The management and branding team behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continue to track a transparent path toward a 2024 nomination run. Florida Governor DeSantis was sworn into office today at Noon eastern, complete with Jeb Bush as a special on-stage guest of honor.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is one of the primary organizers and influencers for DeSantis ’24 presidential bid. Former governors Rick Scott (R) and Charlie Crist (R/D) did not participate in the ceremony. Additionally, despite the early hour and not appearing to be coincidental, it appeared the political branding team decided to have Casey DeSantis take a page from First Lady Melania Trump’s wardrobe style. WATCH:
.
They are going to recreate Camelot whether you want it or not. However, once you see the strings on the marionettes, it’s impossible not to watch the performance and not see them.
Ron DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood by the professional political class and Bush family revenge operations.
JEB! Is all you need to see there clapping like trained circus seal to know why DeSantis is not our man but the Swamps’.
Bad Bush, NO BONE.
Low-energy ¡Jeb!.
‘Nuff said.
I gacked when I read Jeb was there.
One would think DeSantis was Zelinsky.
Don’t you think there are laws DS could enforce to keep the Ukrainian Nazi from owning a mansion in Miami ?
They are both short and being propped up by the same globalist politicians and bankers.
.
One would think that the “branding” mavins would know better than to feature Jeb! prominently. Yes, Jeb! is all you need to see.
(By the way, Casey looks very pretty, but I still prefer the original. Great observation Sundance on their weak attempt at subliminal persuasion! Apparently we deplorables are considered to be real stoopid.)
.
Problem with the masters-of-all-they-survey is that they are too “smart” for their own good.
honestly, it made me think of the style of JackieO
Jeb! will sleep good tonight —after all that exertion clapping his paws.
I lived under Jeb Bush as Governor of Florida for eight years. Jeb was corrupt, incompetent and afraid of his own shadow dealing with minorities. Everybody in Florida knew that Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes was a fraud and Jeb refused to remove her from office. Ron DeSantis wasn’t afraid to remove Snipes or deal with The Walt Disney Company or remove Democrat Prosecutors who refused to prosecute criminals. DeSantis may not be 100% MAGA but he’s a lot better than anybody else other than Donald Trump!
Aren’t you so very tired of voting for “better than”?
This is the reason CA is the way it is, and seem to agree since you are back there using lived in the past tense, but my apologies if not. Now you can start working on Fl
Is he better or is he allowed to be?
Imagine that..
A trained seal in a swamp.

Jeb Bush as a special on-stage guest of “honor among thieves”.
Swamp!
There are three ways by which to tell a man: “his eyes, his favorite quotes and the friends he keeps”.
The consultants can try to copy Melania’s style but DeSantis’s wife, Casey, will never be Melania Trump, nor Jacqueline Kennedy.
There is only so much 21st century movie remakes we the deplorables can tolerate.
Jeb looks so foolish, clapping like a seal.
I can’t tolerate listening to the full fake speech. I knew long ago that DeSantis is NOT a good speaker…and never will be a re-make of Donald J. Trump.
Give me a break.
Big Fail.
She looks way wrong dressed like that.
It takes a lot of sophistication to carry off a look like that.
And his suit is so ill fitting. Look at the last picture. Rumpled and sloppy.
FPCH: As a political fashion analyst*, I agree that the outfit doesn’t quite work and the gloves are a bit much.
*Not my full-time job
Yeah, I thought the gloves were weird. Without those and maybe lose the cape too, the light green is a pretty color, and it would look fine. It just looks like someone went to a wedding in formal dress and the wedding was a casual dress affair. Probably not her fault. They just convinced her this would be perfect.
Or a weird color bridesmaid dress.
I agree. The cape and the gloves are too much. Especially in Florida.
gloves are ill-fitting/too big
I suspect they were going for ruching, without the skills to execute expertly.
What is called OTT…
Over the Top
Trying too hard.
Do you honestly believe that Donald Trump is a good speaker? Seriously? For all of his qualifications, public speaking unless totally via teleprompter is not one of them.
Was that a 21 gun salute. How prete ntious.
In that bottom photo with Jeb!, I notice Casey DeSantis tweeting the same photo with Jeb! cropped out.
Odd isn’t it? The First Lady of Florida, refers to the Governor of Florida, her HUSBAND, as “Dad”????
How classy is that?
I assume she’s speaking for the kids.
Imagine Melania Trump or Jacqueline Kennedy doing such a thing.
You can’t. They didn’t.
She has to be careful; it’s all about “Presidential Image” now that they are moving along in campaign mode.
