“DeSantis is a distant, and I mean distant second.”
DeSantis is more conservative than Trump and a better leader.
A purple state gave him a 20 point win.
A solid blue county went from -20 to +7 red.
DeSantis took on the teachers’ union in Florida. Trump did some great things but he failed to move the country.
Oh really? Historically, when midterms roll around, the party of the President loses seats and majority in one or both Houses. That's the way it's been for a very long time.
I have no idea how this will play out. Look at Garland’s face. He is about to break into tears. Sad looking fellow. He knows he is on thin ice.
And you know that for a fact because you are psychic? Can you then explain why Ron DeSantis canceled Rick Scott's suspension of Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes, and accepted her resignation even after a Judge said that she had clearly broken election law?
Brenda Snipes: how a Florida election official became focus of recount fury
Brenda Snipes says Gov. DeSantis let her resign with ‘my name and my dignity’ intact
Snipes originally submitted her resignation after Scott suspended her, then withdrew it, more than likely because there was a new Governor coming in, and she figured she might be able to negotiate a deal. She obviously did cut some kind of deal with DeSantis, and she probably walked away with her pension intact as well, despite years of corruption. DeSantis was quoted as saying: "It was time to focus on the future."

“Oh really? Historically, when midterms roll around, the party of the President loses seats and majority in one or both Houses. That’s the way it’s been for a very long time.”
The president is not elected on midterms.
Don’t ever underestimate a great conservative that turns a solid blue county from -20 to +7 red!
Duh! Of course he isn't, but the House and Senate races take place, and that's where majorities historically change. I'm glad to see you have faith that there won't be any election fraud come 2024, or even during next year's elections when 2/3rds of Congressional Democrats will be up for re-election.
“Can you then explain why Ron DeSantis canceled Rick Scott’s suspension of Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes, and accepted her resignation even after a Judge said that she had clearly broken election law?”
He canceled the suspension because she resigned!
She rescinded her original resignation and filed suit. A judge ruled that she had been denied due process.
DeSantis told her to resign or else. She resigned.
“but the House and Senate races take place, and that’s where majorities historically change.”
No change in Senate. In fact, we lost a seat.
“Can you then explain why Ron DeSantis canceled Rick Scott’s suspension of Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes, and accepted her resignation even after a Judge said that she had clearly broken election law?”
She had a lawsuit against the state and a federal judge in her pocket.
DeSantis “convinced” her that dropping that suit and resigning was in her best interest.
No, you don't have to be psychic to understand why she took back her resignation, and chose to fight for her job, knowing full well that Rick Scott wasn't going to be Governor anymore. DeSantis had already been declared the winner, and she knew he would be the next Governor when she withdrew her resignation. Why did she do that if she didn't think she'd be able to work on getting a deal...which she did in the end.
After a Judge determined she broke election laws in 2016, the "Florida Department of State said elections experts would be dispatched to monitor Snipes’s office in future elections to 'ensure that all laws are followed.'” Despite being monitored, she was once again chastised by a Judge in August 2018 for the way she was handling vote-by-mail absentee ballots. The Republican Party filed suit against her and got an injunction preventing her from opening up any mail-in ballots in secret, or before the Canvassing Board met to determine the ballots’ validity. So even though DeSantis knew that she had violated election law twice, once in 2016, and again in 2018, and that the Florida Department of State had previously been ordered to monitor her work, when he took office in 2019, he cancelled Scott's totally justified suspension of Snipes, and allowed her to resign. For somebody who is supposed to be tough, he allowed a known corrupt election supervisor to get off easy. Don't you wonder why?
No, he cancelled her suspension first, then accepted her original resignation letter.
Yes. He made sure she resigned before cancelling the suspension.
I hope you would not do otherwise.
No, he’s very comfortable with his decision to hand this over to a known political assassin.
His goal is to annihilate Trump and his family.
If you read my original comment, you'd have known that is what I said. In midterm elections, the party of the President historically since WWII, loses one or both Houses of Congress. At Trump's midterm elections in 2018, Republicans lost the House but kept the Senate. Most Presidents in the past have lost either both Congressional Houses, or one Congressional House during their midterm elections.
“historically “
Historically, Florida was a purple state. Not anymore.
What has that got to do with the price of eggs? You're changing the subject.
I don't think it would a bit of good.
The DC lawyers (politicians) no longer fear the people. They fear the muslims, BLM, antifa and all the crazies that rule the cities.. Those who have the stones to burn, loot and to kill..
We, on the other hand, just stand about with our hands in our pockets and whine with every violation of the constitution, with every violation of law the FBI, CIA, DHS, IRS the DOJ and every other three letter abomination puts on us..
The ONLY thing the "Democratic" politicians fear are those in their own party. In MHO...
Where's the link to that information source? She'd already submitted her resignation to Scott, then took it back. DeSantis accepted her original resignation from January 4, 2018. She never submitted a new one to him. Thus, he lifted her suspension, and accepted the resignation she had originally submitted to Rick Scott.
Broward election official resigns after DeSantis rescinds her suspension
Quote from above article: "Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes resigned Friday, hours after Gov. Ron DeSantis reversed the suspension imposed by his predecessor that led her to rescind her previous resignation."
