[It's a midday open thread with a discussion of fruitcake. Let us know in comments if you're pro or con fruitcake, and what is your favorite holiday baked good. -- eds.] Jeffrey Miller, Colorado State University Nothing says Christmas quite like a fruitcake – or, at the very least, a fruitcake joke.

You probably saw the coverage we did here at Crooks & Liars. But Cliff Schecter put together a funny video tying the biggest moments together with relevant movie clips. Newsom was relaxed, delivered more facts than Ron has learned in his entire existence, and mocked DeSantis the entire time, saving vicious zingers for the end of his statements. It was something to behold. There were moments it seemed like it might make more sense for DeSantis to put a mic in front of his little white booties to see if they'd do better. It was a thorough asskicking in every way, with DeSantis looking every bit as uncomfortable as he usually does in public.
