Politico writes a vast majority of stories from a slanted perspective; however, on the aspect of DeSantis influence in Florida disappearing, they are correct. One is the loneliest number.
Republicans in the sunshine state are ambivalent about the governor returning, after a disgraced and failed presidential effort. Quite frankly, DeSantis is an irrelevant gnat now, and he has three years left in his term as Florida governor.
This isn’t a surprise; it was easily predicted over a year ago when we first discussed the ruse of the Florida election. We knew DeSantis was going to run. We knew he was going to fail miserably; and we knew he would return to Florida a broken politician with no political currency.
The DeSantis operation was built on fraud, and the Florida policy successes were factually constructed (Rovian network) as groundwork for his presidential ambitions – not the Florida voters.
FLORIDA – TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is losing his clout in Florida.
College boards, stacked with DeSantis appointees, are rejecting job candidates with ties to the governor.
The chair of the Republican Party of Florida urged executive committee members to attend all GOP candidate events — giving cover to party faithful who want to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump.
And the board that oversees many of Florida’s affordable housing programs this month placed on leave its executive director, who was helped into the job by a top DeSantis adviser.
Interviews with nearly two dozen lobbyists, political consultants and lawmakers revealed that DeSantis’ struggles as a presidential candidate have already eroded his influence in Florida. There is a widespread expectation that his candidacy will end in failure. His standing at home may depend on how long he slogs forward in the presidential campaign — and how he will manage his exit from the race if he eventually drops out.

It's a shame...he did this to himself. More at link.
I don’t view him as Presidential, but I think he was a great Governor and probably belongs back in Congress.
Fake bot news… Disney just folded, now the CCP schools are next. His record is clearly not big pharma based like trump who is still backing his lockdowns, masking and big pharma blank checks.
BTTT
You are clearly insane.
I think you are spot on with your assessment.
Disney has not folded. A bit of pretense about a move away from controversy is lip service.
Iger said that his primary goal right now is to “quiet the noise” because the culture wars are bad for business, Needham analyst Laura Martin wrote in a note earlier this week, according to Fox Business.

Meatball has no traction
He needs to drop unless grifting for campaign funds
As Trump wants to increase abortions in red states, I don’t have much of a choice other than DeSantis.
What a piece of shit garbage website. I wish Freerepublic allowed blocking of any post from a fraud news source like this.
Desantis is and has been the best governing official of a lifetime. Half the democrats I know have switched their voting patterns because he’s been so effective. Shame on these idiots.
And Sundance is the sane one?
His campaign was a disaster from the start because he basically launched his presidential campaign before he even showed up for his first day of work in Florida after he was re-elected. began campaigning for President before he even showed up for his first day of work after his re-election as governor of Florida. When that happened, even most of his strong supporters saw him as a con artist, an opportunist and a phony.
SunDunce’s obsession with DeSantis borders on psychosis. I hope he gets help…
I agree that he should have stayed as Governor and prepared. However, my thought is that he would have faded just the same because he’s not on the level, in capability and competence, that it takes being President.
To me, he’s a Governor and Congress person level of competence.
When did Trump tell you that? He didn’t tell me he wanted to increase in abortions anywhere. He just said it was a bad lol because of politics. The thing is most people don’t even know they’re pregnant six weeks.
It has such a blocking mechanism. It's simple really, don't click the link.
When he said he wants a nation wide 15 week ban that would override DeSantis’ six week ban.
Since when does politics trump a ban on child murder?
So, they don’t know they are pregnant at six weeks, no murder for you, that’s the point.
“I don’t view him as Presidential, but I think he was a great Governor!”
A long time friend, who had moved with his family from California to Florida, a couple of decades ago, agrees with you re DeSantis.
He visited with us yesterday afternoon. He, his wife, son and daughter have prospered with starting their own businesses or at a corporate headquarters job in Florida.
This friend said that there was minimal B$ re Covid in Florida!
So his adult family members and most friends liked DeSantis as their governor and will welcome him back to fight Disney and other left wing leftover B$ like Disney.
WOMEN. Most WOMEN. Please don't use the left's language. Thank you.
I didn’t post anything related to your response. Try again?
