This debate was nothing more than a fanboy circle jerk for both sides. No one actually learned anything.
100% of Republicans will say that DeSantis destroyed Newsom and 100% of Democrats will say the opposite. And nothing will be learned by anyone. What a waste.
As a Newsom hater, it brings me no joy to admit he was very good at this.
Humiliated!
I could only stomach so much of it. I like Newsom well enough but he reminds me of The [Smiler](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/gary-callahan/4005-15817/) from Transmetropolitan. It was briefly amusing to watch DeSantis try to fight his own face, grimacing whenever he wasn’t speaking.
Hannity and DeSantis should have seen this coming; Newsom does his homework and is an effective debater.
I think of this as a practice run for Newsom. No clear winner and not much was learned. Score it as “WE WON!/WE WON!” DeSantis’ perpetual poop face was comical to watch.
When republicans command a debate it’s because theyre assertive, if Democrats do it’s because they’re so mean!
Why was there a debate between DeSantis and Newsom again?
In news that should surprise no one, the treason supporters at r/conservative are saying Desantis won:
The reason Newsom won, imo, is because he has the balls to go on their turf and talk to them.
He looks into the camera and he never insulted the “American voters.”
By contrast, DeSantis would never go on cnn against Newsom, yelled over everything he didnt like, and resorted to personal attacks every time, and insulted California and Californians every chance he got.
I can promise you that the DeSantis followers are saying the opposite thing about the debate. I remember thinking that Hillary destroyed Trump in their debates only to realize they thought he won!
TGIF! So excited to watch this
My takeaway from this is that if the dems are going to run Biden, Newsom would be a pretty solid VP pick.
Desantis was a torturer in Guantanamo. He’s just going with what he knows
Duke Newsom went to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and he was all out of bubblegum.
Stalemate, nothing was accomplished. DeSantis fans think he won and Newsom fans think he won.
Let the ocean take back Florida.
Hahaha, Gavin did not win that debate.
I don’t know what debate this outlet watched but it was definitely the opposite.
I guess I need to go back and rewatch. I turned it off 15 minutes in because it was so one sided and DeSantis couldn’t shut his trap long enough for Newsom to get a word in.
He genuinely is offended by DeSantis
Deadsantis should pack it soon, he’s done
Gavin Woke him tf up!
Newsom was presented facts from CDC and he still lied about it. All he did was tell lies and smirk. Not a fan of DeSantis but Newsom did not win the debate.
“POlItiCIaN diSINteGRAteS”
If we didn’t worship our political parties like sports teams and back them no matter what we would have governance.
DeSantis looked like a winner to the MAGA crowd.
Woke this and woke that . He had a copy of a story that showed SF like a dark, dirty city.
“destroyed” What click bait.
It’s like calling a bully “a bully.” Wow, you DESTROYED that bully.
Ask any right wing outlet or voter and this headline will be flipped. “Woke Gavin Newsome destroyed by Ron Desantis in debate.” The right has their own reality.
Newsome went in as a Democrat with a MAGA dumbass Governor, a MAGA liar and biased moderator on a MAGA “news” network and still moped the FLOOR with my Governor.. For the life of me I have no idea why DeSatan called out Newsome when he, with Florida’s inflation at 9% while the rest of the country is at 3.4%. 13000 teacher shortage and 50th in teacher pay. Banned 1406 books like The Life of Rosa Parks because he said no racists books, go figure.
15 top homeowner insurance companies left and we’re now paying between $4k-7500 a year for insurance. Top State on gun deaths and he LAXED the gun policy which EXPLODED gun deaths, and all he’s doing is campaigning for a job he won’t get and 41% BELOW Trump in his own State.. Not to mention he pissed off The First Wives Club, a Republican group of 3500 older, white women when he signed away Lifetime Alimony. They have stated they will do everything they can to make sure he never holds office again. The ads they put out are crushing him!!
I’m looking on twitter/X and I see constant barrage by alt right users saying Desantis won the debate
You can’t trust bias users
DeSantis feet hurt.
Attacking DeSantis with stuff like “You demean and humiliate” only wins the argument that people who already agree are watching. Over in alternative facts world those are both high praise.
Desantis won the first part of the debate as Newsom failed to address some data and statistics about California on migration and COVID.
As the show went on, Newsom overcame the harsh environment and was able to hold his own against Hannity whose bias showed up against California and the left wing ideology.
In the end it was a wash with no clear winner and more for entertainment than anything.
