[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DeSantis has a big problem that he has moved far too right into crazyland in order to gain national attention. No one other than our resident conservative bigoted keyboard warrior believes the policies and rhetoric he is pushing isn’t anti-LGTBQ. Furthermore it’s viewed as cruel by moderates and clownish in the face of real national issues. He’s seen as captain COVid with a shockingly unnecessary death toll. His disastrous covid actually helped keep Newsom in CA in office. We don’t want to be like Florida brought Dems out in record numbers. His treatment of the AA community is so appalling from not getting early vaccines into AA areas to removing representation, he’s a few steps away from KKK territory. Let’s not forget how rude and dismissive he’s been of Parkland victims, being pro school shooting always wins suburban women. He’ll do great in the Republican primaries with the white supremists, alt right radio and social media crowd and boomers who live in the villages. This is not enough to win a national election and maybe not enough to even win the primary.

It’s just like you forgot the republicans [i]always[/i] fall in line….[/quote]

But that doesn't matter.  Republicans are only 28% of the electorate.  Democrats used to be much larger, over 40%, but have dropped to a mirrored 28%.  Independents are now 42% of the electorate, so appealing to the moderates and independents is key.

Right now, neither Biden nor Trump or DeSantis appeals to the middle and Independents.  If either party can find a candidate that does appeal to the middle, they will take the election.

In 2020, Biden appealed more to the middle and won the election.  At this point, both parties are pushing further away from the middle and that is costing them dearly.  [/quote]

+1 you nailed it[/quote]

Please Biden is a total middle of the road politician. He is what the independent moderates crave. That said your logic is way off. The strategy is to get your base out and keep everyone else at home- specially the independents. Look at trumps campaign. [/quote]

He was - I don't know if he is anymore. I guess we'll see. I still like Biden but it seems like I am increasingly alone in that position. I worry what happens when he's campaigning on his own self and his own achievements instead of campaigning on being a reset from the nightmare Trump times.[/quote]
