WASHINGTON, DC, Jan 27 — Americans continue to relocate to Florida in record numbers. The sun and fun of the sunshine state has a lot to do with it but don’t discount the attraction of the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis. He’s just as popular across the country as he is in his own state. Governor DeSantis was the pick for the Association of Mature American Citizens’ 2022 Man of the Year for the majority of the voters of its 2.4 million members, according to AMAC’s CEO Rebecca Weber.
“Once again they showed their preference for leaders who stand up for America’s Constitutional ideals,” Weber said. “He is a huge proponent of election integrity. He signed legislation into law in 2022 that establishes an Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Florida Department of State. He is a dedicated proponent of ID requirements for absentee vote-by-mail ballots. He signed a sweeping voting bill establishing a new election police force and created harsher penalties for ballot harvesting and instituted deterrences to non-citizen voting.”
One Man-of-the-Year voter said “DeSantis is no-nonsense. He is a doer. He has been on offense every single day taking actions to push back and make substantive changes to move Florida back towards the ideals this country was founded on. Easy #1 choice.” Another voter said he “chose DeSantis because he has all around been a great representative of conservatism on many fronts.”
Other AMAC members who participated in the voting said they liked the way he handles issues such as the bill he supported that targets the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Florida’s public K-12 schools and CRT instruction in the workplace. The bill passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022. Others cited his parental rights legislation and the way he dealt with the Walt Disney Company’s “woke” policies, which wound up getting the company’s head of corporate affairs fired. As one participant in the poll put it, “I admire DeSantis because he stands up to all the woke idiot companies and the backwards way of thinking! He’s a man with a backbone who does the right thing for the people.”
LOL! You go girl!
“I do not recall Trump being on that Christmas Eve vote for Obama Care.”
He wasn’t in Congress in 2010!
May 2017: Trump told Malcolm Turnbull, the Australian prime minister, that “you have better health care than we do.” (Australia has a single-payer system.)
January 2017: “We’re going to have insurance for everybody,”
September 2015: “Everybody’s got to be covered … I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not.”
2000: “I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health … We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare.”
Ask that dumbass about Capacitive Reactance.
It might go on for hours.
You are very naive to be in this situation.
Tell me about the Gipper.
Your crack is completely showing now.
Thanks
“I do not recall Trump being on that Christmas Eve vote for Obama Care.”
He would have if could have voted!
Trump on Obama: “I was his biggest cheerleader,”
“You are very naive to be in this situation.”
Facts are facts.
Don’t you need a rest after a full day of trolling?
Bttt.

Best. Governor. Ever.
One more reason to be thankful for living in Florida...
Ron has the old folks’ vote; now he must solidify the youth vote.
That will not be so easy.
Looks like the DeSantis haters have tried to hijack another thread,……..
I don’t think they hate him so much as they are pointing out that for now, he’s getting a large part of his funds from the elitist, globalist, GOPee scum. It’s just another reason that I will be happy if he chooses to finish out his term down here until 2026.
Well, to your point, the attacks are much too personal….against both DeSantis and, unfortunately against other FReepers….than to be just about donors. Objectively, I’ve yet to see anyone post a list of his donors. And I’ve seen nothing in his policies or performance that comes anywhere near a “globalist” agenda. Would people have him return money to donors that they don’t approve of? Good luck with that.
