Great idea, Ron. You could've had a traditional rally and been covered by all the networks, but since he decided to do this on Twitter, it's full of glitches and crashes.

Trump (and Biden) are roasting him on Twitter.

Looks like the perfect forum and mirrors the kind of leadership to expect from him. The country derailed and on near collapse like twitter.

DeSantis should've taken the hint and not announced his campaign.

Especially because even after the technical issues, DeSantis' announcement is pretty embarrassing.

david sacks? I hadn't heard that name before. let's look up this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._Sacks
Sacks was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and immigrated to Tennessee, United States, with his family when he was five

Sounds apartheid-ish, like Musk. But hey, let's not be judgmental....

In college, Sacks was the co-author with Peter Thiel of the 1995 book The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Intolerance at Stanford, published by the Independent Institute.

Ok, now that's a red flag. Thiel is a white supremacist. Also, this book is basically an anti-diversity manifesto. Bad bad.

Sacks apologized for parts of the book including where he called date rape, 'belated regret' and questioned, 'Why is all blame placed on the man?'[54] According to Max Chafkin, Sacks included a graphic description of the encounter, noting that the 17-year-old victim still had the physical coordination to perform oral sex, and presumably could have uttered the word, no.

OH SHIT.

Yeah he is basically another Musk/Thiel.

What's with this newly emerging "billionaire nazi sex offender" class?!

DeSantis couldn't book like, a real press conference that would've gotten news coverage, because then there would be press who could challenge him.

DeSantis needed a special safe space where the only people allowed to speak were from the rich lunatic who supports him.

you're right.

But you know, there are levels, from asshole to POS to psychopath, to POS Psychopath to literal nazi sex offender misanthrope. I am shocked so many of the latter are emerging.

Bingo. The whole reason DeSantis made his announcement on Twitter is so he could avoid dealing with ACTUAL news and ACTUAL press.

It's beyond cowardly, and totally what you would want from a future president.

Exactly. He won't survive like this. And 45 will rip him to shreds in the primary.

HIs social media team seems pretty solid and active. They're definitely the ones who embraced Dark Brandon instead of Biden trying to "I'm too old for these memes" it away, which probably would have been his natural response.

I guess this is the best white supremacists can hope for when they run shit. Constant ineptitude and fuck ups they try to spin it as even better than they hoped for originally. Irs quite ugly and shows a deep rot is exposed in their soul that will never heal.

Nice to see the BBC join in with giving little Ron a good kicking:

You have to imagine that someone somewhere has been fired. Maybe more than one person.
Elon Musk will be looking for scapegoats to blame for the fact that Ron DeSantis's campaign launch was technically a laughable farce. With the sound cutting out and the link repeatedly crashing it took 20 minutes to get going.

He keeps making faces and gestures that are embarrassing memes waiting to happen. Laughing really weirdly or wobbling his head oddly when asked a difficult question - body language that is strange enough to hamper his campaign.
After the disastrous Twitter launch the Florida governor appeared on the more traditional medium of cable TV - on the Republican-friendly Fox News network - where he was not asked a single tough question.
