You might be having a bad week if you are touting yourself as the next best hope for Casey’s tiara and you find yourself losing by 41 points to the guy you are being paid to beat. Making matters worse, with the reality of the irrelevant collapse in full sunlight, the govt now steps in to prosecute DeSantis for fraud (campaign violations). Yup, it’s how the process rolls.
It’s like a nightmare Rob, the downward spiral just keeps getting worse and worse. DeSantis should have thought about this before sitting in the seat, because once the donor gate locks shut, you can’t get off until the ride’s over. Sucks to be Rob.
FLORIDA – Trump (59%) holds a commanding lead over all other Republicans vying for the presidential nomination in Florida. DeSantis (19%), Haley (8%), Christie (5%), and Ramaswamy (1%) come nowhere close. Fewer than 1 in 20 respondents indicated that they are still undecided about who they’ll be voting for in the primary this upcoming March. (link)
Yes, it’s time….
Ron DeSantis was always the counterfeit $100 bill being dragged through the MAGAhood on a fishing line by the Bush crew. A few people fell for it at first, some even chased it. But then slowly word spread, and now people just laugh at it as it passes by.
Omg Jake Tapper just called Desantis “Rob” 😭 pic.twitter.com/EHj2UTymrv

Pretty bad when you’re the the 4th least liked Governor …right behind Inslee. Way to go Meatball.

That the best you can do?
Juvenile name-calling?
Ok – I’ll fix that……..
“Mr. Meatball”
DeSantis has stood firmly against the wave of transgenderism that so widely plagues our society today.

No, he’s not a meatball.
SD’s juvenile mocking of DeSantis and his wife is an insult to intelligence, and an avoidance of what is important.
As a lifelong Florida resident, I have only two words for you, …RED FLAG.
For those not into local jargon,
1. What does “RED FLAG” connote to you?
2. And, whatever that is, how does it relate to my comment?
Geez, “Meetball”? “RED FLAG”? Anything but substantive discussion of issues.
How about asking the FL leg to make it so that residents cannot recover court costs from insurance companies even when the resident wins the claim?
How about setting back the transparency laws on running for another office?
Signs are there for those who are looking.
Okay, those are good points. Thank you.
But even so, I admire and appreciate DeSantis for his stand against the Woke Kingdom.
You mean you’re a consumer of fake news. It’s all just a carnival act designed for the sheep.
They do this every election cycle…throw out a little red meat for the gullible masses who slurp it up every single time. Eventually you’re going to elect to jump off that merry-go=round.
Can you provide a reference for your claim regarding court costs?
https://casetext.com/statute/florida-statutes/title-vi-civil-practice-and-procedure/chapter-57-court-costs/section-57041-costs-recovery-from-losing-party
seems to say otherwise.
Also, a reference for your claim regarding transparency.
A general comment:
I wish commentators here would provide references for their claims.
And on DeSantis: At least he stood up to the SPLC.
See link in my first comment.
So what did DeSantis do while he was in Congress? Did he fight for anything at all, or did he only just start “fighting” for you when he decided to run for POTUS?
A leopard doesn’t change its spots. It only hides them among the Bushes.
He means attorney’s fees and he’s correct as to property insurance. s. 627.428, F.S.
I googled your cite and found:
“the trial court or, in the event of an appeal in which the insured or beneficiary prevails, the appellate court
shall adjudge or decree
against the insurer and in favor of the insured or beneficiary
a reasonable sum as fees or compensation for the insured’s or beneficiary’s attorney prosecuting the suit in which the recovery is had.”
https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2022/627.428
Is that not correct?
It is up to you to provide a clickable link to that to which you want to refer.
If it is correct, what is the problem?
You give him more credit than is due. He has his marching orders and he hit it right on command.
He’s a dog in the dog and pony show! He ain’t blowing the whistle.
“an avoidance of what is important.”
incorrect. it is paying attention to what IS important. and while this issue should not be ignored, it is a sideshow to the core that solves all other issues: economics and national security. if the Leviathan is ever slain, these issues are solved, and all others, including social issues, are DOWNSTREAM from that.
A candidate like DeSantis tosses these bones out SPECIFICALLY to draw people like you in, while they take their orders from the Davosians on the REALLY important stuff that effects EVERYONE.
Let:s take a look at what DeSantis actually does:
https://www.outkick.com/florida-high-school-fined-probation-allowing-transgender-volleyball-player-girls-team/
“Thanks to the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida passed legislation to protect girls’ sports and we will not tolerate any school that violates this law,”
Anybody got a problem with that?
Or is it back to the juvenile practice of calling him an insulting nickname?
no problem with that at all.
if you’re a single issue voter, i assume you stand with him on this.
in the totality of his stances and actions, he is not worthy of being president.
So tell me, why do you think DeSantis has fallen so far in his own state?
A great question!
I don’t have any answer.
I like Trump too.
But if he can’t make it, due to the onslaught of legal actions being taken against him,
I think we need to think about who the best second choice is.
And I think Nikki Haley would get us into far too many wars.
“I think we need to think about who the best second choice is.”
IMO, us continually settling is why the republic has fallen.
DeSantis’ glorious deeds in the culture wars, while good things, were shiny objects. The goal was create an attractive alternative to President Trump and split the MAGA coalition. DeSantis is the version of MAGA acceptable to the GOP establishment. He’s President Trump without the problematic America First economic and trade policies. He’s going to placate the rubes, fighting the good fight against the Rainbow mafia while advancing the globalist agenda that lines their bank accounts and impoverishes the American Middle Class.
DeSantis is MAGA light. One calorie MAGA. Not MAGA enough.
But hey – thanks for all you’ve done to take down the groomers at Disney.
So he won’t be the next Ted Cruz; Nikki seems to be getting the nod. Just because it’s ‘time’ for a woman?
Repeat of 2016; their playbook is becoming dull.
Dog and Pony shows really became the rage in politics ages ago and the money keeps pouring in.
God Help US
Jeb’s son is faltering; just hope it’s the end of the Bush reign of terror and the Cartel collapses. Obama has no sons, and Biden’s is in the mud. Dynasties are no good, hope RFK ducks out gracefully now he’s known for his flight patterns to perversion.
Polls are still TOO close for my comfort…said another way, the lead Trump has can still be overcome with the right amount of interference by corrupt actors (re: 2020)
I know, polls are skewed Democrat, but it’s still too close
We support Trump although he gave us Fauci & the clot shots; but the Deep State is going to assassinate him. So you are missing the point about DeSantis. If Trump is taken out (by imprisonment or murder), it will be obvious to increasing numbers of people that the Communist dictatorship is nearing its total control; but to forestall armed rebellion, it will continue pretending that the US still has elections that are not rigged. DeSantis is staying in because he knows that if it comes to that scenario (Trump taken out), he is probably the nominee. Rand Paul is the only possible candidate who is not thoroughly corrupt, & he is keeping his distance, working tirelessly in the Senate. So DeSantis will get the nomination & we will all vote for him; but it is probably too late. The US is finished, as Sundance’s other posts today make abundantly clear. The reason: Americans have abandoned the Christian faith. You reap what you sow.
No, we will not all vote for DeSantis.
DeSantis has done some good things in Florida. He’s given credit for those things. But, it’s who he’s in bed with now that concerns me. Those who are supporting him people are Uni-Party all the way IMO. The Uni-Party elected officials and those funding their campaigns are grifters, sucking on the public tit.
I will not vote for the man.
Trump didn’t give us Fauci. Reagan did. And nobody had a problem with Fauci until Trump came along. Then all of a sudden, Fauci was corrupt.
Fauci was Fauci long before Trump came onto the scene. And all those people who pretend to hate Fauci have never said a thing about the people who replaced Fauci, who are way worse than Fauci ever was.
In other words, corruption isn’t a problem until it’s a problem. Waking up every couple of dozen years doesn’t solve anything at all.
Good points. Fauci was known to be evil long ago. Kary Mullis the inventor of the PCR said both Fauci and Gallo were liars during the AIDS panic. Mullis also said the PCR was inappropriate as a diagnosis tool. Fauci used it to test for HIV and Covid (actually SARS-CoV-2). This video should have been used to get rid of Fauci long ago.

