The DeSantis Campaign Officially Died Last Night
In the future book written about the failed presidential campaign of Ron DeSantis, the debate between him and Gavin Newsom will surely be seen as the beginning of the end. Not only was he utterly outwitted, but even with a tag team partner of Sean Hannity, Gavin Newsom handily demolished both of them for 90 straight minutes.
Ron guzzled water, Gavin smiled at the camera, nary a drop of water needed. He was feasting on the sweat pouring off of Ron.
One of the best exchanges, although there were many, was when Newsom eviscerated DeSantis over his embrace of guns and his pathetic response following the horrific Parkland HS shooting.
NEWSOM: The state of California from the 1990s. I want to compare and contrast that with the issue in Florida that you did not mention and that is the murder rate. I will -- the issue is --
HANNITY: Those numbers are part of the murder rates.
NEWSOM: Seven out of 10 of those are red states. He has a 66% higher gun death rate than the state of California. He has a higher murder rate. Go to places like Jacksonville. Go to places like Orlando. Go to places like Tampa. The murder rates off the charts compared to cities like San Francisco.
