    This is a smart strategy from DeSantis. No better way to undermine another GOP contender than show that they support the gays. Candidates vying for the GOP nomination have every incentive to go into full gay hater mode. Fortunately for DeSantis, he's been there from the start.

    Says YOU. I don't think it will be appealing to many of them. To some, sure but I think this just alienates his chances of any LBGT support, even the ones against groomers.

    They showed a clip from this video on Morning Joe today.... If that's the way Ron DEE Santis's mind works, it's seemingly a black hole of despair

    When people as diverse as Rick Grenelll (RW tool) and Mayor Pete call out a video your campaign reposted, you are in a very strange place

    It has already been referenced with a link, but I wanted to highlight Mayor Pete's words:

    “I’m going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up, shirtless bodybuilders,” he added. “And just get to the bigger issue that is on my mind whenever I see this stuff in the policy space, which is, again: Who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off? And what public policy problems do you get up in the morning thinking about how to solve?”

    He asks a great question. This ad doesn't show what DeSantis wants to do for the American people - it only serves to show how hateful he is. And I know that will have an audience, but I think he's miscalculated if he thinks his hateful rhetoric will resonate nationally.

    I think it's perfectly clear what the ad shows DeSantis is interested in.... Hint above....I just hope his beard wife doesn't find out....

    Absolutely! This shows exactly how DeSantis feels about the rights of others-- if you are not part of one of the demographic groups, targeted for their support. Here's the little, boot-wearing dictator, arrayed in all his uncaring ugliness.

    Not sure what rights the gay groups think they are currently lacking, never really seems to get defined.
