Roadside billboards reading “Florida is Trump Country” are popping up around the Orlando, Florida area ahead of the Florida Freedom Summit, urging Ron DeSantis to drop his long-shot bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and demanding the recently re-elected Governor spend more than just a third of his time in the state.
“With Florida Republican presidential primary polling showing former President Donald Trump leading Governor Ron DeSantis by a 36 percentage point margin- it is as clear today as it was in May that Donald Trump is the Sunshine State’s pick to be America’s next president,” the group behind the ads, Florida Forged, said in a statement.”
“But instead of dropping out and joining the overwhelming majority of his constituents behind the former President, Governor DeSantis has opted to spend more than 33.7% or 101 days of his second term out of state on the dole, abandoning Floridians now paying 900% more for insurance and billions more in new state taxes”.
“With Governor DeSantis thinking he’s earned a promotion for part-time work in a full-time job, it’s time Floridians reminded the governor that “Florida is Trump Country,” and will deliver the former President its full slate of 125 delegates on March 19th, 2024.”

A run of presidential primary polls in late-October show former President Donald Trump maintaining his near-insurmountable lead over the rest of the Republican field. Nikki Haley, meanwhile, has caught DeSantis for second place in both national polling and – most critically – in Iowa. Conducted from October 22nd to 26th, a national McLaughlin shows Haley and DeSantis tied at 8 percent – former President Trump, sitting in first place, holds a 47-point lead over both. An Iowa caucus poll from top-tier pollster Ann Selzer shows Trump capturing 43-percent of Republican caucus goers, while Haley and DeSantis again tie for a distant second.
Oooooh boy. LOL

Do you have a crush on DeSantis?
Your obsession isn’t healthy, and certainly not normal.
What do you expect from Trumpets he can be a governor and run president I would tell DeSantis not to listen to these rump blow hards.
They have a point. He can’t win; he’s just wasting his time and his donors’ money on a fool’s errand, while his work as governor is obviously being neglected.
I don’t support DeSantis. What was it about the tiny amount of words I posted mentioned anything about a crush on anyone?
I can wait for you to reveal that.
I’m sorry, but I haven’t been listening the first 1000 times you have denied your obsessive fixation on DeSantis as you continue to post 5-6 daily threads against “Meatball.”
Could you please post another denial? Maybe this time, we’ll believe you.
Never mind. I looked and will attribute it to butthurt.
We need a pic of Meatball standing on his toes trying to read the fine print on the billboards.
Starting to look like these “candidates” are being backdoor funded by the DNC.
You really hate us Trump supporters. What a miserable life.
He has elevator boots for that. I bet those boots were Jeb Bush’s idea.
Interesting that the 24/7 obsession is with Desantis and none of the other 10+ candidates and the only one they obsessively demand drop out is the guy in second place. Not third, fourth fifth or eleventh. Patently transparent.
Ya’ll gonna get Niki Haley as VP
What’s been neglected? Nothing. He’s delivered more this year as governor than any governor in any state in my lifetime. He’s in second place and
Not one vote has been cast yet.
Yeah, right.
The accusations against DeSantis by the Trump’s campaign are mostly childish. Republican voters will choose.