Wonder who the consultant was that allowed that tweet to stand?
I agree. Very not ready for prime time.
Cute kids!
Not really
Why not?
Seriously – why is she calling him dad? It’s juvenile to tweet like that.
Lol
Of course, Casey will support her man, as any loving spouse must. But just as a side note, I recall, during the period in which DeSantis became interested in the governorship, he appeared at many Trump rallies, and the latter used to tease Ron about the fact that Casey had supported Trump more vocally and did so long before Ron. We know Trump likes teasing, of course, but he never forgets his friends or his enemies. In Donald’s own way, and according to his own personal ethical code, Casey will always come first, ahead of Ron.
What significance does this have? Probably none, but it does speak about Trump the man.
So no one should expect him to take any shots at Casey. She’s already in his group of the chosen , i.e. the true, natural-born MAGA supporters. He will love them always and will never forget them.
She looks ridiculous. That outfit is way too fancy for the occasion. Add to that, Casey is the type to wear booties, skinny jeans and a cardigan to get her pumpkin spice latte at the Starbucks. She’s a basic B, try hard not a fashion trendsetter.
“Please clap”
Every time I see Jeb I hear “ please clap”
I always hear the rest of his statement on describing those “lesser” beings he’s demanding clap.
Try as she might but Casey DeSantis will never be able to pull off Melania Trump’s style. Melania’s class & beautiful look shines too bright and anyone trying to emulate her is only going to look foolish. I remember Sundance pointing out how Ron DeSantis was trying to pull off using President Trump’s hand gestures and body language some time back. He looked foolish too. Apparently neither Mr. or Mrs. DeSantis aren’t secure enough with themselves to be their authentic selves.
And THAT’s not authentic!
Perzactly!!! While it may be quite flattering to emulate President trump and he always lovely Melania, it would be much more powerful just to be themselves. Stop trying to persuade me/(us) that you are the “acceptable” version of President Trump. Thanks, but no thanks, we KNOW the real thing. As Sundance twatted “we can see you.” We know what you are doing. You are not fooling us.
Kind of surprised the club thinking Jeb Bush adds any relevance to anything but Karl Rove’s fees
Ron Desantis is a Lawyer, a Yale and Harvard Grad and a Career Politician….While he’s been good for Florida as Governor I will not vote for him or any Lawyer on the National level…Not that voting matters….
He’s been fari on Florida, maybe not even that in totality, but we shall see.
I am more interested in the greatest criminal theft of state and private lands which DeSanctimonius allowed to transpire in Florida. It is happening across the USA under the 30×30 (thirty by thirty) federal plan to control 30% of the USA lands and waters by 2030 and 50% or more after that.
30% of the USA is larger than the Louisiana Purchase. And that is just their planned starting point.
You will own nothing and be happy as a slave, or else.
I JUST ATE, Sundance. haha
When in the past have we ever seen the inauguration of a Governor?
I’ve had enough of this twit. I am NEVER voting for DeSantis for President, ever, even if he’s the GOP nominee. He will be the one time that I will depart from voting all-GOP since November 2008.
The only way he makes it under current circumstances is if they install him-which is a possibility since that is apparently how we do it now-assuming they get rid of DJT somehow.
I can’t stomach the video but did see a still photo from the event. Casey’s outfit, lol. She’s the Dollar Store version of Melania.
$1.25 store now, thanks to demented puppet. Lol.
Exactly. She can’t pull it off.
“Ron DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood by the professional political class and Bush family revenge operations.”
What a sentence! 😂 👍
I commented on it too before I saw yours. Yes, that sentence says it all.
I loved his speech and I don’t care that Jeb was there. He is an ex- Governor afterall. You can’t deny the speech wasn’t how everyone feels in America today. My Opinion.
That just reinforces that he is actually running a not so stealth national campaign.
If Trump can’t or doesn’t run, everyone here will be DeSantis all the way.
Who else is there?
I’m here and I will never vote for DeSantis. If Donald Trump is not on the ballot, I will write him in. I’m done with the lesser of two evils trap.
I’m with you, Willing Spirit.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
I’ll write in Donald Trump, and add a J. in the middle so no one can question who I meant.
Amen!
”I’m here and I will never vote for DeSantis. If Donald Trump is not on the ballot, I will write him in. I’m done with the lesser of two evils trap.””
This Floridian agrees. Once again people are falling for another “Manchurian Obama”.
“If Trump can’t or doesn’t run, everyone here will be DeSantis all the way.”
