“Moderated” by Hannity. What’s the fucking point?

      I think this sends a few messages. It’s not that dems are afraid to debate DeSantis, but it is beneath even the vice president to bother. Meanwhile, it keeps DeSantis alive longer, which creates turmoil in the GOP as allegiances are divided. And Gavin wants to raise his own profile so that people know who he is and he can skip the introductions should Harris need to pick a VP in the near future.

      The only thing Newsom could do wrong is be unprepared for the debate.

        Would be an impressive flop for him, given how well he managed Hannity in their last 1:1. He came very prepared to that, I’d expect nothing less for this “debate”

          Oh yeah, I think it’s going to be a win, but then again DeSantis could shit his pants on tv and claim he won the debate, and his supporters would believe it.

                I know. He’s got more support than trump in some states, it seems. However, his campaign is floundering and he’s losing ground not making it. He’s not a real candidate any more. If he has charisma and ideas, perhaps it could turn around as people learn who he is. He has the opposite effect.

                  I think he’s hoping to stay in it long enough for Trump to be forced out by legal problems. But I don’t think Trump supporters will flock to DeSantis, I think they will dissipate across all the other turds still floating in the bowl, or they will just stay home.

      Solidarity with the president now so we don’t end up with a Trump second term. Public spotlight for his own bid in 2028.

      That was my understanding after watching the Hannity interview. But I was reading between the lines.
