This sort of Republican leadership is a no-squish zone.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis won in 2018 over Andrew Gillum by just 32,000 votes, or four-tenths of one percentage point. Very, very close in a big purple state. Since that victory, DeSantis has endured relentless attacks on every conceivable issue, nonissue, and fake issue.
National outlets such as “60 Minutes” and state publications in every market gaslighted the public and often flat-out lied about DeSantis, from the number of COVID deaths and transgenderism in schools to the fictional “don’t say gay” bill. Late-night former comedians, Hollywooders, corporate cowards, and the White House have all singled out DeSantis for vilification. “DeathSantis” has trended on Twitter repeatedly.
And yet, three years after that election, DeSantis has dramatically increased his popularity in Florida, as have Republicans in general, if voter registration means anything. A recent St. Pete Poll conducted for Florida Politics—both left-of-center outfits—found DeSantis with a plus-16 point approval rating—54 percent to 38 percent of registered voters.
Further, a recent University of North Florida poll of registered Florida voters found giant margins for DeSantis over either of his Democrat competitors. He leads former governor and party flip-flopper Charlie Crist by 19 points and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried by 21 points. Those numbers will close by November, of course. But the poll was of registered voters, who don’t typically poll well for Republicans. And DeSantis has nearly $100 million for re-election while his contenders each have a few million and a primary yet.
How is this stunning success in popularity among ordinary voters possible when every conceivable media, social media, and cultural mover has vilified DeSantis for three years?
In a word: Interposition.

State government standing up for its people against the federal government, rather than colluding with the federal government against the people.
In the increasing battle against federal overreach, States rights is the winning strategy in the penultimate battle, before the last resort of CW. In Florida, the Governor’s seat is the remaining stronghold. Should Florida fall to the leftists, the State is forever gone to the left, due to the inmigration of leftists from the NE, bringing their crop devouring locust liberal liabilities.
Those who would suggest that DeSantis should run for POTUS, or VPOTUS are either not Floridians and therefore unable to see and suffer the risks here, or neglect this critical fight in even their own states. All political fighting must begin locally.
“Give us a king to rule over us” they shouted.
...start with a Constitution Sheriff
...that is all
Recognizing established laws (already ON the books) can’t take you too far wrong.
If it proves ineffective of in any way, unfair, THEN you put the changes on the ballot.
It’s called ‘REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT’ and has served us so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

states don’t have rights.
God creates man.
Man creates States.
States create Federal Government and binds it with the Constitution.
The link from the Bible to the Constitution is the Declaration of Independence.
You got me. I'm not a Floridian, and want to see him run for President. I'd rather he be a good President than a good governor of California. A President who pushes federalism would be a godsend for the entire country.
DeSantis - living in the ‘no-squish zone’.
A Trump DeSantis team could bring back America both know how to get things done and do it and the fun part is the MSM takes an a** kicking every time they go after them.
ORAY for DeSANTIS! Imagine if Gillum, the BI-SEXUAL, METH, MALE PROSTITUTE USER DEMOCRAT!!
