The big takeaway from DeSantis' DeBacle yesterday.

[Yavin4]

His campaign staff are rank amateurs, not ready for the big leagues. The primary job for any presidential campaign staff is to put your candidate in the best possible situations. You have to ensure that major events like a kickoff announcement go off without a hitch. The whole thing should have been worked out in advance. Any sliver of a doubt about the set up means scratch it and go with an alternative plan.

Now, it could've been possible that DeSantis insisted on doing this above the objections of his staff, but that shows that he has no faith in his staff or that his staff has no way to influence him. If that is true, then that means that he's going to run a national campaign against Trump pretty much by himself which is just more disasters waiting to happen.

We can safely assume that there are no Jim Bakers or James Carvilles or David Axlerods or David Plouffes or Jen O'Malley Dillons around him.

1. I think that's a safe bet.

The rubes don’t care, unfortunately. However, I hope the DeBacles keep coming fast and furious.

[Yavin4]

2. Sure. His fans won't care, but they're not enough.

Not nearly enough. He's the underdog. He has to make the case that he will be a better nominee than Trump just like Obama did in the 2008 primaries.

3. no chit

Ever heard of a mic check, or a dry run, or a "rehearsal?"

Or maybe the woke mob sabotaged his event. Yeah, that's it!!

[Yavin4]

4. Or a simple simulation of 10 million users hitting the site all at the same time.

I'm sure this is something that Twitter's engineers can simulate. Someone should have ensured that this was the case. If not, go to plan B.

[RussBLib]

6. oh yeah, this is the internet we're talking about

all bets are off....my brain seems stuck in the land of TV, which is probably where this should have happened.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. He would have been much better off if he'd chosen that route.

Guess he thought he'd look "cool" to the twitterverse.

[LisaM]

18. What engineers?

Do they have any left?

[sdfernando]

21. Yeah but the loon

Eloon fired most of the Twitter staff….so there is that too.

[dembotoz]

5. would have been a wow if it had worked

suddenly if twitter could host tv network like numbers
folks laugh at tucker talking about his twitter show....They would not be laughing today if he could have demonstrated the ability to host a nationwide twitter call.

[Yavin4]

9. Twitch, YouTube hosts these kinds of events every day.

It wouldn't have been that big of a deal.

[Scrivener7]

7. DeBacle.

[BlackSkimmer]

15. I know, I spewed my tea!

Posts like that keep me coming back to this place lol!

[tazkcmo]

8. His wife runs the campaign

So, even worse than rank amateurs, you have a biased sycophant amateur.

[Yavin4]

10. He's cooked.

Like a Thanksgiving turkey.

[erronis]

11. Sort of like Gindie Thomas running the SCOTUS?

Maam, can I see your credentials?

[pirsquared]

17. Casey DiAblo

His wife is a vicious anti-gay, rw evangelical.

She is as ugly on the inside as on the outside.

[BlackSkimmer]

12. "DeSantis' DeBacle"

Oh, very well played!!!

[erronis]

13. This reflects even worse on eloon musky. Wasn't he supposed to provide the platform?

Of course he got rid of anyone with that might be more intelligent than him (80%?)

This all reflects well on the repugs and libertarians being able to run a government, right? NOT.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Don't launch with unproven software on shaken company helmed by guy new to the biz. . . . nt

[Bev54]

19. Likely approved by his wife.

[markodochartaigh]

20. "...just more disasters waiting to happen."

One person's disaster is another person's delight.
"Roasting chestnuts on a dumpster fire, Jack Smith nipping at Trump's lies, Ronnie's campaign being crashed by a Mouse, And Twitter going up in smoke."
