David French: I Cannot Support Such a Thuggish Cad as Ron DeSantis. I'm a Mike Pence Man, Through and Through!

Ron DeSantis is MAGA-Adjacent.

Remember, these are the people who accuse others of being in a cult.

David French @DavidAFrench

The more DeSantis cozies up to the MAGA wing of the party the harder it is to see the logic of a run *against* Trump (as opposed to positioning himself as a Trump heir).

Meanwhile, the post Jan 6 version of Pence is presenting a clear alternative.

Are you officially #NeverDeSantis now, David?

No doubt the answer is yes. Because DeSantis has a great and provable record of conservative successes, Mr. French is more comfortable writing nostrums that *sound conservative* but don't actually achieve anything.

It's the One Drop Rule, now applied to MAGA.

Like most other Twitter Addicts, David French is in a never-ending purity-spiral, always proving he is The Most Pure, and driving out heretics and whores he accuses of a lack of purity.

I don't think DeSantis is cozying up to the MAGA wing. I think he's showing he best represents what Republicans need and want now. I get that you filter everything through the prism of "TRUMP IS MY LIFE!" But some things aren't Trump. Truly.

Note -- perfectly coincidentally, I'm sure! -- that NeverTrump's standards of what Republicans they will allow themselves to support, with such exacting standards that they essentially cannot support any Republican who has any chance to win a general election -- just so happen to align perfectly with the demands of the Democrat donors paying their rent and buying their food, who wish their paid shills to propagandize in favor of Jeb!-like candidates or none at all.

But, again, I'm certain that The Left Reverend David French comes by his opinions honestly and is certainly not writing to spec as demanded by his rich leftwing patrons.

After all, the Left Reverend David French is the most virtuous, most morally spotless being to have ever trod the earth since Jesus and... maybe for a while before that, too.

He tells us so in his Humblebrag Homilies every Sunday.

They say that anyone who runs for president gets very, very full of himself and catches "President's Disease." They start imaging themselves as great statesmen and even start thinking of themselves in the third person.

"Mitt Romney would never attend that sort of tawdry charity event."

"The public expects more in a Mitt Romney tweet."

"This shrimp dip -- it's not up to a 'Mitt Romney' standard of quality."

David French obviously has President's Disease.

Except he never even was a presidential candidate. He was once briefly chatted up by desperate mentally-ill grifter Bill Kristol about the possibility of becoming a fringe spoiler vanity candidate. But he was too much of a coward to even put his hat in the ring as an Andy Kaufman joke candidate.

But still he prances around like he was in The Big Dance, and feels the presence of the ghosts of all the former presidents at his back, instilling him the moral and physical strength to inscribe his next Hot Take Anti-Trump Tweet.

David French remains the most overstuffed, pompous ridiculous POC -- Person of Clown -- the world has ever known.

Pence faces an uphill battle against Evan McMullin.

Meanwhile: Steven Hayes continues reaching for a Mitt Romney standard of quality in his slapdash twitter "journalism," and failing in even that.
