I'm not a Florida resident, but I'm curious who y'all are supporting.

I haven't seen much discussion here about this race...

Donalds takes big money from tech bros and has come out 100% for data centers. You’ll have one in every town and electricity will skyrocket.

The majority, if not all, of the new AI Data Centers produce their own power, and most will provide the excess to the nearby locale, at a discounted rate.

All politicians "take big money" from some one in business, because they have the money, you stupid bustard.

You again, show why your screen name is the exact opposite of what you are.

I live in Donald’s district and voted for him before I saw his true colors. I know him well and everything I wrote is truth. Google is your friend.

You got here 2 decades after me and call me a dem... lol. Then again, you’re some illiterate fk who writes like a 2nd grader.

No more NY carpetbagger like Trump. Just crap . Trumps done enough damage .

If I don't, I should be blanked out for my response to you.

This is the most stupid, asinine, post I have ever seen on FR.

You are an asshole, deeper than the outer space black hole.

LOL

Trump history of bad picks is well known to all.

We lost the GA and PA senate seats thanks to his picks which
he refused to even give them a dime to campaign on.
When he campaigned for them. He kept the donations.

Vivek is a disaster .
Read his comments trashing American workers and promoting H1 Visa Indians.
What white Ohio would vote for him.

Trump is a Nyer and so is this disaster pick.

Desantis was born in Volusia county.
A local FL boy not a New Yorker .

Deal with it.

“Then there’s his support for decriminalizing ALL theft up to $1,000... even in home burglary.”

Thanks for mentioning it. It seems to be a little more complex than that. This is some of what I got from Grok:

As a Florida state representative, Donalds sponsored and advocated for HB 589 (2019), which sought to raise the felony property theft threshold from $300 (unchanged since 1986) to $1,000. This would have made thefts below the new limit misdemeanors (petit theft) rather than felonies (grand theft).

I leaned toward Jay Collins cuz he was Ron’s choice for Lieutenant Gov. But then I see some of his campaigners were behaving badly against the governor’s people.

Don’t know much about Renner, the Florida SoH.

Fishback seems to be anti-Israel. So he is a no go for me.

Byron Donalds has the Trump endorsement, but that doesn’t convince me. I suspect he is Big Weed and doesn’t really seem to have an agenda other than “Trump likes me”. I love DJT, but he cannot vote for me.

I really don’t have a candidate. I *do* think Donalds will win it all.

And any of these guys would be better than a Demon Rat.

I appreciate your comments .

I want to win the Fl Gov race .

The FL Gov has a lot of power .

We dont need to a stealth Dem Gov who will
unravel all of Desantis hard work.

Trump needs to go away.
He is bad news for the midterms this year.

His sleazy pick will be crushed against the Dems very clever pick.

Donald’s is BIG Weed ?

We will lose if its him.

Conservative voters will sit this election out in Fl.

Weed pisses off people in Fl who have voted it down twice already.

“Conservative voters will sit this election out in Fl.”

And, that is what gave us Obama TWICE and Biden. You are an ignoramus if you don’t vote.

What is controversial about Donald’s?? That he’s BLACK??

Mainly that he's an empty suit and merely a vehicle for the out of state interests who back his candidacy.

He also refuses to debate. Presumably because he doesn't want to talk about things he has pushed in the past like reducing penalty thresholds for theft:

HB 589 and related efforts: Raise the petit theft/felony threshold from $300 to $1,000

I don't want to emulate CA in FL, so I won't be voting for him.

I'd rather rely on a conservative legislature to keeps reins on a Democratic governor, than put a GOP rubberstamp for failed policies.

We can do better than this: "Donalds has a personal history with the justice system (youthful arrests, including a resolved felony larceny case that was later expunged)"

The replies to this post spells out clearly why the GOP loses. Why the GOP elected Obama twice and Biden. Why the GOP elected the recent LA Mayor, etc., etc. Sit your last asses in the easy chair and watch America burn because of a stupid purity test. Good grief at the ignorance running wild.