False choice. de Santis is Uniparty. Trump is MAGA.
There is but one man who has gone through the fire to put America First.
Not I. Never RDS.
Oh no we won’t!
Where is here?? Certainly not my house!! No thanks!
Well he has you. “Who else is there?” no one ,if that is the choice I write President Trumps name in.
Not I. I’ve seen the strings and can’t unsee them. I find him and his wife more loathsome than say a Haley or Cotton because they are bigger phonies.
No, but I know what DeSanctimonius has done to help steal the lands of Florida from it’s citizens.
I also know he does not run Florida so much as he is allowed to manage Florida for the globalists due to his refusal to protect a citizen of his state from an illegal search, seizure, theft of properties, and many other treasonous acts as a CIC of Florida who refused to do his duty.
there is plenty more for those willing to look.
Mrs. DeSantis does her best to imitate First Lady Melania.
However, the dress, cape, and gloves seems a bit much for this occasion.
Yes, she reminds me of Holly Golightly in the opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany’s
I would have loved to spend an evening with Audrey. Something about her. Katherine would have been way more fun to hang out with long term.
Great movie! But what would it have been without that great song? Something else, I guess. Apparently, producers wanted to ditch the song, but Hepburn said (as quoted), “over my dead body!”
At least it’s not the insufferable Jeb! or an Asa Hutchinson type or an untalented female or minority they are teeing up. That’s as positive as I can get.
A Plus he didn’t read his speech. He spoke from the heart.
Have you ever memorized a speech? Actors do it all the time, especially in plays.
He was using a teleprompter…it’s right there …you can’t miss it.
He didn’t go off script and he didn’t memorize a damn word.
I liked it better when President Trump gave it.
It was much more authentic and honest.
Bush is there on behalf of the Daddy Bush (CIA and War Inc.)
The Bush machine is bankrolling DeSantis.
It’s actually the Skull and Bones Network.
The Yale connection is what gave away RDS.
“DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 dollar bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood..” Sundance, you sure do have a way with words.
Truth!
The wife looks ridiculously over dressed. I am embarrassed for her.
I think she looks pretty nice.
In Virginia, Youngkin wore tails. Overdressing is ok.
Casey should have used her own style, though. Remember election night? That was an outfit that she chose; more appropriate.
Jebbie needed to be in the audience, perhaps in the front row, but not on the dais.
I agree with having her own style. I immediately thought of Melania which I am assuming they were shooting for.
That’s Virginia. Florida is not Virginia they are entirely different.
No one wears gloves like that in Florida. She would’ve looked prettier in a sundress, with the wide skirt, fitted bodice that Melania wore occasionally. Maybe a hat, but no gloves.
At this point, it appears that DeSantis may be resorting to Clinton tactics to get what he wants.
A dangerous man who shouldn’t even serve out his remaining time as Governor.
He won’t ,he will be campaigning for two years.
“Ron DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood by the professional political class and Bush family revenge operations.”
Nailed it! Definitely meme worthy. Trump 24!
Casey looks amazing in that dress.
Just sayin
She could have left the gloves off. It’s not a State Dinner.
Casey looks beautiful, but her styling has its sights on a position beyond the one of the occasion. IOW, it’s indiscreet, Camelot indeed.
Her husband mimics Trump’s gestures and style as well.
“Ron DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood by the professional political class and Bush family revenge operations.”
Perfectly imaged.
Have any organs done more damage to our country than those two
She looks ridiculous.
In a beautiful woman totally owning a dress way, sure.
I admit, this isn’t a gala state dinner.
But I really don’t care. Over the top? Maybe.
Have you seen Big Mike Obammy lately?
She can wear what she wants, imo.
And she looks great.
Doesnt mean I’m voting for DeSantis, just that she looks awesome.
Cheers.
Change the context and she looks fabulous, but she and her professional stylist are signaling an ugly intention.
Just how ridiculous do you really want to sound? You don’t know squat about the mind set, intentions nor anything else about her professional stylist let alone if she even has one. Please forgive me for breaking your bubble my dear, but don’t think Melania didn’t have fashion consultants.
You, my dear, totally missed the point and inferred something I didn’t think or say.
Thirtytwo seconds clip:
Is your attention span short ,or do you just get bored easily,or do you have a compulsion to be the center of attention.
You should always dress for the occasion. This choice shows a lack of breeding or that she is too weak to say no to the consultants.
Oh boy, this is really getting rich. Now we are resorting to the “lack of breeding” insults. So what’s your breed? Let me guess.
