Deranged thinking? Are you SERIOUS? The situation on the ground does not match the polls at all. Seriously-- Trump keeps getting indicted, attacks the heartbeat bill as "a horrible thing," sides with Disney (losers!), endorses all sorts of liberal policies, and HIS SUPPORT AMONG REPUBLICANS GOES UP??!!??

Meanwhile, DeSantis protects children, sigs a strong pro-life bill, beats Disney and its wokeness, runs his state effectively through a mass shooting and a hurricane, and generally stands on conservative ideas in every case -- AND HIS SUPPORT AMONG REPUBLICANS TANKS??!!??

Do you seriously expect me to believe that?

Perhaps you need to examine your assumptions to understand DeSantis’ unpopularity. Millions will be spent in legal fees because of DeSantis’ precipitous and poorly orchestrated actions against Disney. Rather than having “won” against Disney, by grandstanding, DeSantis furnished Disney with arguments for Disney’s court actions against Florida. One of the strongest is evidence contained in DeSantis’ book that indicated the actions were a reprisal for political speech by Disney. That kind of reprisal is illegal.

Your Trump “quotes” are in accurate & out of context. Apparently many people add up the reversal of Roe v Wade & the return of the power to regulate abortion to the States as much more significant than a 6 week bill for one state that will be tested by legal actions.

DeSantis has not successfully addressed many issues in Florida that have worsened during his term: Under DeSantis, Florida has some of the highest health insurance premiums in the nation. 20% of Floridians lacked health insurance entirely — more than almost any other state and one of the worst states in the nation for child health care access. DeSantis failed to address the state’s unemployment system before the pandemic. When the crisis hit, it was Floridians who paid the price, unable to access earned benefits — or even get their phone calls answered by DeSantis’ bureaucracy.
