The white go-go boots 👢👢, puddin’ fingers, extraordinarily bizarre laugh, obvious lift inserts, and extreme social awkwardness killed his chances
He just came across as a phony wannabe strongman
Also, he is just too short, hence the lifts. He would have been the shortest US President to date.
Little Rhonda had less rizz than anyone I’ve ever seen, and I went to Catholic school
No rizz Ron 😂
He's just not the bigger dick. Let's hope he fails equally as miserably in the next elections he decides to throw his hat into. People dismissed Trump for similar reasons and look what happened. 10th try's the charm, sometimes.
10th times the charm with help from Russia and who knows who else. Russia ran a really tight psy op campaign on facebook and laser focused their energy on those most likely to affect the outcome and even more importantly more likely to be persuaded by fake news.
Oh I'm well aware of how Russia has helped him and the GOP and all else from their playbook (Just wanted an excuse to mention that), but let's not pretend that he wasn't also greatly aided by the American media's obsession with him and the constant stories he provides and ratings he brings in. Let's not forget how the DNC helped him by sabotaging and hamstringing their only viable candidate because it was Hilary's turn.
Are we of the opinion these factors couldn't possibly come together to fuck us again, because I'm not quite so optimistic.
The media you refer to like fox and those who now own cnn were working on behalf of at least one of the following if not more, russia, sa, china, etc.
Some news just glammed onto trump because he is a clown show that drove ratings. The rest helped him get elected because daddy putin or a saudi prince or someone else told them to.
I mean, I'm not gonna tell 'em

Being a dick can obviously help though
Yeah. Ron learned the tough way.
...that he wasn't being enough of a dick, given his mindset.
Not that he was dick enough, but most men know that for a dick to be effective. You need a hand to guide it or else it just awkwardly flops around and runs into tyw wrong hole
To refer to DeSantis that way is an insult to penises.
Mmm, hungwy
I love the double entendre!
Does it though? Trump was a massive dick, and he still got elected.
He lost the popular vote. If elections were fair in the U.S., he wouldn't have been.
once. then impeached. twice. and then indicted. ninety-one times.
that doesn’t account for much though. by current estimations next year he’ll be a twice impeached 91 times indicted POTUS for the next 4 years. it looks like you can be a lawless dick, suffer no consequences and go back to power. what’s even the point of rules?
And failed a re-election campaign
Try reading the article rather than responding to the headline
Honestly, even just read the headline. It says "more than just being a dick "
The headline itself implies that being a dick can be part of a successful formula.
