After a mishap-laden and underwhelming soft rollout, the Ron DeSantis for President campaign needed to project an aura of credibility and competence tonight. You'd think that even the most clownish staff could manage to pull that off, at some point — at least once. Especially with a big assist from Elon Musk.
Alas, for them, it was not to be. The much-touted "Twitter spaces campaign announcement" crashed and burned just now with moments of silence, microphone echoes, and other hiccups. Thirty minutes later, they were finally able to start the broadcast, but how many of their mere 100,000 listeners had they lost by then? And all the headlines will be about the technical difficulties, not anything DeSantis said.
Dark Brandon wasted no time making fun of the whole thing (see above). And goodness gracious, we can't wait until Benedict Donald weighs in! He'll be brutal.
So, not a bad day. In addition to Rhonda's and Elon's rapid unscheduled disassembly, Trump is all mad about his March 2024 court date, and the dude who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk on January 6 got sentenced to four-plus years in the hoosegow. We cats PURR.
UPDATE: The rapid unscheduled disassembly ended up with an audience of 300,000. That compares unfavorably with AOC's video game stint on Twitch (430,000) and April the giraffe giving birth (1.2 million).
