One of the key aspects to noticing a controlled candidate is the speech, cadence and distinct linguistics used during prepared remarks.
When a candidate is authentic in delivery of advocacy points, their speech is a natural flow of thoughts and ideas they create in verbal delivery. However, when a politician is delivering a speech constructed for them, using the thoughts of others, you will notice a cadence constructed around a series of soundbites that are strung together.
Ron DeSantis kicked-off his official Iowa campaign today literally reading prepared remarks that did not come from his own thought processes. When delivering a speech from the thoughts of others, there is an emphasis on the reading of it; in the example we highlight today with DeSantis the reading is extreme. You can see below.
This is not to say that speech writers are not useful, they are. Almost all politicians use speech writers to assist them in putting their thoughts into words to assist communication. The key is to use the candidates’ thoughts. However, when the thoughts themselves are not from the candidate, there is a very different outcome in delivery.
This is what becomes very visible with Ron DeSantis.
As candidates, Dr. Ben Carson and Newt Gingrich wrote most of their speech scripts and delivered their own thoughts on points of policy and advocacy. President Trump also communicates his own thoughts through speeches written from them. When the thoughts are from the candidate, you will notice a tone of authenticity in the delivery. Speeches delivered by people like Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson also communicate with authenticity because the thoughts conveyed are their own.
Conversely, in traditional politics there are candidates who do not convey their own thoughts and end up reading speeches that are disjointed with emphasis misplaced, syllables in wrong context, and carrying an odd syntax and cadence. The more disconnected from the thoughts of the reader, the odder the delivery.
The worst examples of reading other people’s thoughts to assist their own communication, come from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Governor Nikki Haley also struggles with this, and to a lesser extent so does Mike Pence and other well-known republicans.
Three of the more noticeable political figures, somewhere in the middle of the extremes was Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and George ‘Dubya’ Bush. The best orator to transfer the thoughts of others into his own linguistic delivery was probably Barack Obama. One of the reasons for Obama’s success was due to his team all having the same ideological outlooks. Obama delivered convincing words because his thoughts and the thoughts of his speech writers were in synergy.
The bottom line is that when a political operation is poll-testing, highly managed and heavily scripted, there is a noticeable lack of authenticity in the speeches of the candidate. The reason is quite simple; the speeches are assembled from disconnected ‘talking points’ or ‘soundbites’ and then an effort is put toward sequencing them for candidate communication.
Once you notice the issue of reading the ‘thoughts of others‘ it is almost impossible not to see it when you watch the speech being delivered. This issue is very clear today in the remarks from Ron DeSantis in Iowa. Unbeknownst to most casual political observers, DeSantis has always been heavily influenced and managed by others throughout his career. However, now it is starting to become more noticeable.
The venue is a mega-church in Des Moines. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds introduces Ron DeSantis to the church audience, and immediately the Florida governor starts reading the script. Watch how much time he spends literally reading the words. WATCH for a minute and you will see:
.


He took the globalist bait. He sold his soul for the spotlight. The nwo feared him in ’28 as almost the entire MAGA base was for him. That has now changed forever and he has allowed himself to be destroyed politically. How many pieces of silver Ron ?
DeSantis IS the bait. He hasn’t sold his soul, he’s ALWAYS been a big-government-teat-sucking globalist. Everything ‘good’ he did in Florida was not for the good of Floridians, he did it in hopes of convincing MAGA people nationwide into voting for him for president. He has not changed. Traitors following their own instinct to betray need no pieces of silver to carry out those desires. The silver he has received is to make sure he carries out the made to order policies of his globalist donors.
I agree. I believe that every policy he put forth in Florida was designed to make him look like another Trump and it was part of the grooming to replace Trump. In hindsight, it’s pretty obvious.
You are 1000% correct. Meatball WAS NEVER MAGA. Never, never, ever. He merely played MAGA during campaign season. Then his handlers allowed his to do token MAGA moves that addressed SOCIAL ISSUES on a small scale to fool us into thinking that he was tough like Trump but without the mean tweets.
Ultimately, he is a phony and always was a phony.
If almost the entire MAGA base was for him, then that doesn’t say much for the MAGA base now, does it?
Brian is completely wrong as the trump base has never been for DeSantis.

