Quoted: Ok sure. Followed the polling closely of a gubernatorial race in another state. And we’re back to believing polls again? View Quote I think you're mixing shit up. Go look at that link that I posted and see how close the election was. Ron won ONLY because of Trump's STRONG endorsement and rallying for him. Ron picked a hell of a way to repay that help, and don't think the entire country didn't notice how poorly Ron choose afterwards, to throw his hat in agaisnt Trump. |

Quoted: Didn't vote for him in the primaries, didn't know much about him. Since he's been in office, nothing but win after win! He not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. Much smarter than Trump, better. View Quote He was much better than Adam Putnam in the primary. Putnam was the RPOF's swamp pick @PR361. DeSantis was a dark horse candidate that ruined Putnam's run. DeSantis originally was going to run for the Senate, Maro Rubio's seat. The problem is Rubio chickened out in 2016, so DeSantis instead ran for Governor. |

Quoted: Lol. It don't have a goddam thing to do with what any democrat says about him, it's his own actions and words against Trump, a guy who literally is the only reason that Desantis beat that drug riddled democrat shoe-in whatever his name was several years ago. The big tall strong black guy that would've wiped the floor with Desantis had Trump not endorsed him. The same guy found passed out naked with drugs and shit all over, and his gay lover. This guy: What happened to Andrew Gillum? On May 4, after a nearly three-week trial, jurors acquitted Gillum on a single count of making false statements but couldn't reach a verdict on 18 other conspiracy and wire fraud counts against both defendants.May 15, 2023 And lol@all the desantis "rino" pussyhurt.

I'm a realist.
One man, even the President, in the course of eight years is not going to be able to single handed fixed all of our problems that are the result of over a century of progressive leftism. However, DeSantis will likely accomplish one or perhaps even two signature pieces of legislation while President since he will not be limited to just four years and can run again for a second term if elected. Unlike Trump, who is a lame duck president if he wins since a President can only serve two terms. I also think that DeSantis has a better chance of getting something done in the Congress than Trump, because unlike Trump the Congress has not impeached him multiple times and he does not have a purely adversarial relationship with them. Primarily, I think it's time to turn the page in this Republic's story and close out the Boomer Chapter. Boomers have had over 30+ years and I think it's extremely clear that the Republic is far worse off than it was when they took over. I'll concede that there are number of factors that go into that, but at the end of the day these negative changes have occurred under Boomer leadership. It's time for the next generation to step up. In short, you did your best Pa Pa, go rest now Gen X has it from here. |

Quoted: That's not how elections and voting works. Apathy makes people stay at home, not vote for the other candidate. View Quote I assume that’s a response to me. And 2020 directly contradicts your assertion. People turned out in droves to vote against Trump, not for Biden. Democrats turned out in 2018 to vote against republicans as they saw them as an extension of Trump. Is your position the house republicans were so disliked in their own districts as to lose 41seats in 2018 and Trump didn’t motivate them whatsoever? |

Quoted: Because Trump has them addicted to his bullshit. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmM7sDPVoAA-lZK.jpg:large View Quote That's a good graphic, because Trump is so geriatric it's probably only a matter of time before he needs a CPAP machine just like Biden is apparently using right now. Enough with the geriatrics folks. If a man in his late 70's or 80's was going to save America, he would have done so long ago. Boomers have had the presidency since Clinton in 1992 and their time to be in charge has come and gone. We need leaders who are in their cognitive and professional prime. |

View Quote That’s fine. And perhaps they get their wish and trump is the nominee. But we should not have to hear a word from that point forward ever again about stolen election or any other nonsense though. If trump is the guy the right puts up he will lose, again. Maybe that’s what his voters really want so they can spend another 4 years playing the victim without having to put down the bus light and get off the couch. My life won’t change in any tangible way with trump or Biden’s corpse in the WH so I’m caring less and less. My gun collection certainly doesnt care……gun control passed by a Republican is equal to that passed by a democrat. I’m not going to comply with either so if you all want to watch another 4 years of pants shitter and his gender confused cabinet go for it. Make no mistake though, trump will get crushed in the primary. Hopefully you will be able to help fund his retirement with stop the steal 2.0 |

Appears to be a decent governor for his state and that's the only positive opinion I have of him right now.
