After Ron DeSantis’s smashing reelection victory....

After Ron DeSantis’s smashing reelection victory in the Florida governor’s race, political analysts have debated whether he can beat Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. DeSantis’s hard-edged culture-warrior persona appeals to many core Republicans and could help him secure the nomination. But attaining the presidency itself will depend on winning over Republican moderates and independents, groups increasingly turned off by populist displays. To reach those voters, DeSantis will have to emphasize a very different set of attributes: his wonky competence as an administrator and his ability to rally bipartisan support for his policies.
One of DeSantis’s biggest strengths in this respect is his record on environmental issues. In recent decades, most Republicans haven’t focused much on environmental policy. Many explicitly reject the Left’s preferred solutions to climate change but don’t offer their own alternatives. DeSantis is in no danger of being mistaken for a progressive climate warrior. But his administration has devoted considerable resources—and spent political capital—pursuing innovative environmental stewardship.
DeSantis calls himself a “Teddy Roosevelt conservationist.” The term suggests a throwback to an earlier era of Republican environmentalism, with policies that emphasize habitat preservation and outdoor recreation. (TR was an indefatigable advocate for national parks and famous for his love of hunting and fishing.) As governor, DeSantis has backed programs to protect the state’s threatened wildlife and preserve wild spaces. In the process, he has challenged some of Florida’s strongest interest groups, including the state’s powerful sugar industry.

These people are a horror show, captives to lobbyists and Karl Rove types. They are filling up their pockets one last time before the music stops and they hand US dopes the bill. Yes, Trump if he’s there. Give them another dose of what they hate.
From your lips to God's ear.
Conservative doesn’t mean anarchist or Captain planet villain. I don’t have a problem with basic protections like not paving over every forest we see for a stripmall and making sure cockroaches aren’t allowed in our hamburger meat. Just because we go way overboard today doesn’t mean things didn’t need a bit of regulation in 1900.

After Ron DeSantis’s smashing reelection victory....
Donald has ripped the veneer off of everything. It’s all a stage show, an act. Once you know it’s fake there’s no going back. Trump is the only real patriot around....
More than likely he will be the 2024 nominee.
“Bolton/DeSantis ‘24”
Nice to see you now supporting DeSantis but Bolton is not on the list.
100%, warts and all.
You are correct.
Just what do you have against “Teddy Roosevelt conservationists”?? 😂
He’s got Texasgator’s vote.
LOL...I 👀 what you did, there.
ha!!!
I think those guys wrote this (glowing) article!
“He’s got Texasgator’s vote.”
Yep. Already voted for DeSantis in 2018 and 2022.
Pick two:
People make fun of others because they want to feel better about themselves to make them feel better.
People make fun of other people because they are jealous of them and want to take away their happiness.
People make fun of other people because they are sad, angry, or hurt and want someone else’s attention.
People make fun of others because they are trying to get revenge on someone who has hurt them in the past.
People make fun of others because they enjoy making people laugh and being the center of attention so that everyone will stop talking about them so that they can be the center of attention themselves.
People make fun of others because they are afraid of the unknown and don’t understand what will happen if they don’t laugh at the jokes.
People make fun of others because they are insecure and want to be heard so that people will listen to what they say.
People make fun of others because they are just mean or just trying to scare them so that people will stop talking about them and not listen to them in the future.
What Is The Disadvantage Of Having Fun With Others?
You will be laughed at by others.
You will have a bad reputation among other people because they will think that you are fun with other people.
You will not have any friends because everyone is fun with other people and everyone wants to be one.
You will feel lonely because you are the only funny person in the world, which is sad and lonely.
“Smashing! Simply smashing! 😉”
Part of the big lie. Sure, he did alright. And his large win percentage was because he limited fraud. However, Donald Trump got a over a million more votes in Florida than him.
Sure, you might say a gov and presidential elections are different. But usually the difference is around 500,000 votes in Florida. Nowhere near a million. Trump easily outperformed DeSantis by any measure.
“More than likely he will be the 2024 nominee.”
And all the Ever-Trumpers here will stay home in 2024 hoping republicans lose both houses and the presidency.
“However, Donald Trump got a over a million more votes in Florida than him.”
Should DeSantis join Trump in announcing a 2024 bid, 66 percent of GOP voters in the Sunshine state would favor their governor, compared to 21 percent who remain loyal to the former president, according to a recent poll conducted by Sachs Media and presented in a newsletter produced by Florida Politics.
When asked who they trust more to be a good role model for young people, respondents chose DeSantis over Trump 89 percent to 4 percent. A significant 81 percent of participants said they have more faith in DeSantis to have a “moral foundation for choices.”
