DeSantis is officially in

For Vox and Politico, it WAS disastrous. One million people and no corporate media massaging the message. DeSantis and voters. That was it. That is devastating to the power of the media outlets.

Some of the reactions are quite odd. It does seem like Trump has lost Fox.

Yeah, but let’s not ignore the fact that Lame Donald’s response was incoherent….

Yup. All these media outlets criticizing the rollout because the servers were overwhelmed.
Two points:
- A LOT of people were interested.
- There's no such thing as bad publicity. He's probably getting more press now than he would have had things gone smoothly. Come to think of it, this is probably a Musk/DeSantis/Evil Professor plot for attention. 3-D chess, man!

It sounds a bit like the complaints about all those people abandoning Disney/New York/etc. because it's over-crowded. As with Obama, the servers were over-whelmed because so many people are interested.

That's sort of what I meant. If the rollout were a yawn-inducing event, this would not have happened.
People are interested, and with the "botched" hashtag getting traction, he's going to have even more eyes. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a Streisand effect (probably not), or a "no such thing..."

@George-K the live numbers were actually 900K, anyway. Saw that myself, though I couldn’t listen live.

Here’s a guy who is coherent, disciplined and has thought this through. He can thoroughly articulate his positions. I like him a whole lot more today.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Wow. It would be one thing if the lincoln project presented itself as entertainment punditry. But they want people to believe they are serious historians and thinkers. And millions think of them in exactly that way.
I noticed they included my favorite bit of gaslighting from the left. The one where they accuse the right of pushing some bizarre culture war that comes out of nowhere.
