This seems odd. They printed ballots for election officials to approve and then changed the code for the final batch? Weird.

More like "suspicious"...

Yeah. I saw her on War room only once, and that was ON Election Day. How does that help her? Her pro-Trump credentials seemed strong and honest.

Not sure if he ever had Oz or McCormick on.

Oz could easily ran as a Democrat but that wouldn’t harm the people who want a Republican (conservative) to represent them.

A LOT!!!!!

I was in front of 3 “rhodes scholars” in the voting line. All 3 were waxing on about Oz, and how they “thought” he was a republican.
Was embarrassing their vote counted the same as anyone elses!!!

Ick. Sounds like a bit of a Hobson’s Choice.

Oz makes my skin crawl, though. He seems more dangerous and likely to betray than the Bushie.

So wish the lady had less baggage. She’d have been great I suspect.

PA is blue state. Why expect anything different?<

Not quite right.

We have a demonRAT gubbernor with weak pubbies controlling the House and Senate and a corrupt demonRAT controlled Supreme Court {where most of the damage is done}.

Our House and Senate majorities are part of the Harrisburg little swamp, so they steal and share the boodle.

DeSantis has not been tested in the way Trump has. He hasn’t had to face the full focus and wrath of the left when they’re out for blood. To look good governing a red state like Florida is easy compared to doing what Trump did on the national level. DeSantis has never had to face the full wrath of the Deep State and the Left with their knives unsheathed. No one, DeSantis included, could have withstood the attacks and booby traps Trump had to face in his first term and still accomplish as much as he did. Trump paved the way for guys like DeSantis. DeSantis was just another do-nothing politician before Trump came along. He suddenly found his courage under Trump, or more accurately, Trump has given political cover to people like DeSantis by absorbing all the left’s incoming fire.

Hardly,

What PA is is a state saddled with a state GOP that if feckless, worthless and the eptiome’ of the swamp.

The GOP of PA has controlled both state houses 24 of the last 28 years.

Other than 4 years where the dems held the house, the GOP has had complete control of the legislature, and has never not had control of at least 1 of 2 bodies in that time.

In that time it has also controlled the Governorship, 12 of those 28 years.. and in those 12 of 28 years, that they held the governorship they also held the entire legislature (or 12 years out of 28 were TRIFECTA years).

PA is the fustercluck it is, because the PA GOP are a swamp, period.

And the PA GOP showed their true colors once more and the voters of PA, just like an abused woman, just went running back, to only act when they wind up beaten and abused again.

I’m not defending the democrats behavior in PA, but the real issue in PA politically is the PA GOP....

But don’t take my word for it, check for yourself:

https://ballotpedia.org/Party_control_of_Pennsylvania_state_government

Democrats have not had 1 single session of Legislative control in 28 years... not one.. they held the house for 4 years, that was it, never held the senate...

The PA GOP is the single biggest problem with PA.. and the voters just went running back to their abuser once more this cycle... and the abuser didn’t even have to pretend “this time we won’t kick you in the teeth”, and buy them flowers to do so... they are so used to the abuse its now normalized to them... Because “hey, anyone but the folks my abuser tells me can win, are a waste.”

PA is NOT a blue state... its got a GOP that’s feckless and pathetic and a swamp, and sadly a voting base that as so conditioned to it, they don’t even recognize it.

Nope. PA will either get a RINO, an Oprah Winfrey Mohammadan Turk leftist, or a 7-foot tall freak Communist thug who looks like Satan.

When DeSantis was in the House, he and Jim Jordan were bosom buddies. They both shook up the House and Ron was not shy about it. His mild manner can be deceiving, which I like.

And he never looked for the mic when he was in Congress.

And he never stood up to Boehner or Ryan. DeSantis is no Trump and could never do what Trump was able to do (despite all the incoming he faced as President). For all his willingness to take on the left as Governor of Florida, he’s still a traditional politician, reliant on consultants and donors to tell him what to do. I’ve seen too many conservative “saviors” over the past few years who turned out to be posers, to be fooled by DeSantis. There was a time when Bobby Jindal was touted as the future of the conservative movement because he had accomplished some positive things as Louisiana Governor, and he talked a good game. But he revealed he was wholly a product of GOP Inc. when he ran for President in 2016.

Also, the Uniparty will take an occasional loss if it makes sense for the long game. DeSantis has had free reign to govern as a conservative in Florida. You have to ask yourself, why hasn’t GOP Inc. trained their sites on him or made any attempts to undermine him? Many of DeSantis’s victories were inevitable anyway. The mask mandates, shutdowns, etc. were never going to last forever. Even deep blue states eventually realized they were untenable. So DeSantis was allowed to get ahead of the curve and implement these policies sooner than most other Governors. As a Floridian, I’m glad he did, but that doesn’t mean I take his motives at face value.

We may have to disagree on some things, but one thing we can agree on:

We may as well admit: THERE NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER TRUMP.

That is as plain and sincere as I can be. Perhaps at some future time when the Country is in dire straights again, but we are so lucky to have witnesses a Trump Presidency.

Ron DeSantis is no Trump. But, I do like him and his style (how petty). He is very quick on his feet and he has the intelligent humor that mixes fact with humor. That’s clever.

As far as getting things done, I think he compares pretty well with Trump and all my Florida relatives love him, something I never have heard about previous governors.

And I see him as loyal and genuine. I see him as a future president. Don’t know when.
