[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope Floridians will remember that right before Hurricane Ian, DeSantis used FL state funds to fly amnesty seekers from TX to other states to score political points.[/quote]

Well that's the thing. And also let our state's property insurance market completely collapse on his watch. Crist, running against him, was voted in as governor last time he won in part to fix the state's property insurance system. So, let's see if that happens again.

I loathe DeSantis but he's seemed ok during the storm. Not great. Not the guy you can't wait to see the next update from. Not the guy who seems to be sharing in people's pain or assuring them that he will be there every step of the way to get people back on their feet.

So, who knows.[/quote]

That is not DeSantis’s thing. He will steal aid money and divert the rest to his friends. [/quote]

Right, but the question was does this natural disaster make his chances of reelection stronger or weaker. I don't think it makes them stronger because he wasn't great on TV. I would think they make them weaker because one big storm shows how horrible it was that he and his cronies in the legislature spent all their time pursuing culture war BS instead of actually focusing their time and attention and our money on things that actually matter. But I don't know if other people feel that way now.

You have to have a viable alternative, too. Crist is a big name in Florida - with a mixed record for winning elections. He's been on TV and out in public being governor-like. Will people see him and think, that's the guy I want at the helm when we get hit by the next storm? I don't know.[/quote]
