DeSantis For President in 2024?

[BillStime]

The “tough on crime” and “defund the police” crowd wants to pardon this POS:

 

 

Tough on crime

Dissing Orange Man AND Saint Fauci? Bold start.

DeSantis Signs Law That Strips Illegal Aliens of Their Drivers Licenses;

Leftwing #Resistance Media Shrieks That Minorities Are Terrified of DeSantis.

 

 

Oh, and by the way: If you say “other politicians betrayed us.” No, wrong. Not like this. Other politicians offered you lip service with no action backing it up, mere words, mere promises that were immediately detectable as insincere when uttered.

 

Rudy Giuliani, for example, almost immediately revealed himself as a pawn of the open borders corporate conspiracy when he said he would not build a wall, but instead would create a “virtual wall” of drones and electronic monitoring.

 

Even the lip service offered by the open borders corporate conspirators has to be extracted from them under duress, because they so hated to even have to offer the Racist Promise of cracking down on illegal immigration.

 

Name one politician who offered this much actual legislative and executive power action — acts, not words — and then “betrayed” people by then suddenly reversing himself and doing the exact opposite when elevated to a new office.

 

You can’t. No such examples exist. In all of human history, there are zero examples of this crazy scenario unfolding.

 

And for good reason — because this is literally an insane thing to do, and people who keep insisting that this is a likely outcome are talking up insane nonsense as a cope.

 

Screwing over your voting base only makes any sense if there is some larger base with which you can replace the one you’re abandoning. Given all of what DeSantis has done on pronouns, on banning CRT and gender theory in public schools, on ending DEI majors at Florida universities, at busing illegals to blue cities, on cancelling illegal’s drivers licenses — what liberal/moderate base could DeSantis possibly appeal to after he executes his Long Con and “betrays” the right?

 

What does “betraying” conservatives actually get DeSantis?

 

DeSantis has burned every bridge with the media and the NeverTrump/neocon contingent. They’re now praising Trump in order to attack DeSantis.

answer… Disney is a mess which is why they brought Iger back in 2020 and canned Chapek. Iger is undoing everything set in motion by his predecessor, and if he can pin it on a political spat along the way, even better. 
 

Democrats crying about a Republican governor working to revoke their corporate tax benefits and government subsidies need to look in the mirror and remember their party talks about opposing these. 
 

 

First paragraph is spot on, the second I will add in I suspect that the legislature wanted to end the Reedy Creek zone for at least a decade, at this point it only benefits Disney. They did not touch it because fighting with Disney used to be kinda the third rail of Florida but Disney decided it was gonna lie about politicians so the politicians decided it was time.

Much like all the corporations pandering to the left nationally it’s all a game

I just had this argument with my colleague today.  I told him that the RCA benefited Disney otherwise they would have ditched it a long time ago.  And apparently Ron has raised over $8M since his campaign launch.  So much for it being unsuccessful...

I'm thinking you all have seen the writing on the wall and concluded trump can't win.  Desantis has a better chance against whomever D's nominate but there are too many solid trumpers in the base imo.

[SCBills]

Seeing clips of DeSantis from various appearances today..

 

VERY different approach.  

 

Going directly at Trump.   In every line of attack, he compliments the DJT the base fell in love with on a topic, but points out how Trump’s no longer that guy.   Then goes further by saying that he’ll finish what Trump said he would. 

[SCBills]

It’s all very online stuff, but if anyone knows who Christina Pushaw is … I guess they were waiting until DeSantis made it official .. she ratio’ing Trump influencer accounts nonstop.

I didn't know Bruce was a Trump fan. I would have thought he was a Liberal.

Got it, you make stupid comments, and when I ask you to explain it you want me to figure it out myself. I have figured it out, you either lie or repeat the dumbest thing possible and feel justified because you think DeSantis is bad. 

It appears that SUNY is swimming in Billstime waters to me. No one to take seriously.

tl;dr 

Federal tax revenues up about 15% in the last couple years. NY State tax revenues down 17%

 

People do vote with their feet.

 

(Not sure if this belongs here or in one of the NYS threads, but there was some discussion here about New Yorkers leaving for Florida ...)

This might simply be a case of a semi literate writer but the headline is extremely misleading. It insinuates that Disney is defying DeSantis by investing in Florida which is what he wants.

DeSaster - why should we be forced to live like this?

If this is DeSantis fault - 2 rival groups (gangs) shooting at each other - but no ARs.  The things DeSantis is selectively responsible for - and not responsible for in your world is truly stunning.   

So now it’s permitless carry.  Mmmm k.  

 

So how’s that working out in Los Angeles or Chicago?  
 

 

 

But it’s awesome to see you cower.  Very few Trump posts from you these days.  Your rhetoric went from “he’ll never be the nominee” to now “he’ll never be president.”

 

Yep.  The fear is real. 

 

And I’ve been here in the greater Orlando area for 5 days now.  
 

It is like these people were…..never locked down.  The people are amazing.  The culture and respect for each other and the law - I truly believe is the result of a state that did not lock them up.  There is a happiness here you don’t see anywhere else outside of pockets around the country.   
 

DeSantis is a reflection of good people.  He serves these good people by protecting their interests and respecting their freedoms. 
 

He’s inevitable.
