Thi sis just not true. He has been a massively successful governor whom the people re-elected by 20 points. He has a proven ability to carry blue counties.
Floridians pay less overall for healthcare than most people do. And how is it DeSantis's fault if people don't buy health insurance? Remember, Florida has a much older population than most states. (A lot of people retire there due to the cost of living.) Florida is one of the freest, most prosperous states in the country.
Next, you're going to claim that lockdown Dhimmicraps like Cuomo and Newsom handeld COVID better than DeSantis did, which reveals anyne making that claim as a liberal Democrat, not a conservative.
No. I’m going to point out that the 20% win was against an unpopular opponent who had recently changed parties and whom DeSantis outspent by 7fold. Not such an overwhelming win with that factored in. Your assertions about Florida do not reflect the data.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – With top Florida lawmakers signaling that health care issues could be a priority during next year’s legislative session, a report released Thursday showed that Florida saw improvement in 2022 in people having health insurance — but still trailed most of the country.
The U.S. Census Bureau report estimated that 11.2 percent of Floridians were uninsured in 2022, down from 12.1 percent in 2021. The rates reflected insurance provided in employer-based plans and purchased privately, along with coverage through government programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
Only four states had higher uninsured rates than Florida in 2022: Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming, with Texas the highest at 16.6 percent, according to the report. The national rate in 2022 was 8 percent, down from 8.6 percent in 2021.

4. Florida
Florida’s score: 79.51 out of 100
The families of 14% of children in Florida had difficulty paying for their child’s health care bills between 2019 and 2020, ranking second highest in the nation for this metric, only behind Wyoming.
Floridians with employer-provided family health coverage pay the highest annual premium in the nation ($7,079.33), and residents with one additional person on their employer-based health plan pay the second highest annual premium in the nation ($4,684.67), behind only Louisiana.
The cost of health insurance is also causing Florida residents to skip seeing the doctor. Florida residents were fifth most likely to report that they did not see a doctor in the past 12 months due to cost (14.87%). Among the 1,056,000 Florida adults who reported an unmet need for mental health treatment in 2020, 51.9% did not receive care because of cost, ranking sixth highest for this metric.
What any person who claims to believe in the Bible should tell them. That it is an unhealthy lifestyle, and the average lifespan of homosexuals is only 50 years old. It is opposed to the natural nuclear family, which creates great strains on society and our socialistic programs.
It's a choice that people can make, but this lifestyle is not something that should be celebrated, much less fought for, as Trump proudly proclaims to do. It's a selfish, sinful lifestyle, that is an anathema to healthy families, and leads to early death. The Bible refers to it as "an abomination" and rightfully so.
While president, Trump banned trans Americans from serving in the military - a policy that Biden reversed. Trump has indicated he would re-establish the ban.
Often using religious exemptions as a basis, the Trump administration leveraged its regulatory power to roll back anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people in myriad settings, including healthcare, employment, adoption, school restrooms, housing and homeless shelters.
Trump’s time in office also had a lasting impact on the federal judiciary, with his administration placing 234 judges in lifetime positions. His justice appointments have left the Supreme Court with a 6-3 conservative majority.
Nearly 40% of federal judges appointed by Trump to courts of appeals had demonstrated a history of anti-LGBTQ+ bias, according to an analysis released in January 2021 by Lambda Legal, a litigation-focused LGBTQ+ rights organisation.
What should be done about Gays.
Push them off tall buildings?
Should families who have a Gay Member shun them?
Should employers not hire them?
Should restaurants not serve them?
They have always been apart of Human Society.
And will always be a part of ALL Societies.
Trump is not running as a Peacher.
What has Ronnie said about Gays?
I already told you, they should be told their lifestyle is judged by the Bible to be an abomination, and their lifespan will be reduced to an average of only 50 years, close to a 30% reduction. They will bring shame on their families, and have a high likelihood of contracting and possibly further spreading deadly diseases. They should be offered treatment for a mental disorder, as that is what it primarily is.
That is what they should be told, even though Trump wants to celebrate the abomination, instead. He doesn’t want to help them, from dying an early, shameful death, but raise them up as heroes apparently. He wants to counter the teachings of the Bible, and the health and well being of these misguided people for his own personal political power, is the bottom line.
The Bottom line is that Trump is not a Pastor.
He is not a Preacher in a Church.
The kind of talk you mentioned should be handled by places of Worship.
I don’t know any Politician in the U.S. that talks like you want them to talk.
Not even Ronnie From FLA
You asked me what I thought he should say and I told you. It’s the truth and the sooner we admit it, as we did in the past, the better. But I don’t think Trump even believes it’s a sin, or maybe even that anything is a sin. He admitted in an interview before he’s never asked for forgiveness.
But at a minimum he should not be glorifying the homo lifestyle and saying he is fighting for it at parties at his resort, as he is doing. It’s destructive to the party and principles he claims to represent, and destructive to America overall.

Once again name one politician that has made the kind of comments
I quoted above. I am certain Ronnie hasn’t.
“And who would that be?”
I propose Ron DeSantis.
Voters have short memories—and 14 months is an eternity in politics.
An opponent who has been governor. An opponent Trump praised shortly before the election.
DeSantis carried blue counties.
Besides, could he possibly be as unpopular as #QuidProJoe?
Sorry. Trump not only praised DeSantis. Trump’s support was the reason DeSantis became Governor. That is Trump supporting Republicans to MAGA.
DeSantis is not that person. His ambition trumps his commitment to service and he has made very bad decisions. Although DeSantis is very unpopular at this point there may be a path to recovery for him if he puts Floridians & Americans first.
That would be a terrible mistake. Ron brings nothing to the slate, not even his own state.
That would be a terrible mistake. Ron brings nothing to the slate, not even his own state. Ron has already shown he is motivated by personal ambition not service. He has not honored his commitment to Floridians and has subordinated good policy to political expediency.
Sorry about the double post. IDK how that happened.

Forbes:
Survey Methodology
To see how Americans are being impacted by the high cost of health care, the Forbes advisor team commissioned an online survey of 2,000 American adults, which was conducted by market research company OnePoll, in accordance with the Market Research Society’s code of conduct. Surveys were conducted from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, 2022. The margin of error is +/- 2.2 points with 95% confidence. The OnePoll research team, a member of the MRS and has a corporate membership with the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR), oversaw the survey.
Homosexuals are strongly “addicted” to hire other homosexuals. Janet Reno filled the 11th circuit court ASA office with them.
Ron brings ideological sustainability to Presidential Conservatism.
His “political expediency” fits the psyche of Floridians perfectly. I should know, as I’m a Floridian.
