[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to deny DeSantis won a massive landslide in Florida, a traditional swing state that voted for Obama, and he won every education demographics too. Including the ones that normally go for the Democrats.

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.

Well stated. Especially your third paragraph. [/quote]