It’s overkill for a state governor’s inaugural address.
RINOS rear their ugly heads. Beware.
The slick, swampy politicians and their manipulating swamp building donors must despise sundance and a few others like him that expose and mock the deceptions they thought were carefully crafted and concealed. DeSantis had me fooled.
They think they can easily deceive the people with another “Camelot politician” due to so many past election successes but they can’t fool everyone. Having others decide the clothes your wife wears is sick. The long gloves are a giveaway
Most Republican voters can’t see the strings and never will.
DeSantis can trick a lot of people into thinking he’s fighting against the establishment by simply railing against wokeness.
Yes. Wokeness is merely the symptom of the institutional rot.
W couldn’t make it ?
Blah Blah Blah, I can’t even watch his act anymore, it is so Pathetic.
When FILTHY LIBERALS like Jeb Bush are clapping for you, I’m out.
Please hop off your wallet and buy a tailored suit, Ron. Maybe it’s supposed to look like his Dad lent it to him. If so, Nailed it, Ron.
Why can’t Casey be Casey, and let Melania be Melania?
I like Casey’s style when it is her style.
However, I cannot bring myself to be critical of who she is. She’s a mom, wife, and
the loyal support for the Gov. That’s fine.
Is it the “new thing” to fashion a Gov. inauguration after a Pres. inauguration?
The first one I saw was of the Virginia Gov. Now, DeSantis followed with this.
Then, Jeb shows up. Please, Jeb, just get off the stage. Go away, already.
It isn’t as though Jeb is the “outgoing” and DeSantis is the newly elected, incoming Gov.
No, Jeb left office in 2007. DeSantis is starting his second term.
These people are trying too hard.
Imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery.
They are just trying too hard in attempting to provide a more swamp pliable MAGA-Lite alternative that they might think could fool some of those voters who backed PDJT.
Identity theft comes to mind
“These people are trying too hard.”
They are now just two GOPe hand puppets.
“DeSantis is starting his second term” no sort like obo and bitme, Jeb is starting his second term.
The gown and
(omg 😱 !!! , 😂)
WHITE gloves (?????????)
?
Was this -even- an evening Ball or banquet?
-T a c k y
Wedding. Mint green
I know! Me and the overdressed ladies at the laundromat today can really relate to Casey.
😂😂😂😂😱😱😆
-🫢
The GOPe (i.e. Bush dynasty, Rove, MIC and the Mcs) are terrified the Dem and Libs can’t take out PDJT before 2024 so they must lay early groundwork for Ron Decepticon. He’ll end up being the sacrifical lamb.
One sane governor and a true American and of course a leader – Go Ron DeSantis
LOL, 30×30 illegal land theft is happening right now in Florida with DeSanctimonious’ help.
JEB! Their he is the low energy loser standing right behind Ron.
That’s all you need to see.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Camelot… it’s an apt thought. Casey has got that whole Jackie Kennedy look going on minus a pillbox. I’ve got to add, it’s a blessing she is healthy for her children.
“Ron DeSantis is the counterfeit $100 bill on a fishing string being dragged through the MAGAhood …”
Sadly, it is working. Go to CFP, PjMedia, Instapundit, and even increasingly here at CTH. Filled with the DeSantis MENSA club who believe replacing a stallion with a mule (infertile, sterile) is the key to getting elected.
You nailed it!
“Sadly, it is working. Go to CFP, PjMedia, Instapundit, and even increasingly here at CTH” Only if you read a troll comment like this “Nurit Greenger
January 3, 2023 10:12 pm
One sane governor and a true American and of course a leader – Go Ron DeSantis”
Insta and PjMedia are NeverTrump and have always been part of con, inc. They are grifters that are paide by the uniparty.
Ronnie can’t win unless they agree to steal the election for him. He can’t honestly win in the rust belt.
ERR, @Sundance, They are NOT trying too copy Melania’s style..
Reminds ME of a young J. L. Kennedy..
Same feeble imagery either way.
It’s not even fair putting her picture next to those icons.
I keep saying it….. DeSantis doesn’t have Trumps money to run independent of the RNC. So yes there has to be some compromise there. How much won’t be clear unless he wins the POTUS race. Sure I prefer Trump but Ron D has a better chance because the GOPe thinks he’s theirs. Tough call but we need to support Trump but if Ron wins the nomination we need to back him and pray.
If you compromise on the “little things” you will fold and compromise on all the important things as well.
I want someone with a spine, like me, who suffers the slings and arrows of unrighteous attacks for speaking truth.
