:---P :laughing-rolling: Casey had to physically defend Fascist DerSantis. Poor optics :violin:

Well at least our next governor has the balls to stand up for her man.

Surprising no one:

Casey DeSantis considers running for Florida governor amid push from top donors

"considers ... push" :bs: It's been her plan for years, solidified after Fascist Ronny had his ass handed to him by Dolt .45.

Could be a steppingstone to a WH run. :angry-banghead:

It doesn't spoil my day to see Casey DeSantis and former Rep. Matt Gaetz rudely kicked to the curb:

‘Looks like that's that.’ Trump may have just ended the Florida governor’s race.

Buh-bye, Goofy Gaetz and Ms Fascist DerSantis. :wave: :wave:

Ah, I figure Donalds is nuttier than both of those two put together.

It's on:

DeSantis promotes his wife as next Florida governor and takes a shot at Trump's pick

... Former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, another staunch Trump ally, criticized DeSantis' comments in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“Man it hurts me to see this,” Gaetz said. “Governor DeSantis, don’t you remember when you, (Donalds) and I were working collaboratively to get you elected in 2018? We literally were your debate prep team.”

Go for it, Goofy Gaetz, Bozobert proved that anyone can win a multi-candidate primary.

She would be 74 at swearing in, 80 at the end of her term. Sheesh, retire and play with the grand nieces and nephews before you die.

I don't know whether to wish for America's worst AG, Ken Paxton, to win the primary or not. He'll be weakest in the general, but the risk is that he becomes a Sen.

Elon Musk Says He’s Stopping Political Spending After Losing Key Race



Elon Musk claimed Tuesday that he plans to back off from buying American elections, following his failed attempt to purchase a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat earlier this year.

While speaking remotely at the Qatar Economic Forum, Musk was asked whether he intended to go on another shopping spree during the United States’s upcoming midterm elections. The billionaire bureaucrat had dropped a whopping $228 million on Donald Trump’s campaign.

“Are you going to continue to spend at that kind of level on future elections?” asked Bloomberg’s Mishal Husain.

“I think, in terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future,” Musk replied.

Good, if it lasts.

... “Is it because of blowback?” Husain pressed.

“Well, if I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it. And I don’t currently see a reason,” he said.

Musk spent at least $20 million to back the Republican candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race—but lost. Afterward, a humiliated Musk pretended he didn’t even care about the results, but it was too late: he’d proved himself a political liability instead of an asset.

Hah!

Musk’s messy work with the Department of Government Efficiency has tanked public opinion of the current administration, while protesters across the country target their ire at the billionaire bureaucrat and his beloved Tesla dealerships. Musk shed 25 percent of his personal wealth in Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Haha.

In a humiliating first-quarter earnings report, Musk’s Tesla said that profits had crashed by a whopping 71 percent, falling to a mere $409 million, compared with $1.39 billion from the same quarter last year. There was even a report that Tesla was looking to replace Musk as CEO, which the company promptly dismissed and which sent Musk into a rage....

One of the 2 dumbest Senators (Johnson the johnson (R-WI) is the other one) has aspirations to be the country's dumbest Governor:

Tommy Tuberville announces run for Alabama governor in '26

"God sent us Donald Trump."

Either Potatotown gets embarrassed in the primaries or AL gets the Gov it deserves. Win-win.

As I've said many times, I'm no fan of political rookies running for high office. Learn the trade, pay your dues. However, anything to dump Lindsay. Other tries haven't worked. :problem:


Annie Andrews Launch Video: "Unafraid"
:happy-cheerleaderkid: :-|| :toothy:

Close enough to be my "region". Maybe I'll give.

GO ANNIE

Wow, great ad! I wish you luck!

Wow, someone willing to put it on the line. We need more like this.

more than ever

Absolutely! Keep it coming!

The exact kind of approach that’s needed right now

Dr Annie, you are doing more than just talking common sense to the people of South Carolina - the world is watching and with you all the way. Lindsay Graham went past his 'use by date' long ago. Love from Australia.

I hope you win, Dr. Andrews! We need more smart, strong women running our country.

I wish you nothing but success in all your endeavors Dr Andrews! I'll be watching and supporting you from Canada. Wonderful ad!

Best ad I have ever seen. Graham is weak and out of touch with the American people -especially in South Carolina. It is refreshing to see that younger person is taking the time and energy to fight for your family's future and the rest of the country. I am from MD but will contribute and follow your campaign.

Fantastic ad, Dr. Andrews!!! Rooting you on from Maryland!

Lots more. :clap:

The best chance to oust Graham is for another republican in a primary.

[O Really]

The best chance to oust Graham is for another republican in a primary.

Maybe, but Graham is just a camera-thirsty chameleon who has a much higher opinion of himself than anybody else does. Relatively harmless as Republicans go. If he got booted in a primary, it would probably be by some Henry McMaster/Nancy Mace type. Pot into fire.

Agreed. I would not expect that any other SC RepuQ would be better than Lindsay.

It's a shame Nikki Heat trashed herself so badly. If she had done nothing worse than being Trump's UN Ambassador, she'd probably have enough integrity left to be a Light Loafer Lindsay replacement. Pre-Trump Nikki was a decent governor as Republicans go.

She was a Dolt .45 sycophant and an anti-DonOLD candidate. No way she wins an SC primary or general.

[O Really]

Yeah, I'm just saying it's a shame. She was at one time maybe the last rational Republican in office.
