(914 posts)And big money outfits on the right.
The only difference between he and Trump is that he is a bit less of a Vince McMahon and thinks whites are even bigger victims of the system.
DeSantis is dangerous.

disantis is another fucking dittohead who Limbaugh bragged about as an admitted dittohead - a grad of the Limbaugh university, a guy who got interviews with Limbaugh
and he nor the fla GOP couldn't do shit if 5 fla unis started looking for apolitical alternatives for the 20 x-limbaugh stations they broadcast sports on. their advertisers would flee and the stations and their dittoheads would freak out and draw more attention to their ignorance, racism, and disantis support
FLORIDA 20 Florida 10, Florida St. 4 Miami 2, South Florida 2, Central Florida 2
disantis needs to be asked directly in public about what he thinks about Limbaugh and global warming until that albatross can be pinned on him

(45,447 posts)GOP voters are deplorable and will support whoever "owns the libs".
and he'll be elected with the help of the new voter suppression laws being passed.

(14,907 posts)Hes corrupt as Trump, but educated fascist straight outta Ed Meeses Feudalist Society.
StevieM
(10,500 posts)I think Biden will seek a second term, all the predictions that he won't notwithstanding. And I fully expect Trump to run again, since in his own deluded mind he was victorious the last time.
I think Kamala Harris vs. Ron DeSantis will happen in 2028.
John Ludi
(589 posts)"prediction" is that this guy steals the election in '24 and Trump proves to be the warm up act to the REAL fascist headliner. All we have now is a temporary reprieve from the tidal force of the Great Unraveling. Intentional malevolence just oozes from this guy.

(10,500 posts)I expect DeSantis and Harris to run against each other in 2028.
doesn't finally do us the service of expiring, I could see it. A lot can happen to a body in that shape in three years.

(5,275 posts)Hes like a more polished, smarter version of Twitler.....but thats not that hard to be.
This is largely Urban with help from an increasingly large number of Suburbanites against rural people.
Again the game was rigged against Democrats from the start. There really needed to be a North and South Dakota? But Conservatives saw a chance for two more Senators. And on and on including of course the unique Electoral College, where you can win but still lose.

(12,213 posts)It would be awesome to see Trump lose the GOP ticket ( if thats even a real thing anymore), but I think DeSantis would be just as bad.
jimfields33
(15,807 posts)Hes not going to barf twitter nonsense everyday like trump. He will be disciplined and work his evil behind the scene. He does that in Florida where I live. The only way to stop him is winning in 2022. Remember he barely won in 2018.
radical noodle
(8,000 posts)I also live in Florida. DeSantis scares me as much or more than trump.
PortTack
(32,770 posts)And start bashing him. If he whines like he usually does, subtle hints and digs...the cult will pick up on it and may find him not pure enough. Kind of like the run off races in GA.
JMHO..but see it as a definite possibility
ancianita
(36,058 posts)He's so totalitarian that he'll never be elected. The nation is paying attention.
PortTack
(32,770 posts)His fascist meme may play well in FL and other un-redeemable red states, but not on the national stage. Dems and independents everywhere are woke to the terrifying idea of another frump.

(32,626 posts)at least more than anyone else he comes up against. Any Republican, anywhere should come with a dire warning. Howdy Doody could run, and have the same results. They're all Howdy Doody.

(1,990 posts)He wouldn't have even beat Adam Putnam in the primary if Putnam hadn't been a "never-trumper" and he wouldn't have won the governor's race if the Democrats hadn't run the worst candidate in modern history. He isn't electable as POTUS. He can keep wishing all he wants.
PortTack
(32,770 posts)The Dems did run the absolute,worst candidate.
What are your feelings about Charlie Crist?
obamanut2012
(26,079 posts)Gwen Graham.
ScratchCat
(1,990 posts)She was my choice and I think she would have beaten DeSantis easily. I also think Bill Nelson would have kept his Senate seat over Scott if Graham had been the candidate.
I'm not saying this to re-hash the past election; just giving my opinion that I don't think Ron is as electable as some may think. He is a 100% Trump humper who is completely tied to the failed POTUS.
obamanut2012
(26,079 posts)And, I also don't think he is that electable. He also has no charisma.

(1,990 posts)someone else who isn't a "re-tread" or a party-switcher. We need new blood. He wouldn't be terrible, but I'm hoping for better.
obamanut2012
(26,079 posts)I almost cried when Gillum someone won the Dem primary. And, Gillum was a very bad candidate, and he barely lost. Gillum should have begged Graham to be his running mate, or even someone like Lori Berman, instead of some no-name businessman.

(1,910 posts)Every single thing this clown does is for 2024. He is absolutely convinced he will be President.
Good news is most swing state independents and moderates think 'Florida man' is a total joke so he will be at a disadvantage just based on being associated with Florida.

He must be voted out in massive blowout.
Come on Florida get rid of De Satan!

(31,261 posts)He puts on the bumpkin act to fool people.
belpejic
(720 posts)If he hadn't been a good baseball player, and he relied on wingnut affirmative action to get into law school.
He's not stupid at all, and he's definitely evil, but I prefer to think about him as a yappy Chihuahua from hell--loud, obnoxious, threatening, but ultimately not on the same level as the big dogs.
