"Top Gov" DeSantis releases Top Gun inspired ad aimed at critics

I don’t understand Floridians voting for a governor who wishes to be President. His focus will be on his presidential campaign and not Florida.

Its why my folks stop voting for Bob Dole, he lost interest in Kansas and focused on his campaigns for President.

on the other hand, the demmycrats think the only way they can win the election is to run a guy who spent sixty years being a Repubican, got voted out, then decided to run as a Demmycrat because it was his only hope of ever getting someone to vote for him again......

Trumppers can’t see the difference between fantasy and reality. Top gun is a fantasy based Hollywood movie. That’s not how the real world works. In the real world Tom Cruise would have been shot down and would have died in the first 15 minutes.

like Christy?.....
 
I guess we can all be grateful that Top Gun is the big budget movie of the day. Had it been one of the Star Wars series, we might have had DeSantis dressed up as a Jedi.
 
Great ad...great governor....The "stupid guy" is the one who proclaimed "I don't want your vote"....and told his people why...."If you have hate in your heart, keep it there..." I hope they replay that every day...

DeSantis plays dress up as a pilot to remind everyone he pretended to be a Navy Seal.
 
Navy Pilots Mock Ron DeSantis for Cringey ‘Top Gun’ Ad

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is many things: a wannabe fascist dictator, an anti-LGBTQ bigot, and the presumed GOP nominee for president in 2024. But despite his best cosplay attempts, he is not a Naval fighter pilot. DeSantis premiered a new ‘Top Gun: Maverick’-themed
where he wears a flight suit, pretends to fly a fighter jet, and rails against wokeism and corporate media. DeSantis’s jingoistic “Top Gov” ad campaign is meant to capitalize both on the box office success of Top Gun: Maverick, and to highlight DeSantis’s own naval career. But the Top Gov never got anywhere near Top Gun.

According to the Florida Phoenix, DeSantis’s naval career didn’t see him dog-fighting in the skies. Instead, he was a lawyer and a Judge Advocate General’s Corps Officer, aka JAG. DeSantis’s Top Gun roleplay was not well received on social media, with actual Naval pilots slamming the governor for stolen valor. Former Naval pilot Ken Harbaugh mocked DeSantis in a video for progressive PAC Meidas Touch saying “It’s not just cringey, … It’s literally Navy pilot cosplay.”

“Now, unlike Ron DeSantis, I didn’t pick this jacket up at Party City,” Harbaugh jokes. “These are actual pilot wings.” Harbaugh added that while there is “nothing wrong” with DeSantis serving as an attorney, “this tough guy act is pathetic, especially from someone like Ron DeSantis. This campaign ad from Ron DeSantis is just one more example of a Republican politician appropriating the honor of others because he has none.”

DeSantis’s campaign takes a page out of the Republican handbook: using the troops and the military to feed his own machismo and uber-patriotism, while rejecting any laws or actions that would actually help veterans. Earlier this summer, 25 Republican senators delayed the passage of the PACT Act, which provides health care and benefits for countless veterans exposed to toxins from burn pits and other deadly chemicals, despite voting in favor of it a month earlier. It was a cynical, vindictive ploy by Republicans that quickly backfired in the court of public opinion.

Many took to social media to dunk on DeSantis and the ad:

I don't block "opposition".

I block trolls who have nothing worthwhile to add.

You're not opposition.

You're a troll.

If you only blocked trolls I can name a half dozen alt lefties that do nothing but start troll threads. I don't ever see their names on your banned list.
Plain truth is, you are a chickenshit and will be names so in every one of my responses to your bullshit.
