Yes? And for whom do we vote?

That is the Hobson's Choice, isn't it? We've been voting "lesser of two evils" for so long that two or three terrible choices is all that remain. I had hopes for DeSantis, but apparently, we haven't gone far enough down this rabbit hole for enough people to see that he was the best candidate we've had in decades. So here we are. Screwed no matter what. Hang on folks, the next few years are gonna be rough!

People said DeSantis had no charisma and DJT had mean tweets. Seriously people are amazingly ignorant.

APPLY for Project 2025 and get in the vipers' nest to help clean it out. I know of NO OTHER grassroots option and action to resist the Progressive-Commie Gvt warring against us

I've been so publicly conservative for so long now, that they probably wouldn't let me anywhere near them, even if I could stomach being around that level of stupid or becoming good at lying. But you do have a point, that we need to take this on from the bottom up - local, city, county and state politics is what counts, from school boards to city councils on up.

DeSantis = RINO

I've probably asked for evidence of anything RD has DONE to prove he's a RINO dozens of times, but there's never any offered. He keeps accomplishing everything that Republicans and conservatives SAY they want in FL, but I guess y'all just don't want it badly enough yet.

Mr Sundance is their proof from conservative treehouse.

I still think Gov DeSantis was our best candidate but I will vote for DJT.

Who was funding his campaign? What about his stance on Ukraine?

Obviously he didn't have enough funding, if you think that people with deep pockets were funding him.

What about Trump's stance on Ukraine? He said he'd throw more money to them! And RD taking a a disagreeable stance on one issue doesn't prove he's a "RINO". Double standards much? Again, show me anything he's DONE to prove he's trying to please RINOs.

I get a kick out of folks who think DeSantis is a puppet for the establishment or a bitch-boy for Trump.

He was a lowly congressman, who was governor for only one year before he stood up against POTUS, the media, a terrified/cowardly public and the establishment on Covid. Pressure breaks pipes. He didn't crack...Trump did.

He's got some pretty big cojones for being a so called lightweight.

People blather on and on about what various people "really are". I keep watching DeSantis' actions and comparing what he says he believes to what he does as Governor. He's pretty amazingly consistent and he has done one great thing after another. If he's a RINO, he's a very odd one. Actions always speak louder than words, and DS's words match his actions better than any politician I know of. I sure wish he were the Governor of Commiefornia where I live!

i can commiserate. I moved from CA to FL in May of 20'....because I'm a freebird and couldn't bare the thought of my kids living through that nonsense
