“DeSantis did not make it personal, it was well stated. Like him more every day.”
A numbers argument (a mistake if anyone actually looks at them). And of course numbers don’t lie, but liars use numbers.
I like DeSantis as governor and have voted for him twice. Here is where the numbers come in, Trump’s vote total in Florida was 5,668,731, DeSantis’ vote total 4,613,783. While DeSantis might have won by a higher percentage, he got over a million less people to vote for him than Trump.
I know some whiners are going to say, well a presidential election is different. True, but no where a million vote different from the Gov totals. Usually the vote difference is half that.
In essence Trump way outperformed DeSantis.
There is two years. That’s a lifetime in politics. I’m not 100% behind anybody at this point. It’s too early and currently only Trump has announced.
Not to get too into the statistics…when a candidate was clearly walking away with the race the voters are going to drop off. That’s why they discuss margins instead of vote totals.
