Guess he will have to go back to Florida and keep up his work to spread C-19.

…. the disease.*. The man went to Harvard and Yale. Btw. He was using made up crap
crap as a large part of his platform. Both CRT and “Being Woke” are not real. (although
woke has and had real meaning as per civil rights). And if you stuck a needle in his fore-
head so much Botox would spew out that the EPA would have to declare the area as a
toxic waste site.

*. He killed and or sickened thousands people with his misinformation about the virus,
the vaccine, masking, and social practices.

I would say that DeSantis is one of the biggest con artists of our time but there are so many contenders.

If we survive I wonder what historians will say about all this.

Yeah, sorry. Folks won't like him then either.

He's peaked in Fla politics with dead end as Governor (term limits stop him from third term). He would have to pry the U.S. Senator seats from Scott and Rubio to ascend any higher and they ain't giving those up for nothing!

Casey, your dream of First Lady WILL...NOT...HAPPEN.

The wailing. Worst campaign ever with a strategy that backfired spectacularly.

There's no out-Trumping Trump; he's the MAGA Maniac. The only thing DeSantis proved is he could be even more unlikable than the Don.

That in itself is an amazing accomplishment.

Not soon enough. But I'd settle for Wednesday after he's humiliated in NH.

He should have waited until 2028 when Trump will be out of the picture. It would have allowed him to finish out his term as governor and then to have all of 2027 free to start his campaign for President. He was never going to win in a race against Trump. He needs Trump voters to win but he is not going to pull enough of them from Trump himself.

So if/when he runs in 2028 he seems more reasonable? His strategy was to out Trump everyone but that is never going to work. These people forget that Trump was a celebrity for years before he became a politician. He had to do zero work for name recognition. Unless you are a political junky like we are, you wouldn't know who Ron D is. But he acted like everyone did know him. And of course the real him is as dull and boring as they come.
