  1. TL;DR:

    * Ron DeSantis invested substantial time and money in his unsuccessful quest to win the Iowa caucuses.
    * The governor handily lost to Trump and spent nearly $1,500 per vote in the critical Iowa contest.
    * Meanwhile, the Trump campaign spent less ad money yet easily won the caucuses with 51% of the vote.

  2. You mean the anti vax lunatic whose only accomplishment is fighting his states biggest employer Wasn’t popular among voters? No way!

  3. He visited 99 counties and lost 98 of them. Do you think he got the hint?

  4. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m starting to think that maybe Republicans are not fiscally responsible on… literally anything.

  5. Key take away from this is that Trump spent half of what Haley and DeSantis individually spent and still won by a lot.

  6. This has to be some kind of record from an ROI standpoint.

  7. The figure can also be written as “$35 million per participation trophy.”

    You can get them for $5 apiece *with engraved characters*, so he overspent by a factor of 7 million.

  8. Meanwhile people here in Florida are facing the highest inflation in the country and the insurance crisis. Too bad our governor moved to Iowa for the last six months to get completely destroyed in a primary.

  9. Politics and law are a business venture in this shit hole and nothing else.

  10. Okay, everybody prepare to throw your heads back and move them forward, then laugh.

  11. He had a big surge from people reading news articles from him and then they started hearing him speak. No Charisma. No charm. Boyish voice. You can’t be president when you’re all that.

  12. For $1500 I could be pursued to vote for desantis in the primary 

  13. What’s funny is that selling himself as “new Trump” might have worked in 2028. DeSantis isn’t exactly old, why not wait until Trump isn’t on the ballot?

    The only answer that makes sense to me is that DeSantis is not confident that Trump will win in 2024, and therefore worries that Trump WILL be on the ballot in 2028.

  14. Saying some politician spent x amount of money per vote is saying the quiet part out loud.

  15. I love a smooth, 50/50 blend of “schaden” and “freude.”

  16. Good I hope he runs out of money and has to return those boots.

  17. Can I get the number of these donors that are blowing all this money? I have a bridge they might be interested in

  18. Thats like 3 Stormy Daniels. Please someone correct my math if im wrong. Im not good at Maths

  19. If the dude had the stones to stand up to Trump, he might have had a chance. They will all get what they deserve for their loyalty to the insurrectionist.
