Deplorable listless vessel gaffes again

“Well, we’ve never done this before. But seeing as it’s special circumstances and all, he says I can knock a hundred dollars off that Trucoat.”
Particularly for a Republican, you know your campaign is circling the drain when Politico is willing to stick the knife in:
The Trump campaign and MAGA world on Saturday blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for remarks appearing to label some of the former president’s supporters “listless vessels.”
“DeSantis goes full-blown Hillary and call[s] MAGA supporters ‘Listless Vessels,’” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote on X, referring to a DeSantis interview with The Florida Standard in which the GOP presidential candidate stated that a strong conservative movement needed to be based on principles.
“A movement can’t be about the personality of one individual,” DeSantis said. “If all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”
A Trump-aligned super PAC also blasted DeSantis’ statement.
“To Hillary Clinton, Trump supporters are ‘deplorables.’ To Ron DeSantis, they are ‘listless vessels.’ The truth is, Trump supporters are patriots,” MAGA, Inc. spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “DeSantis must immediately apologize for his disgraceful insult.”
Not a lot of RON DESANTIS WON THE WEEK! stories right now even in previously sympathetic outlets.
Speaking of listless, he looks like shit here. He looks like he’s in such rough shape you’d think he was an institution of higher education being run by Ron DeSantis:
OMG!!! He’s broken. Crushed. It’s over. Wow. I almost feel sorry for him. Not quite, but almost. pic.twitter.com/kZuQYQBlmL— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) August 20, 2023
I’m not saying that anyone who has ever used some variation of the cliche “if you’re catching flak from all sides that means you’re over the target” is a massive loser, but I don’t know how else to finish that sentence.
You wonder if he’s going to survive until Iowa voters decide to kick him out of his proverbial dorm to a Motel 6 20 miles from campus, of if he’ll just make the decision on his own.
