Ron DeSantis is out (hexbear.net)

Kind of sad that we didn't see any direct confrontation between Ron and Donald. At least we will get to laugh when he has to endorse Trump.

I really wanted to see Trump just ignore every question and relentlessly bully Desantis until he started to cry.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 82 points 9 months ago

Same, I really wanted to see Trump doing a DeSantis impersonation on the same stage as Desantis

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 69 points 9 months ago

The clown show that is US politics couldn't even give us that. pathetic

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 45 points 9 months ago

"DeSantis? More like DeSmallPenis"

"Hey! My penis is... well that rude!"

trump-who-must-go this is my first time hearing about this. Wow. He had an amazing life, whatever you think about him. Some called him Meatball Ron, not me. I would never do that, but many people did call him Meatball Ron.

[-] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 74 points 9 months ago

trump-who-must-go He's out you say? Good for him, good for him. I didn't think Ron had it in him to live to his truth, especially with all the nasty, nasty things he's said about our precious homosexuals. But i hope the coming days Ron grows more comfortable and honest with himse—

Race? What race? Ron doesn't look like an especially active person to me.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 62 points 9 months ago

I'm surprised he took so long. It was a genuine master class in how to fuck up a campaign. Hopefully this launches his new career in alcoholism or something.

If you also want to look like a Christmas elf with depression, take my new line of bone-based supplements.

God dammit. I wanted to see him get bodied over and over. Nicknames, impressions, the works. What was even the point of all this, then

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed boohoo

he rolled off the table and onto the floor ooooooooooooooh

and then my poor meatball rolled right out the door oooaaaaaaauhhh

[-] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 45 points 9 months ago

he already endorsed trump in the announcement he made to end his campaign. he shit on nikki haley too

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago

The cope from NeverTrumper Republicans is a sight to behold. Trump Nation hasn't even turned its full attention to Haley yet and when it does she will be reduced to a shell of her former self just like Jeb, Rubio, and now DeSantis. Weirdly, Cruz hasn't lost as much mojo as other former Trump rivals but that's probably due to his entrenched position and complete lack of conscience or shame.

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

He instantly capitulated and began suckling the teet.

[-] redfern45@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago

Fuckin loser

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He endorsed Trump during the announcement, and some of his #NeverTrump fans called him a cuck, lmao.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to him next. He's term-limited in FL so unless he declares himself Florida Dictator For Life, I have to wonder who wants to scoop him up and give him a job after such a spectacular tail spin.

[-] redfern45@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

Trump could give him transportation secretary like Biden did to Pete lol… that’s where careers go to die

desantis-beta-walk He conceeded to Nikky already? My goodness they aren't even letting the Republicans vote in a primary. I'd feel bad for them but....ya know. shrug-outta-hecks

2024 is going to be year where both major parties have no one standing on their primary ballot and we have no choice but a brump general election. AGAIN.

Real nice "democracy" ya got there. 3rd parties need to use this moment. If there was ever a case of what do you have to lose?

Seriously thought we'd get more entertaining milage out of the pirmaries.

A fucking half decade of buildup with a kings ransom spent by pundits, think tanks, and the general ghouls of the GOP and he folded from Trump at 10% of his power. Amazing

Lol I was tweakin’ hard when I thought he would be a great terror even worse than Trump.

I should’ve known he was done after Trump called him Meatball Ron.

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 31 points 9 months ago

I knew once I heard him speak.

That's really like how characterization in a shonen works. He's really fierce and awful behind his silhouette but then you see him and it's fuckin Meatball Ron who makes weird faces and says "hungwy"

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

A deepfake campaign ad of Ron’s face on meatwad dipping a finger into a pudding cup while saying “ronny hungwy”

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

I remember saying this guy would be this cycle's Giuliani last year and people telling me he would be a serious threat to Trump.

So that just leaves Nikki Haley. Is NYT now gonna try to take her seriously now or just ignore her?

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 25 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

If he endorsed Haley, maybe. She already had a huge, uphill battle. Assuming most of DeSantis' voters actually go to Trump, she's done.
