STUART, Florida -- He's no Tom Cruise, but Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is definitely a "Maverick" in his latest campaign commercial which portrays the Republican as a "Top Gun" fighter pilot engaging in battle with deceptive national news media.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is your governor speaking," DeSantis begins, likening himself to Cruise's character Capt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in the popular summer film.
"Today's training evolution: dogfighting. Taking on the corporate media."
Much of today's 'science' DeSantis commenced his lesson: "The rules of engagement are as follows: Number one, don't fire unless fired upon, but when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force."
Then actual news footage is spliced in, showing the governor hammering a news reporter: "Does it say that in the bill? I'm asking you to tell me what's in the bill..."

1. It’s a damn shame my supergovernor is rare among Republican governors.
2. I thank God he IS my governor.
He takes a lot of flak....but wins the dogfights with the fake media lapdogs of the Biden regime.
LOL 😁
We’ve got to fight for him. Gavin Newsome just gave 100K to the Crist campaign to “make Florida into California.”
I read that DeSantis has collected $100M, but he’s going to need more and as much as he can get because the mega-rich Dems are going to throw everything at him.
This is not true anymore. It's fiction from the first Top Gun.
Love this guy!
Wish he was my Pennsylvania Governor!!
I claim no expertise, other than being 70 and watching politics carefully since age 30. But some things are undeniable. Such as, our system is the Uniparty system. In nearly every case, we are being played by the Dem & Repub for their own purpose, certainly not for us or to protect our liberty. What Sundance says here fits into this pattern absolutely:

Voters are Moving to the Right Across Almost Every Demographic, Says Massive Survey

Morning Consult has reported five years’ worth of data from over 8.6 million participants that shows a trend of America’s registered voters moving steadily to the ideological right.
“The left is losing the battle for the minds of the American electorate, Morning Consult research shows, with voters decreasingly identifying as liberal in recent years,” writes Morning Consult political reporter Eli Yokley. “But that doesn’t mean the country is lurching to the right.”
Yokley then makes an effort to pretend the trend isn’t what it looks like: “Instead, an increase in the share of Americans who identify as moderate, or who are uncertain about where exactly they stand on the ideological spectrum, reveals a growing and electorally decisive center that is discontented with either side’s extremes.”
Except that the percentage of voters who identify as conservative actually increased slightly, while only those who call themselves liberal decreased. Call me crazy but that just sounds like Democrats are turning away from far-left ideology to become more moderate:
The share of the electorate who identifies as “very liberal,” “liberal” or “somewhat liberal” on a seven-point scale has dropped over the past five years, from 34% to 27%, according to extensive annual Morning Consult survey research conducted among more than 8.6 million U.S. voters since 2017.
Meanwhile, “Even as Democratic voters drift toward the middle, the data shows that the Republican Party’s adherents are shifting further to the right — and it’s happening quickly,” writes Yokley.
Or to put it another way, the whole country is moving in a rightward direction.
This trend is concurrent with the largest group of people consistently falling into the conservative camp — 39% in 2022, from 38% in 2017. Meanwhile, the liberal cohort has shrunk from a high of 34% in 2017 to a mere 27% as of now.

I hope and pray this is TRUE.
Good for him.
Adorable child! Great ad but the boy stole the show in my opinion. :)
Glorious! Wonder if Top Gun movie execs will give him permission to use this in election ad?