If you are a liar, there is NO TRUTH IN YOU.
It is not so much that you lied, but that I will never trust you again.
You will know a tree by the fruit it bears.
If you do not have the fortitude to fight the corruption, stay out of the ring, because you will just add to and spread the corruption otherwise.
As far as Casey DeSantis copying the style of Melania, she fails. Her hairstyle is lovely, but the color of the dress is wrong for her and the style is not flattering to her. In fact, Ron’s suit is either a poor fit or he is getting bottom heavy.
I’m sure Casey’s dress was a Vogue pattern that she whipped up on her Singer sewing machine. Home spun authenticity! 🤣
Bush family revenge is right.
Clap now Jeb.
Sorry Casey, but in that get-up you only look like the lady in the ” Oooh…Fireworks!” meme.
Jeb Bush. “The kiss of Death” How could the DeSantis handlers be so clueless?
I think Casey DeSantis is a beautiful lady in her own right. Almost anyone can pose for Vogue these days with the wondrous cosmetics and wardrobe assistance. She is a lovely wife, mother, and cancer survivor. What comes from Melania Trump is different and her own brand. It can’t be copied. What came from Jackie Kennedy was unique. It cannot be copied.
BTW, I thought DeSantis delivered his speech as though speaking through a tin can…..and it was mechanical……and too high pitched.
If I wanted to impress the nation, I wouldn’t have chosen Jeb Bush to be so visible. We are not impressed.
He has a high-pitched nasally voice.
That’s him. Mechanical and nasal.
Thank you so much Jeb for showing up!! You are like the kiss of death! Isn’t this all the evidence we need? Since when does Jeb like our people? Ha ha ha! I can’t tell you how happy I am that Jeb! showed up to this inaugural event.
Way overdone. Since when is a Governor’s inauguration a Gala? Can’t find any interest for the Puppet or his Jill type wife.
MS Desantis is a copycat; First Lady Melania wore gloves on inaugural in 2017. OAN reporter was like: ” Ms Desantis was stunning and may just bring back the gloves”.. Ahhhh, hello.
Our First Lady Melania was and is always stunning!! ❤
OAN went all in for DeSanctimonious a couple of months ago. I turned them off.
That’s just sad, OAN.
Everyone know First Lady Melania Trump brought gloves back in vogue.
OAN has gone daffy. What a shame.
why would you wear big white gloves in Florida? is it cold there now?
in fact why would anyone wear long white gloves like that?
it’d be great if she put on some fuzzy ear muffs
I agree about the gloves. They look like gloves a little girl would pull out of an old trunk to play dress-up…all crumply and ill-fitting.
They don’t go with the mint gown ensemble either.
Shades of Jackie.
My first reaction.
Won’t work.
And how!
Jackie from the neck up
Melania from the neck down
Am I wrong or did Melania wear an evening gown like this
She did several times. At three on visits to England – A yellow, a red and a yellow and purple. A Winter white number at a Governor’s ball at the white house, ivory in Tokyo and purple in Saudia Arabia.
Not an attractive color or look imho.
Jackie Kennedy Onasis vibe…hence the “camelot” quip by Sundance ( I think)….
but no it was not cold in Florida today…. although it was about two weeks ago
Rons PR bros were trying to evoke Camelot and Jackie.
Oh?
If so, and it likely was, it was another fail by team desanctimonious.
Imagine the fun Trump and Melania are having with this stunt. Just thinking about the comedic possibilities makes me smile.
“PR bros”…I’m with JEB!
Who were the ad wizards that came up with that one?
They were overpaid for this charm offensive. Please clap.
I’ll never forget Jeb….his campaign fading……yet he had the money……..saying to the people, “Look, I can do this”. God it was awful. He was just BEGGING. Trounced by Trump. Beautiful.
I remember white gloves. It’s what older women used to wear to church in the 1960s.
Or the opera
Yeah, actually, it *has* been cold here.
But I’m pretty sure those fancy gloves are also worn in summer.
Seems Jackie Kennedy wore ’em year round.
They’re a fashion statement, not worn for warmth. But you probably already knew that.
“They’re a fashion statement”.
Statement made == My taste in fashion rivals Jill Bidens.
Hopefully you ” already knew that”.
Melania she is not. It is ridiculous and insulting to see them play their psyop games.
Wearing long gloves at an event where men aren’t in tuxedos, during the day, in Florida == a Republican version of Jill Biden tier trashy
I have some similar looking gloves that I wear when I garden.
