'A movement can't be about the personality of one individual.'

Florida’s Governor is going on the offense against the former President — and his devoted supporters.

In an interview with the Florida Standard, Ron DeSantis is ripping Donald Trump backers as privileging personality over conservative purity.

Interesting choice of strategey by DeSantis.

Apparently, DeSantis doesn't know the first rule of Holes:

"When you're in a Hole, quit digging!

And Ron DeSantis whispered in my ear, “I am the ‘hole”

The GOP basically hates the people who vote for the GOP.

Seems to fit, considering the following:

---“If all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that's not going to be a durable movement,” DeSantis said.

We are personally not interested in a "durable" movement.

The Democrat Party is a "durable movement."

The RINOs have proved a "durable movement." Too damn durable.

“Apparently, DeSantis doesn’t know the first rule of Holes”

Sounds to me that he has NO CLUE as to what he’s doing. He had a CLEAR #2 position, but I guess he had no clue as to who the Republican base was and what they wanted. So he listed to the big donors and that effectively ended him in national politics, at least as a Republican.

“Looks like Ron DeSanctimonious just had his ‘Basket of Deplorables moment,”

DeSantis is getting desperate now attacking Trump supporters as mindless people caught up in a cult of personality. No Ron it’s because voters see you for what you are - an establishment hack.

A lot of them are. Looking for some meaning in life. Ready pack up the family SUV and drive into town of some cornfield to listen to a well meaning, but ultimately failed candidate verbally masturbate but accomplish nothing. And if they are lucky, they get to chant "lock her up!" Even though he never did, like he promised. And maybe if they are lucky they'll get to scream "we love you!" Even though many of his supporters are rotting in prison, since his nebbishgonifputzschmuckschmendrick son-in-law never filled his head with the idea to pardon them. Just the black criminals and the Hassidic hustlers. At least for them, they will go down as backing the better candidate.

Some of them even post a lot on Free Republic.

It doesn’t matter what DeSantis says at this point, he’s done. Put a fork in him.

Trump masturbated verbally but never accomplished nothing?

I hope the attendants at the mental institution you escaped from find you before you hurt yourself or someone else.

However, don’t waste time responding to me since you are too stupid and venomous to communicate with.

I’m ashamed of myself for thinking this guy was BRIGHT.

He’s dumber than dirt.

I just want to look one more time to see if this is Babylon Bee.

If it is...I apologize.

“That shows how stupid Ron is”

Stupid is a strong word - to me it’s more like simply not being interested. Someone had noted that he barely understood Florida issues during his debates against Gillum.

Tells me that politics simply doesn’t interest him. Lots of people are like that, but virtually all of them understand to stand clear of national politics. DeSantis wasn’t one of them.

Good Heavens! Doesn’t he know the first rule against criticizing the “Great I Am” about anything? That’s SACRILEGE!

He now realizes he has no chance so has gone into Krispy Kreme mode where he just attacks Trump for elitist $$$.

What a load.
People that are not named or accused can not be pardoned. Presidents whose term have ended cannot pardon people.
Trump kept more of his promises than any president in 50 years and his accomplishments are similarly impressive.
