DeSantis rivals pounce

Whatever the economic backdrop of this dispute, it has enormous political implications, as could be seen from the swift reactions of some his potential GOP primary rivals.

Trump’s camp issued several statements, including one that crowed that “President Trump is always right,” and recirculated his previous prediction that DeSantis would be “absolutely destroyed by Disney.” The situation is a win-win for Trump: It allows him to portray DeSantis as weak and politically naive and also to take shots at an impressive economic and political record in Florida the governor is using as a bedrock of his campaign. Trump has long styled himself as a famed dealmaker, and while this persona may not be justified by his years of questionable investments and business failures, it remains a powerful one among GOP primary voters, and could help him drive home his attacks on the DeSantis business record.

“Ron DeSantis’ failed war on Disney has done little for his limping shadow campaign and now is doing even less for Florida’s economy,” the Trump campaign said in a statement.

Another possible GOP primary candidate, former Vice President Mike Pence, also leveraged the Disney announcement to jab DeSantis. He argued the governor should have simply taken the win in the legislature over the teaching of gender issues in schools.

2,000 fewer groomers

Sounds like a win for Florida.

[Red Badger]

Disney is just using this as an excuse for their own incompetence.............

[EQAndyBuzz]

No need to worry about the 2000 jobs. Taxes are coming in from all those blue state residents who fled to Florida.

[Timber Rattler]

Or maybe, just maybe, Disney couldn’t afford to build it, with all the cutbacks and layoffs that Iger has been making lately.

Disney is lying. They were already going to cancel this project as They are cutting $5 billion in spending. They just announced they are closing the Star Wars themed hotel that cost $4500 a night, that was a failure from day one.

Are they going to blame Desantis for that also?

Governor Ron DeSantis a MUCH better negotiator than Donald Trump.

Perhaps DeSantis should write a book about it.— Chris Nelson 🇺🇸 🏝 (@ReOpenChris) May 19, 2023

Ron DeSantis never negotiated anything in his life. I can just see him meeting with Putin in his glossy white boots.— Joseph Pino (@JosephPino_) May 19, 2023

He “negotiated” FL out of a billion dollar deal.— Dazzledown (@MAGAORBUST2024) May 19, 2023

Like Disney lol— Sandra (@thatgirlsandra9) May 19, 2023

How much do you get per tweet? And also are they hiring?— Matthew Schaefer (@Matthew74586248) May 19, 2023

He did really well with the recent Disney debacle considering he is a career politician who has never held a job in the private sector. Oh wait. No he didn't. Never mind. You just can't help yourself. Fascinating.🤡— Buck Stars (@buckstars999) May 19, 2023

You know, the more you only Trumpers dig up bottom feeding leftist talking points against DeSantis, the more foolish you look and the more people will gravitate to DeSantis as the more mature, more conservative candidate.

You really need to think what you’re doing.

And keep doing it.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Given how many businesses and new residents have come to Florida in the last three years, I’d guess they’ll be OK without Disney’s development.

[webheart]

How does anyone think that Disney would open a shiny new office park with 2000 employees when they are laying off literally thousands of employees?

As Russell Brand might say it, “We were planning to open a big shiny new office park in your state. It was going to be big surprise, but you ruined everything. You’re just like your father!”

[Dilbert San Diego]

So, what’s the deal here?

We conservatives had been led to believe, that the proper conservative view, is that DeSantis was the good guy and Disney was the bad guy, in this battle over their school laws and all of that.

So now we are being told that DeSantis is the bad guy against Disney?

So with this whole situation with Disney and DeSantis, who is the good guy who is the bad guy?

[Vision]

Hey Trump, FU child molester.

[Bubba_Leroy]

They had already pushed it back several years. There is just no reason for Disney to spend millions building office buildings when there are many office buildings that are now vacant. It has nothing to do with DeSantis and everything to do with the Biden economy.

[Fido969]

Oh, BS, they cancelled the project because it would cost them money. Then the leftie blame Desantis.

[isthisnickcool]

Why didn’t Disney announce that it was a 100 billion million billion dollar project then say they were cancelling it? Lol.

[windsorknot]

Do Disney groomers intend to keep feeding our kids their woke garbage? It would be a real shame if they shut down entirely.

[windsorknot]

This is CNN. They hate DeSantis, too.

[Revel]

Not loving DeSantis but he is doing the right thing here. Shame on any conservative is falls for this CNN crap.

[Colo9250]

As much as I don’t want my Governor to run against Trump, I am really starting to see that Trump is scared silly of a guy that hasn’t even announced yet.

I have to wonder why? Seems like there are more important things and people to attack.

[Brilliant]

We don’t want their woke executives here anyway.
