On Sunday October 16, 2022 I went to a Governor Ron DeSantis campaign rally at Wings Plus restaurant in Coral Springs, Florida. I had been to Wings Plus many times before because their wings have been rated the BEST in South Florida and several times there have been political campaign rallies at that location. From my experience with the previous rallies I expected dozens of people to show up and perhaps even a few hundred. However, imagine my SHOCK when it turned out there were THOUSANDS of people at that DeSantis rally. Wings Plus was completely filled up and the overflow crowd outside numbered in the thousands. In fact, it was so crowded that Wings Plus closed off entrance to any more people. However, thanx to Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show (longest running radio show in Florida history) he reserved me a spot at his table. Good thing because since I have a routine medical checkup later this week, I had been cutting back on my food intake recently in order to demonstrate to the dietician that I had lost more weight since the last appointment in July. Therefore I was STARVING and really appreciated those wings more than normal (with Jamaican Jerk sauce in case you're wondering).
Here are some highlights of the DeSantis rally from both inside Wings Plus as well as just outside. Interestingly, I do not recall the DeSantis opponent Charlie Crist even being mentioned so in the interest of political fairness, I have included some rebuttals from Crist in this video.
I never expected both the size of the crowd nor the sheer electricity of it generated by this rally. I had some brief things I planned to say to Governor DeSantis, but as you can see, it was so crowded that I didn't get near him. Be assured that my comments would have been very brief and I would NEVER do any personal request thing such as mentioning to the Governor that if he happens to be in the Miami area on December 2, he might want to check out the Miami-Dade Law Enforcement Academy which is graduating a class which chose my nephew (entering Hialeah Police Department) as its leader.
If anybody out there knows the governor, please tell him that I would never be so brash as to intrude upon him with that reminder about the Miami-Dade Law Enforcement graduation ceremony on December 2.
p.s. The wings were so incredible that I think in the future I will be switching from the usual garlic parmesan to Jamaican Jerk. Oh, and apologies to Mrs. Gary the Englishman for stealing the French fries off your plate. If it makes you feel better I also swiped the fries off the plates of your two friends at the table.
PING!
Just because he shipped some illegal immigrants to various spots on the map to cause a hassle for his enemies doesn’t mean he does not have an illegal immigrant problem that he’s doing little to nothing about. In fact, in terms of “refugees from Cuba and Venezuela” it seems he’s okay with SOME illegals.
But I hope he wins in his campaign. He’s way better than the other guy.
Thanks PJ. Wished I had made it. All the best.
A little FL resident color here...
Was in Cocoa village this weekend and spotted a woman wearing a DeSantis Airlines t-shirt. “Bringing the border to you!”
I complimented her on the shirt, and she pointed to the woman sitting opposite her and said “My wife bought it for me.”
He likely has wider appeal that the “don’t say gay” and Disney crowd would have us believe.
I know he must appreciate that.
And people say that Ron DeSantis has no charisma....
Got to say, though, The Guv ha a lot more charisma than some 95% of the candidates for elective office anywhere.
We just moved to Florida and when we got our drivers licenses we put independent as our political affiliation. Now we’re getting mailings from the Democratic Party. Hilarious. DeSantis was one of the reasons we came here.
This is how we build the future of MAGA, by creating a nationwide pool of MAGA candidates that will carry us decades into the future and well beyond Trump.
In fact, this MAGA movement may end up being Trump's greatest historical achievement.
“ Now we’re getting mailings from the Democratic Party. Hilarious.”
Let them waste their resources on you. In fact, may I suggest you send them a donation for $0.01 so that they waste even more resources on you as you get an explosion of propaganda in the mail
DeSantis doesn't put up with homeless drug addicts running cities either - or 'prosecutors' siding with criminals against victims. We don't have 100,000 signitures needed to dump these George Soros monsters - nope, DeSantis just fires them.
He's stopped groomers from teaching kindergarten kids about gay/trans/hetro sex. Or any sex for that matter...
If you only know him for sending 50 illegals to Martha's Vineyard - (TO WAKE UP IDIOT WHITE LIBERAL ELITES) - then you're missing a lot of what makes him the best Governor we've ever had here in Florida.
DeSantis/Lake 2028
That’s a thought.
Although, even though I have no reason to think she won’t do a good job...i’d like to see how she governs.
Yup. Most politicians have the charisma and brains of Kamala Harris. Just look at Mike Pence. An empty suit. You have to wonder how he even fathered a child.
Excellent!
<>doesn’t mean he does not have an illegal immigrant problem that he’s doing little to nothing about<>
Since you are an expert on illegal aliens in FL, what do you think Governor DeSantis should do?
The next President of the US (I hope)
Love that they kept interjecting Miss Crist in the video saying, “He offered me his lunch!”
A refugee from an oppressive communist dictatorship has a valid appeal for asylum. Quite a bit different than some wetback muling fentanyl.
