He's unironically a cuck. After all of Trump's personal attacks and humiliation, Ron went full TED CRUZZZZZZ and immediately got on his knees and started slobbing on Trump's golden knob.
What a big dumb baby.
Ok. Not going to vote for any of those fools anyway. Joe Biden 2024.
Really wish we had a better option but it’s anyone not fascist until this wave of budget fascism dies out
Over time I see less and less of the need to be like "lol I don't like who I'm voting for, but I feel like I have to." I see absolutely no regret in 1) voting against obviously they worst thing ever and 2) voting for someone who seems to a least try to do things that aren't horrible and are generally pretty good? They only time you're going to agree with everything a candidate says or does you'd be on the ballot yourself. Even then it's probably healthy to disagree with yourself a bit.

Should have accepted his participation trophy
He should be forced to carry his unviable campaign to term.
Yes he should have
He's probably gonna keep trashing Florida, though - gotta line up a post-governorship job with Faux.
We can and should laugh at this pathetic wannabe dictator.
But it's too bad that all of the GOP candidates are falling in line so early. A primary where 3-4 people were constantly hammering on how Trump was bad for the country would have more effect than the full general election will on right-leaning fence-sitters. Instead, they are falling over themselves to show submission.
But then again, even the idea of a real primary was probably a fantasy. It's always been a Trump VP pageant filled with sycophants.
it is desperation so much of the nation wants similar things, they can only be this to have a chance.
"Why does no one like me, even when I'm the one hurting them?” - Ron DeSantis probably
weak and pathetic
Maybe he should have used even taller lifts in his shoes and leaned forward all the time, it works for the wannabe mango Mussolini
I wonder if Hailey drops out and by some miracle Trump is found ineligible by SCOTUS than the Republicans would have NO candidates to run for President. That would be very interesting…
Oh they'd try but they'd have a stock photo of a middle aged white man that no one could pick out of a lineup
How do any of these morons expect to beat Trump if they won't say anything negative about him because they are afraid of pissing off the psychotic MAGA crowd? They ran campaigns refusing to call out his bad behavior when it would have been a slam dunk to just point out that Trump is an indicted felon and a crook and has no business running for office while under so many legal threats.
Chris Christie did. Didn't get far either.
Christie will go right back to worshipping Trump when he gets the nomination.
Why would that work? At this point, the majority of people comfortable continuing to vote Republican after an attempted coup, the repeal of Roe, and an avalanche of explicitly harmful and bigoted legislation are die-hard reactionaries and Trump supporters, and the Republican primaries seem to be reflecting that. Nikki Haley is the closest thing we have to a center-right candidate, and her odds of beating Trump right now are pretty slim. The political right has been bleeding public support for a while now, and Trump is the only thing that's been giving them momentum and wins - dropping him is desirable to at least some of the party, but it probably isn't an actual option.
And even if they did drop Trump, like... they're probably not going to course correct at this point. Enacting christofascism and appealing to reactionaries is looking more and more like the only hope for a future the party has left, and they'll likely continue down that path with or without Trump. "Bringing Trump to justice" is still worthwhile, but on a number of levels, it will not suddenly make the party of the southern strategy electable.
Forgot how to fascist. Don't try to get more popular than the boss.
Bye bitch, enjoy your lameduck political career
The real failure was the friends he lost along the way.
Well that was distracting for a few minutes.
Buh-bye, Rhonda Sand-Tits!
Adios, puddin’ fingers!
No one suspended shit. You don't suspend something as important as a presidential campaign. He ended it.
