DeSantis made sure Florida’s were on the level.

For his efforts he got re-elected for four more years to do more of the same. That war isn't over.

It wouldn't be so bad if so many Conservatives weren't supporting MSNBC with their TV subscriptions.

Seriously, with the House under GOP control, we just may have a chance to save this country. Shouldn't we start by choosing that over the woke propaganda passing for entertainment these networks make us pay for?

How has DeSantis been disloyal to Trump?

How has he been loyal? Take your time.

“ In the face of a guaranteed DeSantis victory, the national DNC vote fraud machine pulled all its troops from Florida to deploy elsewhere.

This is obvious.”
*************************************************************

I think the “heat” that DeSantis and his people brought to the Florida elections processes made cheating (other than the most minor exceptions) by the DemocRATS nearly impossible. And we have seen the results of that.

I wish Governor Ducey had the guts/gumption to do the same in Arizona. But he didn’t and we’ve seen the bad results of that neglect.

Flack = Target

It is all so endearing when the media outlets, that HATE republicans, start writing stories lamenting the travails of republicans.

Um, for one, he never bad-mouthed him. He never criticized him. He never said a bad word about the guy.

Lemme guess? Was he supposed to pledge fealty to King Donald and promise not to run in '24? Is that what loyalty is.

Is that what earned him Trump's wrath one night before an important election?

The reality is that the DeSantis positions that are decried by the media are supported by 70% of the population when they are actually informed of the details. “Don’t Say Gay” was really “no sex or gender discussions as part of the curriculum in K-3.” Florida’s anti-abortion law actually permits abortion in the first 15 weeks with exceptions beyond. If anything, DeSantis is a moderate conservative. The real extremist are the ones that want to push gender ideology on kindergartners and legalize abortion up to birth and beyond. A legitimate media would point out which side’s positions are widely supported and who really has the extreme positions.

MSDNC is starting early for 2024. They realize DeSantis is the future and they won’t have Trump to kick around anymore. They haven’t called DeSantis a racist...yet. I give them 3 months before they pump up the R word machine and start targeting DeSantis with it.

“DeSantis turned blue into red. He is a leader with a positive message. The left is very afraid of him.”

My Marxist historian neighbor said exactly this the other day. He’s much more worried about DeSantis getting the Republican nomination in 2024 than he is about Trump.

He has probably talking to friends in Miami-Dade County.

DeSantis turned that -20 county to +7 red.

Florida 2022: Where Have All The Democrat "Voters" Gone, Long Time Passing?
Florida 2018 gubernatorial election by county and Florida 2022 gubernatorial election by county ^ | November 16, 2022
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4109638/posts

Nearly a million Florida Democrats "disappeared" from the 2018 totals - and 2.2 million from the 2020 totals.

Just like the quarter of a million Missouri Democrats who "disappeared" between 2008 and 2012, after Obama lost Missouri by a mere 3,900 votes in 2008.

The Democrat vote fraud generals move their fraud armies around to where they are needed.

This 2022 "election" was totally engineered.

The 2020 "election" was "proof of concept".

” “Don’t Say Gay” was really “no sex or gender discussions as part of the curriculum in K-3.””

It was really a parents’ rights bill. DeSantis doen’t patch, he builds a solid foundation.

Discussions are allowed but the bill specified what is not allowed in the curriculum.

Wrong. DeSantis ignored Trump on mail voting. And it’s why he did well. The Florida GOP basically invented mass mail voting. And it worked. Almost as many Republicans vote by mail in Florida as Democrats:

https://countyballotfiles.floridados.gov/VoteByMailEarlyVotingReports/PublicStats

DeSantis has demographics on his hands. Lots of retiring people moved to Florida who are Republican. 65+ is the most Republican age group. Once you get into your 80s, vote by mail is so much easier.

Also, the Cubans have been moving back to the Republican party after being scared at first by the media about Trump.
