Ron DeSantis Bombs As Dozens Show Up For New York Event


Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is supposed to be the GOP’s hope to stop Trump in 2024, but he ventured to Staten Island, NY where he drew a crowd of dozens of white men.

The high-end estimate of the crowd size for DeSantis is 100 people, but see for yourself:

DeSantis came to Staten Island to sell himself as the 2024 candidate who is tough on crime.

According to The New York Times, DeSantis requested the stop on Staten Island, “New York, where Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, has also criticized left-leaning Democrats, was the first stop on Mr. DeSantis’s tour, and the governor’s appearance was arranged at Mr. DeSantis’s behest, according to people familiar with the details. He was expected to visit Fort Washington, a Philadelphia suburb, and Elmhurst, Ill., near Chicago, later on, Monday.”

1. Strong showing Meatball

12. It was invitation only.

27. Best way to ensure an enthusiastic crowd.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Fascists anonymous. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Book Tour generally means you have to buy a book for entry, so that shows no one want to put out $$.

[dclarston13]

3. Cant stand the guy, but

This looks more like a venue issue, the people seem pretty packed in, buts its a small place. And its Staten Island....

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. It's definitely more than I'd call mere "dozens," but not by a lot.

[sarcasmo]

14. A bakers dozen.

[doc03]

4. Huge crowd from a small village like NY nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. I've been curious what the Chicago (Elmhurst) turnout was, but haven't heard yet.

[Freethinker65]

17. I think it is for LE members only and by invite.

Speaking to a controlled hand picked audience. Cowardly.

[Takket]

6. Looks like it was full for the size of the place.

And the article I read said he was meeting with cops so that might be all they were allowed in.

[Celerity]

34. typical spin from the 'one step above The Palmer Report but still bird cage liner' PoliticusUSA nt

[lindysalsagal]

7. Hahahahahahahaha

[Polybius]

8. No one even knew he was coming

I live there and I had no idea he was here until I read it on DU.

[SharonClark]

13. You aren't his target audience.

[Polybius]

20. True, but I read Staten Island news daily

Nothing was mentioned until after he was here.

[HubertHeaver]

10. Crowd not densely packed.

One hundred overweight white men, give or take 10.

[RKP5637]

11. DeSantis is a pathetic person. n/t

[SharonClark]

15. Easily 150-200.

It does our side no good to lie about counts, leave that to the GQPers.

[electric_blue68]

23. Definitely over 100. Could be 150ish. Reminder: much of NYC doesn't want you, DeSatan! 👎

16. The room was small. He was expecting a small group.

But, now we know what he's doing. He's starting with the prosecutors and probably AGs, to take down any defenders of fairness in the process.

[PufPuf23]

18. Low turnout for DeSantis is good news, DeSantis is bad news for the USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_DeSantis

Here is his history ala wikipedia.

The guy is scary because he is more competent and organized than Trump. DeSantis intends to be POTUS.

[Kaleva]

30. The room was full.

[PufPuf23]

31. Read the thread just now and rewatched the video

You are correct, the room was full but not particularly packed.

The thread title was misleading, but did not catch that the meeting was allegedly an invite only group of LE.

Thanks.

[PortTack]

19. Good! He's still and always will be trump 2.0. Voters are on to that and know the dangers!

Even if it was by invite only and small, that’s really no way to capture the attention of the voters.

[roamer65]

21. He's not marketable in blue states.

He will be only a red state, regional candidate at best.

[GenThePerservering]

22. He's working the

snowflake circuit.

Gov. Meathead won't have the courage to meet anybody else, unless they're high school kids he can bully.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

24. "woke" "woke" "woke"

[Sky Jewels]

25. Most women will be completely turned off by this creep.

He has that “makes your skin crawl” quality we can pick up on a mile away.

It’s not easy to win the presidency when a huge portion of the population despises you.

[ZonkerHarris]

26. Cops and mobsters live on Staten Island. Looks like he got both at his speech. Hard to tell them

apart sometimes

[Kaleva]

29. The room appears full to me . What am I missing?

[onenote]

32. Nothing other than the fact the politicsusa story is hyperbole.

[GenThePerservering]

33. DeSatan's rubbery, oily face

is as bad as Trump's orange slap and sphincter mouth.

Somehow showing a small room mostly filled with old white men doesn't seem like a mandate of much of anything.