Maybe Adam Schiff, et al, can accuse DeS campaign of working with Russia in election interference. Can anyone photoshop Putin’s head on the guy running the the secret radio operation?
Wow I always thought that W or K was the American designation in ham radio. Been out now fer about 3 decades. Former WA3HOF
“God bless you SO MUCH” ? What is that? He even has to read “thank you” and “God bless you”, then goes dyslexic on that!
Tucker Carlson was obviously reading from a script on his (former) cable show.
His thoughts over the years have been all over the place and now are supposedly
in the MAGA or at the very least conservative sphere. He has become an icon
of conservative truth.
However, I suggest we exercise caution; he is afterall, part of what Don Henley
would characterize as “Dirty Laundry”. He should not (yet at least) be given
the Andrew Breitbart or Rush Limbaugh trophy.
For sure. He is definitely not in the league of “El Rushmo” for sure!
You missed the point. Carlson’s script was of his own thoughts and words. DeSaster’s script is not.
I am so stealing that……..DeSaster!!!! LOL
Exactly right – thanks for pointing that out to everyone.
Tucker has been pretty open about how his views have changed, based on talking to people outside the news business. I’m sure it’s much harder to see what regular people are going through and what they are thinking about when you’re in that bubble and are never around them.
Tucker wrote his monologues.
I expect I could count the number of acceptable people on one hand.
Nothing more annoying than a Wife who thinks she is more important than the Man actually doing the job.

Talk about SKETCH.
I knew this sounded too familiar. DeceptiCON RON! and his very lazy and expensive hacks are just as bad as Biden. They can’t even choose a campaign slogan that hasn’t been used by someone else in the last few years.

The Great American Recovery and The Great American Comeback were used by President Trump to reopen America after the alleged “slow the spread” lockdown. His goal was Easter 2020, but the states, including most R guvs shut him down, thereby shutting down the American people. Didn’t matter. It didn’t stop him. He went back on the trail and worked to reopen the economy anyway and did a roaring good job.
It was also used at the 2020 RNC convention.
How quickly these peons forget…
In fact, Donald Trump was dubbed “The Comeback King” in 1995.

“The best of America is yet to come.”
Sounds very familiar too. Another slightly tweaked 2020 RNC Convention slogan.
DeSantis should give up and run from his basement as Biden is famous for, and just let others talk for him. We could call it the Basement Election
No basements in Florida.
But maybe he can find a cabana.
No, put Meatball in a sandcastle; after all, his foundation is built on it
I’m out. I’m a daily visitor here for years, but I can’t take the Desantis bashing anymore. There are far bigger issues for conservatives to be concerned about. Sundance, find something else to focus on.
Bye Kevin.
it’s not “bashing”. It’s illuminating the dark corners one at a time until everyone can see. DeSantis is not America First.
Bye Karen.
Bye
Kevin, what would 3 or 4 of those issues be?
More important are for example Illegal immigration mess, foolish war in Ukraine, children’s poor math and reading scores, etc. But it makes sense to focus on desantis during next few weeks when he makes his big initial swings in Iowa South Carolina New Hampshire Nevada trying to jump start his campaign. Then when desantis’ polls don’t get better , or get worse , we can definitively declare desantis finished and we will move on to other subjects
“See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya”-Nino Brown-“New Jack City”
I bet you believe Elon is magnanimous and for the people, too!
The people who fought against MAGA policies for the working class are the same people behind DeSantis, like the Paul Ryan Republicans. They don’t like Trump? Fine. However, they went beyond that and fought against MAGA policies. For me, I cannot support a candidate that those people are pushing. I am glad to see their playbook exposed.
Nothing is bigger than NOT having a candidate than REALLY represents the interests of the Working and Middle Class conservative citizen.
Well……BYE!
Golly.
The bigger issues will never be addressed by a neocon globalist. If a neocon globalist is put into power as president, you can kiss your issues away. The only issues they will be concerned about is how to make more money from tax payers.
Bye
👍
I have found during the past several years that Sundance’s take on people in government and the political world have been spot on despite my initial skepticism on reading his comments.
Have a sense sir, you’ll find a “home” more to your liking, with less factual information. Possibilities are endless……………
Is that you, Little Ronny?
bye bye
Oh no… I hope Sundance can continue despite this tragic news.
