Haley and DeSantis are Showing How They Will Fuck Everything Up and Hand Trump the Nomination
The picture is becoming clear
Watching the Republican field get winnowed down has been like watching a Vietnam movie. You start with a large group; in the first debate, there were eight people in the platoon. A few were obviously dead men walking — Burgum and Hutchinson were clearly going to get smoked as soon as shit got real. The others got got one by one over time. Big Timbo (Scott) stepped on a land mine. The Skullfuckinator (Mike Pence) got taken out by a sniper. Now, we’re down to just Reaper D (DeSantis) and 12 Gauge Nikki (Haley), while Sergeant Trump cowers under a table at base camp in Saigon.
Wednesday’s debate between Haley and DeSantis was less stupid than the others. Of course, the episode of Baywatch where they find a treasure map was less stupid than the other debates. Unfortunately, this debate was most maddening of all of them, because it showed the road map for how Haley and DeSantis might hand the nomination to Trump. Which I think would be bad for America and, worse still, terrible for political comedy writers.
