1. Let the brain drain of academics out of Florida begin.

It'll be a state full of Liberty Universities, I guess.

5. Is Florida even an education destination?

For all of Texas' fabled yee-haw, rootin'-tootin', six-gun shootin' image, it still hosts some of the finest universities in the nation. Does Florida?

6. When I graduated High School all the rich kids in my class went to college in Florida.

I think it was more of a perpetual summer party atmosphere that attracted them then academic achievements.

7. Miami and University of Florida are both really good schools.

9. I was under the impression they had some decent schools there, from my

time living there (military spouse). I would imagine any decent faculty would look at what DeSantis is doing, be horrified, and start brushing up the resume--but maybe tenure will keep them around, I don't know.

11. The University of Florida is considered one of the top public universities in the country.

What they are putting out is impressive.

12. That's good to know.

Thanks!

That figures.

3. He's Going To Run For president In 2024

And probably with TFG's endorsement. That's my guess.

We better pray that Biden's approval rating stays strong for the next 3 1/2 years.

8. Trump will turn on him, even if he decides not to run.

He's a narcissist and will see still see DeSantis as competition for his legacy.

4. Test case? The petri dish overfloweth.

I've seen this movie and there's a zombie apocalypse any time now.

10. RWers have perverted that state for yeeeeeeears to come

They’ve already fixed it that Rs win federal and statewide races. If Biden/Harris win the state at re-election, Tallahassee will step and overturn the results. No doubt.

15. Read the 15th amendment ..it is nonsense that ANY state legislature thinks they are going to just

Ignore the popular vote and elect who they want...it doesn’t matter what their new laws say

[PortTack]

13. What "floats" in FL sinks in the rest of the country...

Yes, the red states will go for whatever shit can candidate they put up, but he isn’t frump. With what he has done- bogus election laws, 1st amendment violations... it will not play well on the national stage

14. Rollins College is a very fine school

16. It works in Latin America, which is where a lot of his constituents are from
