Ron DeSantis wants more debates on Fox News
Florida ^ | 12.14.23 | A.G. Gancarski

Posted on 12/14/2023 7:50:12 PM PST by conservative98

Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham or seemingly any prime time host would be fine with the Florida Governor. Gov. Ron DeSantis deserves credit for consistency, calling on yet another Fox News host to help shore up his presidential campaign by hosting a debate.

“If you want to do other debates, Nikki Haley and me, I’m in. Donald Trump and me, I’m in. So just say the word. You’ve shown that you can do it in a way that I think really helps the voter. So I’m game, just let me know,” DeSantis told Sean Hannity.

DeSantis benefited late last month from holding a debate with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Hannity’s show, an event where DeSantis faced little in the way of tough questioning and seemed to benefit from not having multiple candidates on stage with him to distract from his message.

DeSantis told Hannity his supporters “said it was the most substantive debate that they’ve seen in this entire election cycle.”

Whether that’s true or not, DeSantis previously attempted to cajole Haley into a debate hosted by another Fox News host.

CNN has offered to host debates in January, in which DeSantis has also agreed to participate. At this point, it appears that the Iowa event scheduled for Jan. 10 may not happen, given Haley’s reported reluctance to commit to it.

Ron, Here’s some free advice. Being a thirsty beta gets you no where.

I’m surprised it is still a thing. I haven’t really watched cable ‘news’ since Chandra Levy and Gary Condit were the most important people on the planet.

He’s reminding me of Ted Cruz in 2016. Next up is to name a VP.

DeSantis needs to be like Trump.

No debates.

It works for Trump.

The Swamp Filth, aka campaign staff, need mechanisms for fundraising.

Fundraising has very little to do with advertising or votes. It is money into their own pockets.

You can tell the Swamp. Anyone with a political career. Period. Full stop. Just reject all of them as unqualified. The primary qualification criterion is “have you had a political career?” If yes, you’re just voting for the Swamp.

Just how badly does DeSantis want to lose? Doubling down on a losing strategy, is still losing.

“Ron DeSantis wants more debates on Fox News”

you can’t really blame a guy for trying: any kind of lengthy national live TV time is worth many millions of dollars ...

and there’s good chance he’ll get some of that free air time IF the anti-MAGA, anti-Trump networks figure it might hurt Trump ...

No one is going to change their minds with more debates. All they do is bash Trump and each other. Never go after Democrats. Better off knocking on doors and getting the vote out or fund raising.

People are done watching the debate clown shows. Those MSM gotcha sessions just make candidates look bad.

Meatball should know, he hasn’t really done too well in any of them. But neither did anyone else.

Uh Ron, that should tell you something.