Your issue is the voluminous data that indicate how totally Ron DeSantis is a controlled candidate for the GOPe. His rhetoric is good , a no d he advocates policies you and I agree with. The Deep State prefers Ron over Trump. That fact ought to overweigh your despair. Trump is your candidate. And I think deep down you know it. Stay in the fight please. And when it comes time to join Trump, please bring your DeSantis wing over.
You miss the point. Our country is at stake. Much depends on WHO is going to be running our country next – MUCH. If you’re not up for the fight, then leave the battlefield with our blessings.
Whenever someone ANNOUNCES that they’re leaving, I never believe it. Never. To me, it’s just someone wanting to kick up some dust and create turmoil so they can read the comments. Well guess what Kevin, nobody is going to beg you to stay. In fact, I’d bet most are happy to see you go.
if you think DeSantis, will fight the deep state when he is supported by founder members, you deserve each other.
And we all know that the “fight against Disney that Republicans are lining up against?? (him) on,” contrary to what many Republican voters might think after reading the BIG headlines six months ago, is just beginning. Nothing has been accomplished to date and this won’t be settled until after DeS leaves office (I’m betting on Disney, whether it’s he who drops the ball, gets bored with the fight, or his successor decides to let sleeping dogs lie). DeS can be thankful that he’ll have this issue unresolved to use in his stump speeches with cheers from the crowd with no thought as to how and why he was outmaneuvered by Disney after the BIG announcement.
Disney has filed lawsuits against DeSantis. They will wait him out until there is another governor, I suspect. I doubt it will be resolved in the courts before DeSantis’ term is up.
From the beginning, I have suspected that Disney and DeSantis’s owners choreographed this all out 2 years ago.
There sure are a lot of Ron DeSantis articles here of late.
Why are you giving him so much press?
Yeah, I know, many of them are negative…but remember the old saying, “bad press is better than no press”.
Because he is a several megaton warhead hanging over Americans and people like you are counting the articles.
Please wake up.
Putting a neocon globalist anywhere near the White House who is interested in continuing wars, you may see that warhead from some other power detonate on us all.
Because the participants on this terrific site are prescient.
If “bad press is better than no press” is true then, by now, everyone here would be rabid Ron! fans. There is nothing wrong with discussing a phony “maga” candidate who actually wants to keep PDJT and the people who voted for him from having his second presidential term.
Sundance exposes serious corruption and snakeynous of the Deep State, and the Treepers here then do more homework and provide receipts of said corruption and snakeynous.
More trees are being planted.
And where pray tell do you expect folks to become educated in the FACTS?
These articles are factual……….just happens the content is negative, because the man is a real threat to the nation.
clearly you dont understand this site
This guy has been cloned into being a Bush Family member. Leaning more towards “The New World Order” day by day. SD is right again: there are trillions at stake.
Almost everything he says is something President Trump has said over and over and over again, only better.
Do the right thing Ron!
Resign To Run!
Clearly, RDS is an ambitious man! Too bad he’s so shallow with very little character. Some integrity would be a nice addition as well. Hopefully, Americans will not be deceived by this globalist kabuki puppet. The nation can’t abide another nail in its coffin, which is exactly what DeSantis would be.
Weird guy. I almost feel bad that he is being used, he knows it, he doesnt like it, but he likes the money and the adulation from people who are confused.
I watched the entire video. Here’s what I found interesting:
The first part of the speech was painful- gauche, awkward, painful, stiff.
The Casey part of the speech was way too rushed, poor delivery, seemed like she was trying to emulate Hilary Clinton in ‘92.
The last part of the speech by DeSaster was much more authentic, because he was talking about what he’s done as governor. Much more familiar.
He spoke little about economics. She talked a lot about economics…and her kids.
All in all an embarrassing effort.
The economic success he has enjoyed as Governor in Florida is because of President Trump’s massive federal deregulation and President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Never let anyone forget this!
Yes, yes, yes!!!
And a good bit of the huge 20% win he had is likely due to a record number of Republicans/conservatives fleeing Noo Yawk, Joisey and other blue hell-holes for the low taxes and second best climate in the country. (Anyone know resources that might break down those migration demographics entering and leaving by state and political affiliation?)
