Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Has To SEARCH Diner To Find a
Single DeSantis Supporter — And Even She’s On The Fence​

GOP's 2024 race captured in one Fox clip​

Rarely does one picture truly tell 1,000 words. But a Fox News segment this week
perfectly captured the state of the GOP's 2024 presidential race, in a few short frames.

Why it matters: Rupert Murdoch, the Donald Trump booster turned critic, has turned Fox News
into a very friendly platform for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — promoting his unofficial run for president.

The drama: DeSantis, plugging his new book and testing his 2024 message, joined
"Fox & Friends" virtually on Tuesday.

• As part of the coverage, co-host Brian Kilmeade was working a live audience at the
  Metro Diner in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. — a suburb of Jacksonville, DeSantis' birthplace.

In 2020, this could've been Sean Hannity teeing up Trump. But things have soured badly
between the former president and the most-watched cable news channel.

The climax: Kilmeade roams the diner, asking who people support for 2024.

• "Trump," says the first.
• "Trump," says the second.
• "Trump," says the third ... and fourth ... and fifth ... and sixth.

Finally, Kilmeade finds a woman with a DeSantis T-shirt, and asks her who she backs.

• She replies: "Oh, gosh! I don't know. Trump or DeSantis — I'm either/or."

The intrigue: DeSantis used to live within walking distance of the diner — and represented
the area when he was in Congress, The (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union writes.

The bottom line: While DeSantis has surged to the clear number two in the GOP field,
the diner crowd echoed what four recent polls found:

• This is Trump's party — and crashing it will be harder than many presume.

Brian Kilmeade co-hosted Tuesday’s episode of Fox & Friends from a diner in Ponte Vedra, Florida.
Just before going to break, he held an unscientific but still revealing poll of diners’ favorite candidates in 2024.

“All right. 2024, who is pumped up for the election?” Kilmeade asked the attendees of the Metro Diner.
“Rapid fire. Who is your man? Who is your woman?”

The first six respondents ALL cited former President Donald Trump as their preferred candidate, though two added
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as a running mate to Trump, and two mentioned former South Carolina Governor
Nikki Haley also as a Vice Presidential candidate to Trump.

“So far, a lot of Donald Trump,” Kilmeade noted before finding a woman wearing a shirt emblazoned with the name
of the Florida Governor. “I see Governor DeSantis; what about President DeSantis?” he asked of the woman.

“Oh, gosh, I don’t know,” she replied. “Trump or DeSantis, either/or.”

It is very early in the 2024 race for the White House, but many pundits see a two-horse race emerging for the
GOP nomination between Trump and DeSantis. While recent polls show Trump leading DeSantis by 15 points,
the customers at the Metro Diner in Ponte Vedra have a much clearer idea of who they want to run in 2024.

The hivemind of the whackadoodle right is still hardwired to respond "Trump!" Der Santis is the hard-right's shiny new toy, but word had not gotten out to teh rank-and-file just yet.

I've been saying for years, only Trump can do Trump.

 

[LLCox]

I have never seen the bar for President set so low.

Don’t kid yourself.

The establishment “republicans” actually haven’t got the memo that the corrupt orange traitor is STILL the first and ONLY choice of the whackadoodle right. - The CPAC straw poll probably got their attention though.



BabyBoobs, etc, can pronounce that the “GOP” has moved on from the corrupt orange traitor all they want; but objective facts say otherwise.

The MAGAts STILL have the “GOP” by their tiny little balls.

SAD!!!

 

[phrodeau]

It’s no surprise that mainly Trump supporters attended CPAC, and it’s also no surprise that mainly Trump supporters attended a Fox & Friends event.

Trump doesn’t scare me. His supporters do.

DeSantis is actually scarier, in my opinion. I mean, you would have to go back to the 1950's to find a more militant, outspoken racist with asparations to high office, and even further, perhaps to the 1800s, to find one as determined to put his dystopian, neo-apartheid ideas into public policy.

I don't disagree, but I also think he's just trying to beat Trump at his own game, and I don't think it'll work. You can't fake the combination of cluelessness and utter shamelessness Trump brings to the table.

 

[Sean Renaud]

DeSantis scares me a little less than Trump. I think he's probably more openly evil but I also think put in the White House goal one will be making money for his donors and attacking minorities will be somethin he'll pay lip service too but he has no real appetite for it.
The only reason he's doing it in Florida is he has limited ability to line people's pockets there so this is a better money move.

The difference, as I see it is that Trump has no core values or beliefs. He's a con man who says and does things that he feels will advance him personally. Desantis actually believes he's doing the lord's work.

 

[Holy_Seduction]

Desantis actually believes he's doing the lord's work.

He is a pious fraud and feigns faith to connect to his Christagelical Evanjihadist base.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Most true Christians should have seen right from the beginning that he basically violates every single commandment and tenant of Jesus Christ, and does so flagrantly. Why any true Christian supports him at all- makes me suspect they are Christian in the same sense that Trump is African American.

Or, did Jesus say that adultery, contempt for the sick and poor, theft, lying, etc. are noble and God-like virtues? I don't remember reading THAT in the Bible...

…true Christians should have seen right from the beginning…

They did.

Doesn’t say much for the state of Christianity in today’s US.

The link on my OP is from Axios, brainiac. This is another example of you not being smart or witty enough to pull off the snark.

You tried.

Yes, a story about Fox News. Your fascination with Fox News is amazing.

 

[Holy_Seduction]

corrupt orange traitor…

The thing is, one can say that [and I don’t disagree] all day, but without formal legal charges against him, the assertion has no weight.

When federal agents started extracting lawfully demonstrating democrats from Portland streets, the world socialist web site answered promptly by publishing a demand for Trump’s immediate removal from office.

 

[DeluxAuto]

It's not a story about Fox News, genius.

Are you still taking your meds?

The wackadoodle leftist mentality labels anything they disagree with a “Right wing conspirity theorists”…
How many ‘theories” have proven true!
The liberal left are the extremists!!! The Trans lobby and the climate cult, along with the vax advocates are facilitating the destruction of civil society, with the help of the CCP and the Marxist, communist agenda.
The HIVEMIND are those who still. After all the proof against it, believed the MSM propaganda, (which, BTW, Obummer legalized)
They can’t recognize that so called ‘medical professionals, 97% of climate professionals are just as easily baught off as pollititions.
If you’re part of this believe system… you all should be ashamed of you ignorance!!!
WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
