The Ron DeSantis Thread
« on: January 27, 2022, 12:39:34 pm »
I figured I'd start a thread related to Ron DeSantis, since his political stock has risen so significantly in the last couple of years.  He might be an automatic lock for the Republican nomination, and probably beats any Democrat soundly.

The numbers show Ron DeSantis' stock is rising

A somnambulant Donald Trump will absolutely run roughshod on the field of halfwits the GOP pukes up in 2024.

Every Republican is like a kids' TV host showing cartoons... there's no reality there

I'm not going to talk about the Democrats who are like the Bizarroworld version of the Canadian Liberals - failing and losing at every turn ...

But Republicans are involved in pure politics only...

Ron DeathSantis may be getting attention, but I wouldn't write him in as a viable candidate just yet...

In general, moderate politicians have an advantage over candidate seen as "extreme". (Its not an "always win" situation, but statistically a candidate closer to the center does better). Deathsantis may be a "darling" of the GOP, but his tenure in Florida has shown him to be a far right wing-nut, perhaps able to win the republican primary, but one whom many middle-of-the-road voters will see as too polarizing.

Oh, and I'll just put this out there:

From: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/591590-biden-leading-trump-desantis-by-similar-margins-in-new-poll
...Biden is leading former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in two hypothetical, head-to-head match-ups for the 2024 presidential election...

Remember, he's the republican who won the Florida gov. election by less than 40,000 votes. I think more republicans than democrats have died (because "Mah Freedum!!!") since then. And dead people don't vote.

Nobody is trying to out Trump Trump, whatever that means.  DeSantis is popular because he’s done a great job as governor.  However, Branch Covidians won’t like him, because he acknowledges fundamental rights, and limits to the government’s authority over people’s bodies.  Concepts that are completely foreign to people like you.

That’s all been debunked, especially the so-called college surveys.  You’re a fool for believing this crap!  Also, voting is Florida is much less restrictive than in states like Delaware, New Jersey, New York etc.  But you idiots don’t care.  You idiots think they needing some kind of identification to vote is restrictive.  It’s not.  And the vast majority agree in polls that have been taken.  The 15 weeks bill is based on science.  Follow the science, doesn’t mean pick and choose.  My body my choice, except for chemicals injected into your body, then you have no say huh?  You’re all hypocrites.

LOL you know that if supporting abortion rights on the basis of bodily autonomy while being in favour of vaccine mandates makes me a hypocrite, supporting abortion restrictions and opposing vaccine mandates on the basis of bodily autonomy make you a hypocrite too, right? Idiot.

You post so much misinformation that it's difficult to have the time to debunk it all.

But even once the GOP-passed measure takes effect, Georgia citizens will still have far more opportunities to vote before Election Day than their counterparts in the president’s home state

...

Delaware isn’t an anomaly among Democratic strongholds, and its example presents the president’s party with an uncomfortable reminder: Although Democrats like to call out Republicans for trying to suppress voting, the states they control in the Northeast make casting a ballot more difficult than anywhere else.

Stop posting misinformation.  Florida's voting rules are far less restrictive than most blue states.  But it gives Democrats and their supporters a chance to yell racism over and over.  You're just parroting the same tired false talking points.  Congratulations.

From the link:

Quote
In Congress, Democrats are prioritizing legislation called the For the People Act, or H.R. 1, which seeks to curb GOP efforts to suppress voting. The bill would set national standards to loosen photo-ID requirements, guarantee early-voting and voting-by-mail options, and mandate automatic and same-day registration. Although Democrats have focused on how the bill would rein in red states, H.R. 1 would hit some blue states just as hard, if not harder.

Republicans love to call out Democratic sanctimony in the debate over voting laws, but this ignores the divergent directions the two parties are headed. Following their 2020 defeat and under pressure from Donald Trump allies, Republicans are pushing to restrict voting in states such as Texas, Iowa, Arizona, and Florida, which have recently been competitive. The Georgia law tightens ID requirements for absentee ballots and caps the number of drop boxes where they can be deposited. The measure also limits who can distribute water to voters waiting in line outside polling places. The effect of the bill is likely to make voting easier in Republican strongholds—by expanding early voting in rural areas, for example—but harder in Democratic urban centers, where lines at polling places tend to be longer and where voting by mail was more popular last year.

Democrats in charge of blue states are now racing to expand access in a way that matches the party’s rhetoric nationwide.
In some cases, they’re trying to make permanent the temporary changes to voting laws that were put in place because of the pandemic. Delaware, for example, removed the mandate that voters cite a reason for casting an absentee ballot. Making the reform permanent requires the passage of an amendment to the state constitution, and Republicans who supported that proposal in the past are balking now, threatening its adoption.

Another self-inflicted Shady L, you simply love to see it.

DeSantis gettin' s**t done!  He's building a significant resume.  Future POTUS?


DeSantis Signs Bill Allocating $70 Million to Support Involved Fatherhood in Florida

HB 7065, dubbed the “Responsible Fatherhood” bill, aims to encourage fathers to take an active role in their children’s lives and provides grants to community-based membership programming.

It will help fund resources for educational and mentorship programs to assist children, fathers, and families in Florida through the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Saying Disney is a company of paedophile groomers will kill his political career. Only far-right wackos will ever take him seriously now (case in point).

Luckily he's never said that.