That also might have played a significant part of why zeroes with atrocious records like Whittmer, Hochul, Fetterman, et al, managed to win from their basements.
Same for Kari Lake, who, despite cheating from the McCain wing of the Uniparty, still only lost by 17,000 votes. I’d bet lots more R’s than that moved to AZ from CA, OR, WA.
Boring slogan after slogan after slogan strung together, by both of them.
When does it end?
I also heard a lot of Don, Jr. in this speech.
Anyone else notice the POWDER BLUE DRESS on the Mrs? HHHMMMMM – now where did I see that color before??????
and you Casey ARE NO MELANIA TRUMP!!!
Or Jackie O..she was wearing white gloves a few days ago..the speech delivery was bad.
Painful, weak, and sad. DeSantis is not a public speaker, because he is not genuine. Sad, but he chose to heed the siren’s call, not the call of God.
His nasal voice annoys me. Someone should have given him some voice training along with that canned speech. When will he refund the salary Florida pays him not to do the job they hired him for six months ago?
Ben Shapiro is DeSantis’ voice coach…
🤣 🤣 🤣
Fran’s looking down, laughing 🥰
The Nanny’s passing was an internet hoax.
Let me guess.. at some point he says that ethanol is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If DeSantis were to be the official candidate for president, the MSM would immediately bring up the question of what his possible involvement was at Guantanomo.
Politicians number one they are liars and number two the are cheaters.
Then there is Trump.
He is right again!
Who would have thought that deranged desantis could end up being more of an enemy than the democrats.
What an evil, satonic society we live in.
https://www.youtube.com/live/JkUM8F8sARc?feature=share the persecutions of Christian and Catholic minorities by Modi’s party fundamentalist factions goes on. Being one of them who had to watch some of them practicing Karate and martial arts as they perceived us minorities a threat it’s embarassing to see folks who turn a blind eye to religious persecution. Same thing about Elon. In the end what matters is victory and funding?
Who calls their husband The Governor?! Is that required by Ron!?
First Lady Melania called The President my husband or Donald.
You should see what he makes her do when they play Hail to the Chief.
I keep going back to Charlie Kirk on the evening of DeceptiCON RON!’s fake announcement.
Here’s What Everyone is Missing From the DeSantis 2024 Announcement
https://rumble.com/v2q1qh2-heres-what-everyone-is-missing-from-the-desantis-2024-announcement.html
Charlie Kirk is a bought shill for DeSantis. He took the money. What’s interesting is that even he was critical of the announcement, but that is a surface criticism of methods and tools.
The real criticism would have been the DeSantis globalist policies. His billionaire globalist campaign donors and his neocon support of “forever wars”. And Charlie Kirk will not touch those.
Charlie is for Trump 2024 all the way, which you would know if you actually listened to this clip.
Charlie Kirk is “friends” with Meatball
And a lot of other people too, and he’s still for Trump 2024.
Two Laine, Sundance called it. Here is one article. Just like Shapiro, Charlie Kirk wants the money.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/01/26/on-eve-of-rnc-election-ron-desantis-predictably-endorses-harmeet-dhillon-for-rnc-chair
And you haven’t read his Truth Social posts that only went on his timeline.
So, you’re saying Desantis is a politician?
Damn, shocking.
A treasonous weasel.
And we don’t need any more of those. We are plum full of treasonous weasels at the moment.
Number one: Bare shoulders on a woman not at an evening fancy-dress event are low class.
Number two: It is extremely off-putting when a speaker is clearly reading their remarks. It appears, as Sundance points out, that the speaker is simply pronouncing the thoughts of others. And Ron is NOT good at it.
Number three: The blue nail polish is also inappropriate.
Honestly, neither one knows how to dress for success.
…thanks for the shot of the small room and the small crowd.
Ronny D sounds like a Yankee chipmunk and the small crowd sounds like they are trying too hard to be spontaneous. Sad.
Faky fake fraud frumpy dough boy….he couldn’t even greet his audience without reading off the cover page.
He was at the RNB convention last week. Stiff and robotic. Same feeling that he’s just reading the teleprompter and what he says isn’t genuine. Even when he put his hand in his pocket to attempt to look natural and relaxed it look uncomfortable and staged.
