“When I was growing up, I had to register as a Democrat if I wanted to vote in the primaries. There were no Republicans available to run. Not even for Sheriff.”

Same here and I grew up in a solid red county.

“A real dim bulb that one.”

For opposing deficit spending?

“So??”

Does that mean you believe DeSantis got Sasse to UF?

*** Why would I try to tell you that?***

You have been implying that Sasse will be able to maintain his “conservative” status and be successful in Gainesville. I think at best he will butt heads, many many heads, and if he isn’t butting heads, then he isn’t as conservative as you think he is.

I am surprised he’s even been given a shot at UF. To me, that indicates that he’s “woke” enough.

JMHO. YMMV. Have a great day.

I repeat: You have no idea of Florida politics.

I have no idea how Sasse got there. DeSantis is a good guess.

You know, since I don’t live there anymore, I don’t have time to watch every little thing that goes on there. And since you do, I can see why my opinions are grating to you. Can we just agree to disagree?

One of DeSantis’ many moves to make the education system in Florida more conservative.

You don’t have to. Just go listen to DeSantis’ inauguration speech and put the moves into the big picture. Sasse is going to UF because he is principled and won’t go woke.

I would like to be a fly-on-the-wall during those closed door hearing “negotiations”.

BTW, DeSantis closed those doors for this purpose.

I think Sasse is conservative. His dislike of Trump I think is due to intellectual snobbery. I believe he came from the academy it’s where he should have stayed.

He might be good for this university.is a good place for him. If he thinks his past anti-Trump posturing will put him in good standing with the faculty, he’s as naive as he is an Ivory Tower snob.

“Then, why the RINO label by so many FR members?”

Ask them why they consider a hard right conservative a Rino.

“It looks bad. It smells bad. What it looks like is two rich guys using their money and power to grab a Senate seat,” said Jeremy Aspen, an Omaha Republican and former state party delegate. “This is how authoritarian countries operate, where a powerful few ride roughshod to get what they want. Things like this stay on voters’ minds.” (AP)"

A blogger (which in 2023, is nothing more than a bowl clogger) who retweets Justin Amash trash and Lizard Cheney midol moments? Who calls Trump a "socialist"? *SPIT* *SPITSPITSPITSPITSPITSPITSPITSPITSPIT*

Like taking 3 1/2 years to ban CRT from Florida schools?

C'mon Ronlim, it ain't like you ain't been banned before lofl...you're like one of those old-school mice toys that only needs two turns to scurry across the floor in a mechanical freakout.
