I love how the media keeps pretending the GOP base might actually choose somebody other than Trump. Recently Christie has been floated as a possible Trump alternative. He's at a stupendous 2.3%. That's 0.3% above Scott who already dropped out.

I put a very bad Halley/Meatball joke in the title but I removed it. [CW: sexist]

Halley coming for Meatball.

I know right. I was saying that about his voice like a couple of weeks before Chapo did. Also saying "It's sugar man" in that voice has become my new diabetic slogan for carb cutting. At least he was a bit entertaining.

I'll never understand what's going on in the brains of political publishers, editors, and some reporters. When people didn't know who DeSantis - they published long "think pieces". And they never thought about the elephant in the room - his fucking voice? Yeah, it would be better if people focused on the issues, etc. But we don't. Some reporters must have wanted to share the wonders of his voice with the world but got overruled.

I read one of the "think pieces". It must have been ~3,000 words. What a waste of my time. He sounds like a Hanna-Barbera character villain with his own show that was so hated and ridiculed the series was cancelled on the third episode. Besides DeSantis's voice - he's creepy. When he smiles - he looks like a lizard creature man. There's no way Mr. Off-putting Whiny Voice is going to become president. Spare me the fucking "think pieces".

Maybe voters in Florida are strange or he got lucky or both. The state has to be at least a bit strange. Hello, Rick Scott.
