1. It looks like DeSantis has made a presidential campaign ad for Elon Musk.

Is this satire? It must be. He couldn't really have thought people would vote for him because he licks Musk.

3. If somebody hired me to sabotage his campaign I would have made a video like this.

This production redefines lazy and uninspired.

It recycles the same clips multiple times: the airboat, DeSantis' JAG headshot, Musk getting out of a truck, Musk dancing (?) and flashing his hands at the camera, Musk with a flamethrower, and a big Musk flamethrower (rocket). They had everything Musk in this video except Muskrat Love.

The video is over three minutes and they couldn't find a fake real person to have a conversation with DeSantis.

Looks like someone tried to make a WWE entrance video but forgot the music. Listening to Dumb Desantis speak is irritating . All he does is throw out a bunch of buzzwords and Fox 'News' talking points. Nothing of substance.

5. "Big DeSantis Energy" is his comeback to "Toxic Masculinity."

Trump doesn't care if it's "Low Energy Jeb" or "Big DeSantis Energy." He's got a flyswatter that makes short work of Florida governors.

7. Good Lord, That Was Bad

I could do a better job, and I don’t know anything about ad production. Is this an ad for Musk or DeSantis? The same stupid video clips over and over - and they don’t even correspond to the spoken material, which is incredibly trite and cliched. Musk behaving like the juvenile idiot that he is. DeSantis was clearly told to walk like a normal person, which he can’t do - AWAY from the camera. This is stunningly bad. If the rest of DeSantis campaign is of this caliber, we have nothing to worry about.
