Now THAT is a stupid idea. Some people like saying outlandish things and I must plead guilty at times. Governors should not be rock throwers. He's toxic for a statewide job. Think Katherine Harris.

Gaetz is going to be a fabulous special prosecutor.

His focus is on massive Beltway corruption.

My initial thought after he withdrew, whether fabulous or not remains to be proven in court.

He's never even been a prosecutor of any kind - at all. Not even a lowly beginning assistant prosecutor in his local county. Literally zero experience.

Nope. Republicans keep having a problem with blacks running statewide.

**Gaetz is going to be a fabulous special prosecutor. His focus is on massive Beltway corruption.**

He’d be better than Ken Starr, the Whitewater prosecutor. His wuss behavior cost him a SCOTUS seat.

Two names to keep in mind when thinking about 2026 and who the next Florida Governor will be.

Current Lt. Governor Jeanette Nunez
Current Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez

Both would do well in South Florida, if one of them can make inroads in North Florida which is totally different electorate, I could see one of them winning.

He’s not damaged at all.

He withdrew because he would have had to cut shitty deals to get senate approval. The example I heard was they said they would approve him if he promised not to investigate Fauci - that is just one example - so he said “F$@k that” and withdrew.

I like it that he was unwilling to cut a deal.

What about DeSantos? Does he have to leave because of term limits?
