(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 When I finally switched off the Red State vs. Blue State debate between Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom on FOX News last night, I thought DeSantis had won a unanimous decision on points.
\u00a0
What I didn\u2019t know until this morning was that it was actually a TKO.
\u00a0
At the end of regulation time, debate moderator Sean Hannity asked both candidates if they wanted to continue into overtime.\u00a0 Both agreed and FOX cut to a commercial.
\u00a0
But when the show returned, Hannity announced it was over. Turns out Newsom\u2019s wife threw in the towel and refused to let the battered and bloody Cali gov return to the ring.
\u00a0
How embarrassing.\u00a0 But a smart move.\u00a0 Her hubby was getting beaten to a pulp in there.\u00a0 And all the spin in the world can\u2019t change that fact.
\u00a0
\u201cGotta give her credit,\u201d tweeted DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw. \u00a0\u201cThe First Partner of California protects her husband far more than Jill Biden protects Joe.\u201d
\u00a0
In a post-fight commentary, Jeffrey Blehar of National Review reported\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cRon DeSantis came as prepared as I\u2019ve ever seen anyone for a political debate in recent years and delivered a rather surprising thrashing to Newsom.\u00a0 He was as relentless as a jackhammer when it came to comparing facts between both states and deployed his factoids with real skill and timing.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
That\u2019s putting it mildly.
\u00a0
Newsom clearly thought he could walk in there, smiling with his pearly whites like the Cheshire cat, and lie through his teeth. \u00a0But every time he did, DeSantis nailed him.
\u00a0
Indeed, it was like watching Mike Tyson vs. Peewee Herman.\u00a0 Every time the \u201cslick, slippery politician whose state is failing\u201d flailed away with a missed left hook, DeSantis countered with a right cross to the jaw.\u00a0
\u00a0
Let\u2019s go to the tape\u2026
\u00a0
Shortly after the opening bell, Newsom tried to peddle the notion that more Floridians had moved to California than the other way around.\u00a0 Not true, and RDS dealt Mr. Hair Gel a stiff jab\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s the first governor to ever lose population.\u00a0 They actually, at one point, ran out of U-Hauls in the state of California because so many people were leaving.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Followed by this upper-cut, right on the nose\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cSo I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida. He was telling me that Florida\u2019s much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes, all this stuff.\u00a0 And he\u2019s really happy with the quality of life. And then he paused and said, \u2018By the way, I\u2019m Gavin Newsom\u2019s father-in-law.\u2019\u00a0 So we do count Gavin\u2019s in-laws as some of the people who fled California and come to the state of Florida.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
BAM!\u00a0 Get out the smelling salts!
\u00a0
He later nailed Slick for being soft on crime\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cWhen I was in Southern California for the Reagan debate, I had a lot of women tell me they have to take off all their jewelry just to be able to go shopping because, otherwise, they’re going to get mugged.\u00a0 That is the reality that people are facing in California. Gavin can try to put lipstick on that pig, but the fact of the matter is he has failed the people of California.”<\/em>
\u00a0
Then he nailed him on closing schools during COVID\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cYou were not following science. You were a lock-down governor.\u00a0 You did a lot of damage to your people. You had more kids locked out of school for a longer period of time in California than anywhere else in the country. It was the working-class kids. It was the middle-income kids.\u00a0 His kids were in private school.\u00a0 They were in class. He is owned by the teachers\u2019 union.”<\/em>
\u00a0
After Gavin lied about RDS banning books, the Florida governor countered by pulling out a copy of \u201cGender Queer,\u201d which can be found in California schools\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThis is pornography. It’s cartoons. It’s aimed at children and it’s wrong.\u00a0 So, this should not be in schools. \u2026 The role of the school is to educate kids, not indoctrinate kids. It\u2019s not to impose an agenda, it\u2019s to do the basics.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
I mean, it was just a non-stop pummeling.
\u00a0
By comparison though, those were just glancing blows.\u00a0 Get a load of this body punch over Gavin declaring California to be the \u201cfreedom state\u201d \u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cYou know, California does have freedoms that other states don\u2019t.\u00a0 You have the freedom to defecate in public in California.\u00a0 You have the freedom to pitch a tent on Sunset Boulevard.\u00a0 You have the freedom to create a homeless encampment under a freeway and even light it on fire.\u00a0 You have the freedom to have an open-air drug market and use drugs.\u00a0 You have the freedom, if you\u2019re an illegal alien, to get all these taxpayer benefits.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
BAZINGA!
\u00a0
But the killer blow was the \u201cpoop map.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


DeSantis pulled it out during his closing statement, showed it to the camera, and said\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThis is a map of San Francisco. This is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco. Almost the whole thing is covered except when a communist dictator comes to town. They cleaned everything up. So they’re willing to do it for a communist dictator, but they’re not willing to do it for their own people.”<\/em>
\u00a0
Down goes Gavin!\u00a0 Down goes Gavin!
\u00a0
As Tim Cool tweeted after the final bell\u2026
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI knew DeSantis was going to do well but…sheesh!\u00a0 I had no idea he had this level of beast mode. Zero chance Trump will debate him now. Zero.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Indeed.\u00a0 Trump is way too smart to risk getting in the ring with RDS even though he loves and craves the limelight.\u00a0 Which is a shame.\u00a0 The ratings would be through the stratosphere.\u00a0
\u00a0
But as Clint Eastwood famously put it, a man\u2019s got to know his limitations.\u00a0 And now we all know there\u2019s no way Trump could roll over RDS the way he\u2019s steamrolled others who have come before him.
\u00a0
A mano y mano Trump vs. DeSantis debate would be highly entertaining \u2013 and educational.\u00a0
\u00a0
But there\u2019s no way Trump would risk a public one-on-one now that he knows RDS has this \u201cbeast mode\u201d inside him.\u00a0 Better to stick with his Mar-a-Lago \u201cbasement strategy.\u201d
\u00a0
Now the big question\u2026
\u00a0
Did the Gavin Gutting last night change the GOP primary dynamic in the all-important early state of Iowa?\u00a0 Because if DeSantis pulls off an upset there, all bets are off for the rest of the primary.\u00a0
\u00a0
Stay tuned, Batfans.
\u00a0
FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong>
\u00a0
\u201cHe (Joe Biden) has no business running for president.\u00a0 And, you know, Gavin Newsom agrees with that. He won\u2019t say that. That\u2019s why he\u2019s running his shadow campaign. (Biden) should not be running. He is not up to the job. And it is dangerous for this country.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during last night\u2019s debate<\/em><\/strong>
\u00a0
\u201cLast night\u2019s debate between conservative Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and Far Left Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom of California finally demonstrated why DeSantis tops the \u2018not Trump\u2019 list of Republican candidates.\u00a0 Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Vivek Ramaswami and all the others can talk, but last night DeSantis threw down the facts on why conservative Republican governance in Florida works better for the average American family.\u201d \u2013\u00a0George Rasley, ConservativeHQ<\/em><\/strong>
