign issue, WOKE!, which took off like a glider with cement wings. The simple fact of the matter is that people. just. don’t. like. Ron. DeSantis.

And now comes the coup de grace to the ill fated DeSantis campaign. DeSantis already to leave the campaign trail for a mass shooting in Jacksonville, followed by an impending hurricane. DeSantis didn’t do his campaign any favors by showing up in Jacksonville to be booed and jeered by his own constituents, gleefully broadcast by the media. Then the hurricane struck. From Florida standards, it wasn’t earth shattering, a strong category 3. But it still made a helluva mess.

But now President Biden is coming. Tomorrow. And suddenly DeSantis is on the hot seat. As a candidate he has trashed Biden at every opportunity, and refused some $360 million in Inflation Reduction Act money to help Florida homeowners retrofit their homes with energy efficient appliances. But DeSantis has spoken to Biden several tines during the hurricane process, and neither refused the federal disaster declaration of FEMA assistance, nor did he block Biden from going down tomorrow.

Can anybody say Governor Chris Christie, and Superstorm Sandy? In 2012 GOP deep pocket donors, terrified of a Mitt Romney presidential run did everything but give Christie his own Krispy Kreme franchise to run for President.

And then came Superstorm Sandy. And then President Barack Obama personally promised Christie the full resources of the federal government to help his state rebuild. And when he showed up in New Jersey, Christie did everything but hook Obama up with a college cheerleader in appreciation. And not only did that crash 2012 to the ground, it came back to haunt Christie in his 2016 run.

And now Ron Pissantis is about to have his Christie moment. He can’t stiff Biden tomorrow, he has to show up. And he can’t be seen by his own constituents as playing politics in the middle of a statewide natural disaster. He’s going to have to play nice, he’s going to have to shake Biden’s hand, he’s going to have to smile, and he’s going to have to go through a walkthrough and flyby of the damaged areas. In other words, he’s going to have to be a f*cking Governor for once in his life.

And then DeathSantis has to go back on the campaign trail again. And in a few weeks, he’ll have to climb back on another debate stage. Where everybody but the stage hands are going to be lobbing cruise missiles at him for his suddenly close and chummy relationship with Biden. DeSantis is a piss poor debater to start with, but this next one should be the kill shot.

It’s kind of funny. After all the sh*t that DeSantis has rained down on Biden’s head, in a few weeks, or no more than a couple of months, in a nice quiet personal ceremony, President Biden will be able to hang Ron DeSantis’s hide on his barn door. Ain’t payback a bitch?
