Struggling in the polls, Ron DeSantis is leaning in to homophobia.

    DeSantis is a framing device. He’s the $299/month super-hyper unlimited data cellular plan, or the full leather and burlwood interior on a Mitsubishi Mirage.

    Nobody is expected to actually select him. His purpose is to make Mike Pence look balanced and in a constrcutive relationship with his sexuality by comparison.

    And, TBH, I can see Pence as the last man standing if the Trump campaign disintegrates (i.e. via conviction) I’m sure pre-2016 Republican Machine people desperatrly want someone far less of a loose cannon, he has name recognition, and they might be able to rehab his image as “he did try to salvage the Republic” if they start seeking a post-Trump message.

      He’s the Hillary Clinton of the Republican Party. Completely unlikeable and unelectable but oddly has a chance at getting nominated.

        Nothing is out of the realm of possibility at this point. As bad as you think it might get, it will get infinitely worse unless we actively fight back.
