DeSantis is a great guy but was a lousy candidate. Miracle he pulled it off, particularly with all the free publicity, accolades, and outside money that Gillum received.
Thank God though. I was happy to vote for him. President Trump is going to need a conservative-run Florida in 2020.

Agreed. I sent him a hefty donation almost two months ago, and saw NOTHING for over a month. Finally called his campaign 3 weeks ago: “We’ve had some personnel changes but we’re getting in gear”.
Took forever to get lawn signs. When they finally arrived I got one, then a week before election day they called me: “Hey, can you use another sign or two?” They were ultimately wasted - plastered six deep on vacant lots and public right of ways. Too little, too late in our county.