Agree with USMC-OV10 Bronco that there may not be much point in voting if they take out Trump. Agree with Michael B that Reagan gave us Fauci–many of us knew Fauci was a fraud with his theory about AIDS in 1983. Trump promises now and promised in 2016 to be an outsider; but Deep State elites finally figured out Trump’s weakness–his enormous PRIDE–so Fauci persuaded Trump that he could go down in history as the savior of the world from COVID IF Trump would declare an emergency & sweep aside all safeguards designed to prevent the things we are now seeing with the clot shots. Trump played politics, allowing governors to take away civil liberties big time. Trump started wearing slave masks & let Fauci run the country. Yes, Warp Speed is an apt description of the rapid slide into Deep State Dictatorship. Is there any difference between Dictates & Mandates? Yet people swallowed it all. If God allows Trump to escape imprisonment & assassination, we will vote for him again; but it is unlikely that DeSantis would be manipulated any more than Trump was. Trump has the advantage that he sees what the Deep State has done to him & should be clear about massive housecleaning if he gets back into the presidency. All of us should support him fully in that!
In the book The Last Circle – Danny Casolaro’s Investigation into the Octopus and the PROMIS Software Scandal, the author says that Reagan was owned by MCA and MCA was a player in a lot of shenanigans. The book reads like a James Bond story.
Whitney Webb says the same people behind Epstein were involved in Iran-Contra.
This is exactly why they always win and why we always lose. The main difference between the Communists and Conservatives is, the Communists plant their snakes in the grass years in advance, while all we ever do is respond to those snakes once they bite us, even though we always knew that snake in the grass was there, just waiting to bite us, and then we act all shocked that the snake was even there after it bites.
Why do you think the Communists in the GOPe planted Fauci in his position? Why do you think that Fauci predicted Covid-19 before it even happened?
It’s like Schumer said, They have six ways from Sunday at getting you.
We voted for Trump because we know our government is corrupt, but, please, continue acting surprised that Trump was forced to deal with the corruption that you and all the rest of Americans have fostered through benign neglect.
