Related: About this forumDean: Covid-19 will end mini-Trump's Florida career like it ended Trump's presidency
We can only hope #deathDeSantis will
fade away. But my guess is -he is like Trump--he will make trouble for decades.
As Florida's Covid-19 caseload breaks the state's own all-time records, doctor and former governor Howard Dean appraises the troubled record of Florida Governor DeSantis, giving him an 'F' on substance. Dean says Desantis, who has styled himself after Donald Trump, will find Covid-19 dealing him the same political fate as Trump in this interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber. (The interview was part of a longer reported segment documenting DeSantis' record.)Aug. 11, 2021

(9,998 posts)I have little doubt that the brilliant constituents in Floriduh will elect him to a new term next year, and give him a platform from which to run for President in 2024.
He hasn't come all this way to let some angry voters stand in his way. If he has to rig the votes, he'll do it. He does it every day with the Covid #'s, which I'm sure has been good practice for the election.

(9,998 posts)But I have very little faith in Floridians to do the right thing and elect him.
I have more faith that DeSatan will do whatever he must, including rigging the election, to ensure he retains his power. He wants to run for President, and that's not gonna happen if he gets voted out of office.
I have little faith in the future of this country, unfortunately.

(9,998 posts)They may not be as screwed up as we are, but they elected a Doofus in Boris, and voted for Brexit, against their best interests IMO.

(9,998 posts)But honestly, I have Zero faith in FL voters, much as I do with TX voters.
I don't doubt that DeSatan will do everything he can, legal and otherwise, much like his cult leader, to remain in power, and continue his quest to run for President.
It's a Cult, and we're not followers, so we may not understand it, but that does not mean they don't exist. He maintains a lot of support. He should be polling at 24%, not 44.

(102,360 posts)DO YOU really blame Biden for that? REALLY?

(9,998 posts)How the hell is President Biden going to get the people who HATE him and everything he says, to get vaccinated?
If anything, their fucking goal is to make Biden look bad. They'll take a 100,000 more deaths, if it Owns The Libs.

(36,516 posts)He (Dean) has said Republican members of the House of Representatives were particularly inept. There are some House Republicans who are basically a sentient YouTube comment section, Dean said. They have nothing to contribute, frankly, to American politics, except for incendiary and sometimes delusional public statements.
After the Jan. 6 insurrection, Dean said the need to keep these people from power has become all-encompassing, and he called on members of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to follow the lead of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in moderating their language while continuing to push their agenda within the Democratic framework because the alternativea Republican administration containing the likes of Sen. Josh Hawley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeois too alarming.
