Sometimes the apropos of the thing is just too much fun to notice. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is missing in action ever since his slip and fall/concussion a few weeks ago (insert shades of prior HRC issues here). The conspicuous absence of media questioning his continued absence is a little odd for a DC that loves to notice such things.Meanwhile, sniffing the possibility of enhanced career aspirations amid the political winds of incapable McConnell, Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie, sees Ron DeSantis as a vector to electoral elevation. Except, there’s a funny thing.While Erin Perrine of Team DeSantis is quick...

Per their survey, Trump leads DeSantis with 47 percent of the vote among Florida GOP voters compared to the governor’s 44 percent in a hypothetical 2024 presidential GOP primary race.The outpouring of Floridian support is a surprising twist, given the fact that DeSantis won his reelection bid in Florida in November 2022 with a staggering 20-point victory over his opponent, former Republican-turned-Democrat, Charlie Crist.In that same poll, GOP voters indicated that they...
