Ron DeSantis And Marco Rubio Could Be In Big Trouble In Florida

https://www.politicususa.com/2021/08/24/ron-desantis-and-marco-rubio-could-be-in-big-trouble-in-florida.html

"SNIP.....

A new poll has found that both Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio have small leads and support under 50% in Florida.

The poll from Future Majority found:

DeSantis leads potential Democratic nominee Charlie Crist 49% to 45%, and potential nominee Nikki Fried 49% to 44%.

– 51% of voters say DeSantis “cares more about running for president  in 2024” vs. 46% who say he “cares more about the future of Florida.”

– 51% of voters say DeSantis “puts his political ambitions first” vs. 45% who say, “puts people first.”

......SNIP"

but when it's time to vote, they will hold their noses and vote for the republican. I really hope COVID opens people's eyes but I am not holding my breathe till they are defeated.

And then I remembered that the secret society drills this tenet into its initiates: "In chaos comes opportunity."

Really. It's true.

If his appeals to ignorance kill large numbers of voters all bets are off.
