Yep, it’s all political theater from this Yale-Harvard elitist graduate who now masquerades as someone who cares about common folk.

Just like Trump, he’s able to trick the uneducated electorate into voting against their own interests. None of DeSantis’ supporters will actually benefit in any way from this New College stunt.

And who, exactly, is "voting against their own interests"? Be specific. Because your interests are most definitely not going to be mine.

Again - this isn't a "stunt." It's a governor carrying out his duties, just like other governors. Deal with it.

Pretty much. And the hypocrisy of claiming to be for small government and then pulling this kind of stunt is just....well, par for the course for modern day Republicans.


Please explain how a governor appointing people to the boards of state universities is in any way a "stunt." You do realize this is typical for most state governors, right? See:

NY, Illinois, CA, Oregon, Washington, just to name a few.

It may be political theater, but he's not elitist and does know what "common folk" experience. He grew up in a family of very modest means in a small town in Florida. His smarts got him to Yale and then Harvard Law School.



DeSabtis about as out of touch with common people as it gets. He avoids interaction with voters like the plague.

When his kids get older, he’ll do anything to send them to Harvard/Stanford.

Story about how the school changed the thoughts and attitudes of a white nationalist (godson of David Duke). It might be a school of weirdos, but not sure it’s irrelevant.

I don't remember "Turn New College into Hillsdale" as part of his campaign platform.


What part of "public university" do you not understand? As governor, he can appoint six board members to any public university in Florida. There are still liberal board members - but now there is finally a balance. Get over yourself.

Who gives two rats' hairy asses? When was the last time you were asked in a job interview how much you know about Africa?


Oh they didn't have to ask with you....
