First of all, he has zero charisma. None. He is flat and comes across as stupid when he speaks.

Secondly, there are not enough Cubans nationwide to swing the vote toward the man because "democrats. socialism."

Finally, his culture war issues will not play on a national stage. Very limited to Florida and MAGA types, who sorry, are the minority. Electoral college or not.

He is dead in the water rotten fish.

Why do you think Cubans vote republican? Thoughts?

Because they hear Rs throw "socialism" around as catch-all bogeyman and can't see the difference between authoritarian socialist governments and socialism as an economic theory. But Rs, who are truly authoritarian, have done a great job marketing themselves as the freedom party.

In other words, you think Cuban Americans are stupid.

And you wonder why they don't vote for your side...

DP. Exactly. It's always the same thing with these people. Democrats truly think they are better, smarter, superior to everyone else. The sanctimony caught up with them in 2016 and it will again in 2024. Hoisted by their own petard, etc.

Straw man. I did not say stupid. I said Republicans were good at marketing. And misinformed or lied to does not equal being stupid.

Combine that with some social conservatism, and Republicans have a winning recipe. However, no matter how you spin it, American notions of socialism are NOT the same as authoritarian Venezuelan or Cuban style "socialism," but low information voters and disingenuous opportunists will continue to make erroneous links between the two.

Hmm. Sounds a lot like American progressive notions of "fascism." Low information voters and disingenuous opportunists will continue to accuse anyone who deviates from the progressive party line of being "fascists." See how that works?

So electric stoves are "woke liberal bullshit" now or something? LOTS of people have electric stoves. Many of us don't have gas hookups, many of us live in apartments where there are only outlets for electric stoves.

This is complete idiocy on his part. He is absolutely deranged with these games he's playing.

CRANK THAT GAS! WHO CARES ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

Leave it to a guy like DeSantis to cut off the tip of his own dick to spite himself.

Stupid is as stupid does. No need for Democrats to pander to stupidity.

And yet, they do so every single day. So curious.

Hey - if Kathy Hochul can ban gas stoves in NY, DeSantis can certainly have them sold tax free in FL.
I would say Hochul is the deranged one.

Gas is a finite and limited resource. Electricity on the other hand can be generated in any number of ways.

...such as nuclear energy, which Florida enjoys and crazies like you in NY and CA have been shutting down

Gimme your address, I'll have them deliver the next set of spent fuel rods to your back yard.

Oh, so you're anti-electricity now?

Anti-gas and anti-electricity....anti-heating and anti-cooking I guess?

First of all, he never said any of the crap you're attributing to him. It is you, in fact, who sounds completely deranged with your overwrought reaction.

I do find him abrasive and combative BUT many of you are forgetting that the Democrats are abrasive and combative too. Wokery and DEI is extremely divisive. How can it not be? Accusations that America is institutionally and systematically racist, only whites can be racist, that the Memphis police were still racist, are all hugely controversial and offensive to many people.

It's just that in the more liberal parts of the country those who disagree find themselves under a great deal of pressure, cultural or political, to censor themselves. DeSantis is a useful outlet to watch to get a sense of what other places are thinking and their views. The conservatives like him because he is, in their view, doing the exact same thing that the progressive Democrats do, using policy and the courts to ram through controversial stances. Tit for tat. And, here's the kicker, the DeSantis supporters do have a point.

As it stands, he has an excellent chance of winning. He is also the only major "name", both Democrat or Republican, who has a net positive opinion ratings in the polls. It should make for an interesting election.

Excellent analysis. I agree on all counts.

No professional chef, nor anyone serious about cooking, would willingly use an electric stove. Not unless they were forced to by law. And that coercion is the problem.

What kind of clueless smooth brain thinks that gas and nuclear are the only sources of energy we have?

Nope. You aren't paying attention. He literally passed an "anti woke" bill. He's attacking CRT and many other things and calling them out as "woke." Connect the dots. It's all part of a major theme he's pushing.

Cubans like authoritarian leaders like Batista. DeSantis is very similar.

Psst: I am fully aware of everything DeSantis is doing and I support it. CRT deserves to be attacked, as do many other parts of the woke agenda.

Oh, right right. Just like Trump was "like Hitler." Do you people even hear yourselves? With every post you're making it clear just how low your intelligence is - even though you think it's just the opposite.

Of course, his racist pandering is targeted to people just like you who want Blacks to shut up and stay in their place.
