How does DeSantis play outside of the Land of Swamps and Falling Frozen Iguanas?

That's right. Nothing here in Florida except swamps, falling frozen iguanas, a budget surplus, no state income tax, sunshine, white sand beaches and a haven for Yankee escapees.

Why didn’t Deep State mess with FL’s election for governor...

Inquiring minds want to know.

24 months is a very long time in politics.

But IMO they are all controlled opposition.

Florida is just one election away from a Gov. Andrew Gillum.

As long as Florida still uses RCV-enabled voting machines, early voting, and mail-in voting, Deep State can easily do to FL what it has done to other states.

You guys are on borrowed time unless that’s corrected.

Don’t get cocky.

It looks like the folks here are taking the bait - starting to divide between Trump and DeSantis nicely - by the time Nov 2024 comes around, we will be in total disarray - SSDD

Many Trump allies are trying to project DeSantis as a swamp creature somehow akin to Trumo’s actual appointees, but DeSantis’s true achilles heel based on how he has actually governed is that he is far to the right of most Republicans, including Trump, which may not perform that well in the general election.

I’d love to see someone that far right win, but it won’t be easy.

Yep. That’s the question that has been turned back at YOU multiple times in your innumerable “I Wanna Have DeSantis’ Baby” love threads.

I don't know if DeSantis will win these states but I know that Trump will not.

I know this because he has demonstrated this by losing them in '20 and then by watching his hand-picked candidates lose them again in 2022.

The battleground states are not buying what Trump is selling. The did in 2016 but we've had three elections since then that have not gone well for Donald Trump. Will they buy what DeSantis is selling? We'll have to see.

But I know this. Nominate Trump in 2024 and he will lose. Feel free to mark this post if you'd like.

“>> TWO YEARS TO GO or as DeSantis said “chill out”.

How long do you feel your man can wait before announcing?

And what effect do you think his announcing will have on his sterling reputation in FLA?”

I will be supporting the anti-Democrat candidate, no matter who it is. Trump and DeSantis reputations will not change regardless of if or when DeSantis announces.

DeSantis picks his fights carefully and wins.

That’s why I don’t think he’ll pick the 2024 fight. The GOP nationally has not done nearly enough to combat election fraud, and there is frankly not enough time left now to fix all of those stolen states before 2024. DeSantis will wait, continue to build Florida into an economic powerhouse, and let more lower-level battles be won, first.

Gavin Newsom will almost certainly take over the White House in January, 2025 - but with the right planning and local/state level work he will be extraordinarily vulnerable to a DeSantis challenge in 2028. Newsom is the desired end result of all of the cheaters - a pretty fool who does what he is told and sounds all the right notes. A new JFK, but lacking the independent personal opinions the Deep State loathes. Those who think the various tribes will reject a white nominee miss the point - they harvest ballots for the (D) brand and its implied wealth distribution, and Newsom is a proven commodity.

Only Trump has any chance to beat Newsom in 2024, and it is admittedly a slim chance. The electoral math is ugly. But Trump’s presence will keep MAGA awake and focused on the difficult task of state-level reform that must be undertaken. He will also continue to confound the government/media/entertainment complex in a way no other political figure can.

“Campaigns don’t start in the election year anymore.”

Correct. They start when someone announces.

“How do you win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin?”

Throw in Arizona on that question.

Until mail-in-voting (and same-day registration) is outlawed, it will never happen.

The country has to split up for any chance for free thinking, liberty loving people to live peaceably in the future.

The biggest dem hopefuls are Newsome, Biden and Hillary. The easiest grudge match to setup for the media and wannabe handlers/groomers (Dick Chenny/Karl Rove) is between these three.

Thanks for showing up and at least offering a non-answer answer.

I will gently remind you that Ron DeSantis is not running for president.

Donald Trump comprises 100% of the proven conservative candidates who have actually announced that they are running for POTUS 2024. I therefore support him wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, you are deliberately and vociferously (and prematurely) fomenting division. Not helpful to our cause.

That is true, but they're more freaked out about Trump. Eventually, as you watch the circus play out, the Dems will tell you who they want to run against, and it's most definitely not Trump.

The Democrats watched Trump lose the House in 2018, lose the White House and the Senate in 2020, and lose those battleground races in 2022 where he hand-picked the exact candidates that the Democrats wanted to run against.

In what fantasy world are the Democrats frightened of Trump?

If anything, they believe that Donald Trump gets Democrats elected!

I hope you’re not a fraud denier. Too many of them around.

***********

If that be the case and ‘fraud’ is the key to winning or losing
then how does the GOP either block the ‘fraud’ or get on the
fraud bandwagon and go for the win regardless of ethics? It
has to be one or the other.

Correct. They start when someone announces.

Actually they start when donors start throwing money at people and Ron has had $200 million thrown his way.

Don’t get cocky.

Your Debbie Downer self chooses to see only the worst of what might happen in life. Fortunately, Florida has much more to offer than gloom and doom. Cocky? The only cocky critter here is your persistent determination that the rest of us should be as miserable as you perceive we should be.

I will vote Donald Trump and if he wants DeSantis that is fine with me. I will not support DeSantis for President unless he has Trump’s endorsement. Trump has done the heavy lifting for the GOP and could only be taken out by the corrupt political parties who want to keep their personal gravy trains rolling along. As of now, Florida needs DeSantis and DC needs Trump. At this point in time I believe that the poem Trump used to recite at rallies about the frog and Scorpion applies to DeSantis and those politicos who make a very good living from being involved in politics.

Bingo the elephant in the room.

Several of these have Dem legislatures so unlike Fla they so t change how voting is conducted