You’d think if he wants to be the President so badly that he could articulate his own thoughts on the matter. Evidently not. He sounds totally fake, like any other run-of-the-mill politician
DeXX the documented double-crosser.
…..No one likes a double-crosser, no one
……….Except another double-crosser
……………Remember that when you see the people who support him
………………..You can’t trust anything they say or do
…………………….Because they will double-cross you too.
Fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me.
“Let’s go Brandon the democrats and the GOPe, especially the DeXX gang!”
DeSantis makes Jeb Bush look exciting and charismatic
Nah.
That’s a stretch. LOL
If RDS, had any independent thought process of his own he would have teamed up with Trump, worked out a deal as his running mate / VP. The Trump, RDS ticket would have been unstoppable then RDS could have the presidency in 28 without question.
Little does RDS realize he has become the paper trained puppy who no longer pee’s on the carpet, and nothing more.
This is all based on the assumption we can have a fair election.
I counted a little over 150 in this picture—blowout launch.
Painful to watch, even for a minute. The description of what would be seen…………spot on as always.
How disappointing to see the REAL ron. The contrast between him and the REAL President Trump is stunning.
President Trump loves America and her people…………….ron loves himself.
I always think this when I listen to Marco Rubio. I think he has a great ability to memorize, but he sounds like a recording to me. He’s another Harvard guy. Sometimes the kids who make it into prestigious colleges are the ones who know how to sling the BS the best.
We knew all along that the Establishment/Uniparty was going to put up an anti-Trump. The prepping of someone to oppose President Trump from the right has been in the works since the day President Trump was declared the winner in ’16. That effort has culminated in DeSantis as the most acceptable candidate to subvert MAGA voters away from the one who started it all.
For myself, I look at who’s financing the candidate to see who they’re beholden to. For this reason Desantis is off the list of anyone I can support.
Rhonda is plastic.
That’s why Joni Ernst, the rubber escort for old guys, endorsed Rhonda.
I believe the catch phrase amongst the queer population of homosexuals and bisexuals after I reached the age of majority was “keeping it real”. There is no difference between progressive/moderate/libertarian Republicans and Democrats. You still have not convinced me yet since the aforementioned political groups have aided and abetted the culture war against women and minors since 1947.
Here the listener at least saw his face; so it was not as bad as the announcement speech on audio twitterspace, where the listener was obliged to hear him read a pre-recorded monotone speech without seeing him do it
Ever noticed how much he sounds like Bill Gates?
And his speaking mannerisms recall actor Wallace Shawn. So he’s basically Vizzini from Princess Bride with Bill Gates’ voice.
Don’t see it. First of all, he’s talking about the issues he has been fighting for in his own state for the past four years. This is his wheelhouse. He’s not trying to remember other people’s ideas. What we have is a case of seeing and hearing what you want to see and hear. He doesn’t have to fake any of what I heard him say in this speech. This is what he has been doing since he became Governor.
ZZZZZ-zzzzzzz-ZZZZZZzzzzzzz.. Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey!!
He closed my beach. I barely avoided a ticket being on my beach just 1 hour before it officially reopened. I told the cop ‘Opps, I’m on Eastern time’. Panama City Beach is central time-zone. ONE HOUR! Facists all.
Had a hard time NOT picturing the mouse ears on him.
Worse still, he even sounds like a mouse. I can’t picture him delivering anything serious—such as a 9/11 type address.
Admin—didn’t mean to flag that comment! Didn’t know how to unflagging it! Sorry!
Given enough rope, they will show their character.
He’s a ghost. Anyone can see through his mirage.
I couldn’t finish his insincere remarks.
Yup, he is a carefully crafted illusion!!! When forced to think on his feet he comes off as total DUNCE!!! 🥴
That is not quite true. He can think on his feet when he is addressing an issue he feels strongly about and is comfortable with his presentation of. There is a real difference in his speech pattern when he talks about immigration or grooming than other topics. But, yes, he is carefully crafted and that is part of the problem. It shows.
<We have an Idiot reading a speech…again.>
Life is a tale…
Told by an idiot…
Full of sound and fury…
Signifying nothing.
