Check out Casey DeSantis on Fox News asking supporters to swarm into Iowa and commit election fraud:
This is not a "gaffe." It was obviously planned and rehearsed. "You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus," she said. That isn't a case of sloppy wording in a live interview. It's an explicit call to break the law.
Today DeSantis is saying that "participate" just means, you know, participate. Not vote. How silly that anyone would think otherwise!
What revolting behavior.
What's the goal, though? It's not like there wouldn't be consequences if people followed her direction.
"What's the goal, though?"

Intimidating and harassing are standard techniques to kill democracy.
Working on the web pays me more than $120 to $130 per hour. I learned about this activity three months ago, and since then I have earned around $15k without having any online working skills. To en10 test it, copy

In what universe does it make sense for DeSantis supporters from other states to make their way to Iowa for the sole purpose of intimidating and harassing Iowa Republicans?
I can't imagine how this helps increase support with the wider base of the party. If they weren't already creeped out or annoyed by his whining tone and cringey PR stunts, this would probably push them over the edge and make Haley everyone's alternate choice were Trump convicted and imprisoned.
"I can't imagine how this helps increase support .."
Apparently they can imagine it. This looks like the best explanation.
The other explanation, that they really mean vote, seems to be less likely, because it requires more courage than DeSantis showed until now.
"Participate" means "intimidate".
intimidate who, exactly? trump voters? since they're likely to be the majority, or close to it, among caucus goers, that would be rather intimidating itself.
I suppose parallels to the groups involved in the events of 30 June 1934 to 2 July 1934 are a bit too facile, but they are difficult to ignore.
“Ron stands by blankly” is the story of his campaign. Well, ok, Ron wipes his boogers on supporters clothes is another story.
Preposterous, though. Most Iowans won't go to a caucus.
Almost impossible imagining anyone from out of state working up the motivation. And to do it for DeSantis! Hah! Like that's going to happen.
well maybe he can fly in some people from the border ....
They'd come if you provided a nice bus ride, with food and a nominal payment for their trouble, plus the Iowa voting fee. Probably not from Florida, though, unless it was some kind of luxury corporate jet -- more like a fleet of them. DeSantis apparenttly has a lot of experience ordering up such. It's why his campaign's "coffers" are running on empty.
It's always been this way in good ol' Ioway, if memory serves. You want into the caucus place, pay your fee, and vote. Parties have been busing in "voters" for decades now.
Finally, the Democratic Party called it quits. But this truly is the Republican model.
You're confusing the old Iowa straw poll which used to winnow out candidates the summer before the primaries with the Iowa caucuses.
Thanks for pointing this out! I clearly need to update.
Casey DeSantis wants to be first lady so badly she will do anything, break any law, to make it happen.
There's an interesting story somewhere of powerful political wives who pushed their husbands well above their pay grade by sheer force of will.
Don't be surprised if her plan B is to run in 2026 to succeed her husband as governor of Florida.
desantis who?
Adding to the creepiness, she keeps referring to him as "the Governor." Not "my husband," not "Ron." She does throw in "my hero" once. She sounds like a flack paid to play his wife. Does he make her call him that in bed? Here comes the Gov!
