Early indications are that the DeSantis advance team is already facing challenges for their first in-person 'kickoff' event in Des Moines tomorrow

They already quietly moved venues from a huge "RecPlex" (from their original release) to a megachurch (website now)

🧵🧵🧵!

Now, listen, it could mean that the crowd got too big!

But I don't think so.

As far as megachurches go, the Eternity Church is more like a mediumchurch amirite?

These are the only photos I could find, but you get the idea. Not so big.

[2/?] ImageImage
(and as an aside, I'm getting some "mega" Koresh vibes from Pastor Jesse from Eternity Church)...

[3/?] ImageImageImage
who, OF COURSE, is already trying to performatively 'get canceled' when nobodyyyyyy caaaares

sir, your worship service has tight tshirts, electric guitars, and strobe lights, i don't think we were expecting like, The Vatican levels of decorum here



[4/?]
seriously - search for 'desantis' + 'eternity' and you will find nada. this thread will be the first that matches. nobody cares.

(which is also an indication of a problem for the crowd tomorrow, although they may simply not care about #s)

twitter.com/search?q=etern…
side note: there *is* a larger event facility across from the Eternity Church but unfortunately it will be all booked up at the exact same time as DeSantis with a sold out show...

Featuring "Bad Omens," which is just a little too on the nose, if you ask me.

[6/?] ImageImage
just sayin'

[7/?] Image
aww Pastor Jesse deleted his tweet (prob because it's wildly illegal for a church to be supporting a candidate so overtly)

but obviously I had it open in a tab so here ya go

seems like you CARE a little bit, pal

🚨 GOP LAUNCH REVIEW🚨

First images of Ron DeSantis' first event as a candidate are out!

My knee-jerk reaction is: mediocre at very best.

Will link my earlier threads about this weird venue choice below

Follow this thread for ~MORE INSIGHT + WISDOM~

🧵🧵🧵#DeSantisAdvance ImageImageImage
first, if you're wondering

"hey, is that a relatively small, low-ceilinged church sanctuary that Ron DeSantis' team picked for his huge launch event, against both the law and basic common sense?"

yes, yes it is. Read more about that in this thread...

Welcome to the first real Ron DeSantis campaign day, where they've chosen a small church venue in W. Des Moines for a "kickoff" event - that ostensibly will send him straight to the WH.

I've QT'd yesterday's thread on this choice also but I have some NEW THOUGHTS TO SHARE

🧵🧵
DeSantis has already had to quietly switch venues for this first in-person event - which is a mess because it's a HUGE moment in the history of any campaign.

The "first event" on camera is so important for setting the tone.

Here's Biden's in 2016 in PGH on his way out to IA ImageImageImageImage
the Pittsburgh stop drove a day of coverage while we were in IA setting up - we had laid out a ambitious schedule of 2 days/4 stops, with speeches at each. All were large + centrally located venues.

I don't think that DeSantis' team exactly went out and found the "A" venues: ImageImage

The advance work for Ron DeSantis' first-ever campaign-ish appearance in IOWA is surprisingly coming out between medicore and hot garbage

a few THOUGHTS on this mess because I enjoy this stuff entirely more than I should and this is cheaper than therapy

🧵🧵 (1 of 800 etc etc) ImageImageImageImage
First things first, the positive:

This is a healthy crowd, especially for a Friday morning.

It's not "thousands" like this guy says but it's definitely 800 to 1k or so.

That said, Joe Biden also drew a ton of people to his 1st stop in Iowa - which was a Tues in April '19 in Cedar Rapids, The City of Five Seasons™

(I'm a little biased here but I thought this looked acceptable to good, considering we only spent approx $11 U.S. dollars on this) ImageImageImageImage

The advance work and optics on Joe Biden's Warsaw speech are just flat out amazing

Simply cannot do it better

And the President's speech matched the staging in strength & tenor

10/10 no notes etc

...ok well some notes BUT THEY'RE ALL GOOD NOTES:

🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵 ImageImageImageImage
What do you do if you found THE MOST AMAZING site, but the tight shot would be an ugly black glass arch?

Do not despair - just print a banner of what you WISH it was.

In this case, a quaint wooden door wrapped by a huge gradient arch of UKR colors to perfectly fill the hole ImageImageImageImage
I love The Door. I hope someone cuts out The Door and brings it home to America.

Put The Door in the Biden Presidential Center & Amtrak Station in Wilmington, DE (opening 2032)

Also, I believe The Door (fake) is supposed to evoke the door (real) from last year's Warsaw speech ImageImage

Good morning and Happy Washington's Birthday

Oh and Joe Biden went to Kyiv

This is amazing - some notes on the most significant trip of his Presidency thus far:
Starting with, how is "secret trip to Ukraine" compatible with already custom plaques embedded in the masonry? Would love to know how this worked.

(also where does the QR link to?)

Don't worry, the custom plaque guy with the Very Top Secret clearance also does the custom stationery:

Good morning and welcome to the first GOP presidential launch event of the cycle (not counting that...situation...at Mar-a-Lago)

I'm gonna keep all my *expert* & valuable commentary to this 🧵 so that I keep the follower loss to mere dozens

#NikkiHaley #NikkiHaley2024
Loading your crowd riser 45 mins before the speech is set to begin is a bad idea - sure, more time to pick out the very specifically diverse crowd (as they've done here) but way more time for those folks to get tired/lock their knees - they'll be worn out by stage time
They're gonna get there on crowd for sure.

And you know what, sometimes that's all that matters.
