“Not long before that, he used his party's majority in the Florida State Legislature, to change the Resign-to-Run Bill, so he wouldn't have to leave office to run for President. On the day he announced his candidacy, he signed that Bill into law. . . The only other Florida Governor who had that law changed to benefit himself was ex-Rino, now RAT Charlie Crist. Crist thought he was in the running to be McCain's running mate, but he never got the call. Did he bother to have the law changed back to its original state? Of course he didn't. It wasn't until Rick Scott became Governor, that he had the State Legislature change the law back to its original wording.”

Apparently you have not yet heard that the Resign-to-Run law that Governor Rick Scott signed contained a provision that allowed him to run for federal office while he served as Governor. And he did just that.

You invite admiration for Governor Scott then castigate Governor DeSantis for doing something similar.

Sure, I understand why you compare the Florida legislature and governor unfavorably to the New York legislature and Governor Cuomo.

I never get tired of being preached to by somebody from up north.

Cuomo isn't Governor anymore, but unfortunately, this State was lost a long time ago. There will never be another Republican Governor here in what's left of my lifetime. New York State has a majority of Red counties, and because of that, you'd think that the New York State Legislature would consistently have a Republican majority in both Houses. Republicans are out matched in both chambers by a more than 2:1 ratio, and that is the way it will likely remain to the end of time. Downstate controls the whole State. You think I like the fact that Schumer and Gillibrand are my U.S. Senators? The New York Republican State Committee has been MIA for many years, and has done nothing to find true Conservatives to run for offices in the State. Our last Republican Senator was Al D'Amato. He left office in 1999. And it's been downhill since then.

I have a brand new first-term Congressman that has consistently voted to send money to Ukraine, voted for the last expenditure to keep the government open, and just voted to keep FISA. They split my district in 2022, and this is what we ended up with. I gave him a chance for a first term. He won't get my vote in November. Even my old district Representative Claudia Tenney voted to keep FISA. Had she remained my rep, I wouldn't vote for her again either. I will no longer hold my nose, and vote for a GOP candidate that I know is going to be bad for the country, just to keep the seat Republican. Too many people still do that, and all it does is perpetuate the Rino problem. I won't be a part of it any longer.

If you consider being told why I think Ron DeSantis is a self-serving prig, as being lectured, you need to think again. It's a personal opinion based on examples I provided. I didn't ask you to agree. Nor did you bother to even respond on the matter.
