Elise "Elsie" Stefanik got a brief respite from being dragged (see above) on social media today when news broke that Ron DeSadness — an amusing new nickname, yes? — was dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race. Good for Elsie, although SAD! for Ron. And Casey.
You had to know this was coming, though, since word the last night was that, at the last minute, Rhonda was canceling his appearances on Sunday-morning TV. That's funny — wasn't going on what he called "the corporate shows" supposed to be his next great reboot? How simply frightful. How humiliating. How delightful!
Twitter is super-fun on days like this. From Gavin Newsom promoting fire sales on Rhonda merch to fake sympathy for "Tacky Onassis" to jokes about "Never Back Down" backing down, it's a delicious sea of schadenfreude. But our favorite observation comes from Greg Sargent of The New Republic:
"DeSantis's implosion is more confirmation that anti-woke politics has completely fizzled," he said. "DeSantis organized his entire governorship and campaign on this theme. Now, Moms for Liberty is losing everywhere, Youngkin failed disastrously, and 'Where Woke Goes to Die' Ron is kaput."
And of course, because he has no soul, Rhonda immediately threw his support to Benedict Donald today. (This is exactly what, back on November 30, Newsom predicted would happen.) Which means, we guess, that Nikki Haley — fresh off an endorsement from the New Hampshire Union-Leader — will have to double-down on her Trump-is-not-well-mentally-and-too-old shtick between now and Tuesday. But then how will she turn around and back Trump after she drops out, too? We cats wonder. In the meantime, we PURR.
