It’s “sleaze”.
You don’t speak for the “good people of Fla.”—you only speak for yourself.
If it is state law in Fla then he needs to abide by it or he’s lawless.
Other states may have different laws.
Any laws that allow a sitting politician to run and not do their job is a bad law/bad practice. I don’t like it and it is off-putting when these politicians do it. We are suckers to allow them to.
You are fine with bending the rules for your precious Ron, but all the “good people of America” know you wouldn’t say the same for another politician.

The anti DeSantis crowds seem to be getting more desperate.

They seem very concerned.

Sure I would.

The nomination is owed to no candidate, they must earn it.

I want a large, robust number of GOP primary candidates and robust debates to let them tell us what are their views, plans, and philosophies. This is democracy, in the real sense.

BTW, I don't have a "bromance" with any candidate, even RDS (who I support currently, but I could change if any GOPer shows him up before the primaries.)

My objective is for the best AND most electable GOP candidate to win the nomination, and then the POTUS.

I'll criticize candidates (and potentials) who I feel deserve it, but I won't verbally potty on my fellow Conservative voters. We are on the same team, we just don't agree on who should be our quarterback.

“Any laws that allow a sitting politician to run and not do their job is a bad law/bad practice.”

But the law as it exists today doesn’t prevent him from running while he’s still governor. It only says that running requires the submission of a non-retractable resignation that takes effect on the day that the term of the office he’s seeking would start, meaning the law clearly allows him to run and continue to serve as governor. The only impact it would have is if he were to lose the presidential race. So your concern expressed here is based on a faulty premise.

Same for you, speak for yourself.

Signed,
A good person of FL who is weary of Trump.
