SCBills Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Ya know.. I was starting to worry a bit that DeSantis, while an extremely effective leader, might not have the confidence/quick-wit needed to take on the political king of those characteristics … …. Tonight is proving me that he just might. Trolling Trump by going to Des Moines after DJT cancelled his event due to a “weather emergency” is wild .. and I didn’t see it coming from DeSantis.

From everything I’ve heard and what I see, he won’t be a serious candidate until the next cycle. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a practice run this time around though to gain experience, learn how to walk and talk, etc. His donors appear to be drying up also. It also isn’t a great climate for his brand of politics on a national level, which you will find out shortly. You can already tell that most voters have no stomach for culture wars this time around. The stuff just doesn’t break through outside of your average drunk uncle visiting for Thanksgiving. He also has a name recognition problem that Trump never had. Most voters have no idea who the guy is so a lot will hinge on his national introduction. Anyone’s guess what that will look like. Not very promising at the moment.

Sure.. if you believe everything Trump’s PR rep Maggie Haberman says, I can see how you believe that. I doubt you’ve ever watched a speech of his .. it’s far less focused on “culture wars” than you seem to think. However, in regards to the culture wars, here’s two things: 1) it is effective when the messenger knows how to discuss it. See, DeSantis & Youngkin. 2) The culture wars are starting to permeate the suburbs/normies. The biggest issue for R’s (aside from messaging) was that this seemed like a non-issue to many in their life. Not so much anymore. There isn’t a ton of polling, but in the ones that are out there, DeSantis is within the margin of error, or tied with Biden, in states like Wisconsin, Colorado and Virginia. His biggest hurdle isn’t the General, it’s getting past Trump. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the books had the words "social justice" and "critical race theory" in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books are banned from the school library There were books “banned” (not allowed) at public schools long before Libs went full LGBTSAWYJN664;;:/-7899999 Woke.

You are pathetically gullible. We have an entire semester class in high school on the Holocaust which has been spread to every high school in the past 4 years, previously schools could choose if they even offered it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book banning has existed for centuries, no one said otherwise I just said it’s never the answer to any problem I like the fact that you are willing to admit that you believe children should be allowed to access all the porn they want no matter what age they are, I disagree vehemently l, but at least I know where you are coming from. I know you must believe this because you are arguing against DeSantis on this topic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the FBI's most recent data, the total crime rate in Jacksonville, FL is 3,569.3 per 100,000 people, which is 52.14% higher than the national rate and 65.78% higher than the Florida total crime rate1. In 2020, property crimes dropped by 17% in Florida, while the number of violent crimes edged up 2.3%2. Jacksonville is still considered the murder capital of Florida2. The crime index in Jacksonville is 8 out of 100, which means it is safer than only 8% of U.S. cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
