Ron DeSantis Takes Charlie Crist Apart in Heated Debate
RedState ^ | October 24 2022 | bonchie

Posted on 10/24/2022 7:43:03 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Ron DeSantis and Charlie Crist faced off on Monday evening in the first and only gubernatorial debate of the cycle. With just two weeks remaining for election day, it was the final chance for Crist to showcase his candidacy in the face of the incumbent governor’s bully pulpit.

How did it go for the Democrat? People will have to make up their own minds on that, but for my money, the beatdown by DeSantis was so thorough that I almost don’t even know where to begin. There are so many clips of him decimating Crist that I could easily cover a dozen different ones and still have more material left over.

I won’t belabor the point to that degree, but there are some highlights that are worth sharing, beginning with what was the line of the night from DeSantis.

I listened to it at the gym, DeSantis is very sharp. Crist is a male Pelosi.

I hate Charlie Crist, but that line is a little over the top for a governor to make in a debate against their opponent.

Best Governor in the nation, no question.
I would be fine with Trump or DeSantis being President.

Non sequitur or oxymoron, take your pick.

What, exactly, and why?

And I’m done with fighting by Marquess of Queensberry rules when the Democrats have been street fighting for at least a couple decades now. I suggest you get over it.

If it's the reference to “putting the worn out donkey out to pasture”, it was brilliant.

Can easily be explained justifiably as the tired old rhetoric from Democrat (donkey) Crist being retired permanently by DeSantis.

In reality he called him a tiresome old jackass.

The rule book is thrown out. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Tolerance to liberals is why we are here at this point in history. Get over it. This is equivalent to “mean tweets” logic.

Lolz, liberal local radio in the DMV is saying the opposite.

Exactly.

Democrats are out for the blood of Americans and the complete annihilation of America and this poster is upset at a few well aimed words.

My favorite quote from the debate (from Twitter, as I didn’t know the debate was on), “He used to be tough on crime, six political parties ago.”
