"Sure, I understand why you compare the Florida legislature and governor unfavorably to the New York legislature and Governor Cuomo."

Cuomo isn't Governor anymore, but unfortunately, this State was lost a long time ago. There will never be another Republican Governor here in what's left of my lifetime. New York State has a majority of Red counties, and because of that, you'd think that the New York State Legislature would consistently have a Republican majority in both Houses. Republicans are out matched in both chambers by a more than 2:1 ratio, and that is the way it will likely remain to the end of time. Downstate controls the whole State. You think I like the fact that Schumer and Gillibrand are my U.S. Senators? The New York Republican State Committee has been MIA for many years, and has done nothing to find true Conservatives to run for offices in the State. Our last Republican Senator was Al D'Amato. He left office in 1999. And it's been downhill since then.

I have a brand new first-term Congressman that has consistently voted to send money to Ukraine, voted for the last expenditure to keep the government open, and just voted to keep FISA. They split my district in 2022, and this is what we ended up with. I gave him a chance for a first term. He won't get my vote in November. Even my old district Representative Claudia Tenney voted to keep FISA. Had she remained my rep, I wouldn't vote for her again either. I will no longer hold my nose, and vote for a GOP candidate that I know is going to be bad for the country, just to keep the seat Republican. Too many people still do that, and all it does is perpetuate the Rino problem. I won't be a part of it any longer.

If you consider being told why I think Ron DeSantis is a self-serving prig, as being lectured, you need to think again. It's a personal opinion based on examples I provided. I didn't ask you to agree. Nor did you bother to even respond on the matter.

I hate to be persistent, but I did respond to your false claim that Governor DeSantis “outright lied” to the people of Florida.

After some back and forth you did admit your example was wrong.

Now you claim the Florida legislature did something unusual or unethical in passing legislation allowing Governor DeSantis to run for federal office while governor.

This while giving your imprimatur to former Florida Governor Rick Scott for signing legislation allowing himself to run for federal office while serving as the state's CEO.

Your wrong-headed examples have been refuted; again.
