    We have a Maverick governor down here in FL, popular guy. I wish he would run for President of the USA. Here's an email I got from him. I support his stand. Naturally he also asked for donations but I ain't no fool. "A fool and his money are soon parted".
    ---
    "Joe Biden has the nerve to tell me to get out of the way on COVID while he lets COVID-infected migrants pour over our southern border by the hundreds of thousands. No elected official is doing more to enable the transmission of COVID in America than Joe Biden with his open borders policies.

    "And until Joe Biden gets the border secured and this crisis under control, I do not want to hear a blip about COVID from him or his administration.

    "In Florida, we will continue to lift people up, not lock people down. Florida is a free state, and we will empower our people. We will not allow Joe Biden and his bureaucratic flunkies to come in and commandeer the rights and freedoms of Floridians.

    "So, when Joe Biden tells me to get out the way, I’ve got news for him. I will ALWAYS stand between power-hungry tyrants and the people of Florida."

    Ron wants to be the next prez. He knows FL's skyrocketing COVID numbers coming in the wake of his idiotic policies is not a good look. So he decided to point people's attention away from his idiocy. Then, for good measure, he called Old Joe a tyrant. Next thing ya know he'll have his hair styled like a bird's nest and start wearing orange make-up.

    Why are Democtat-voting minorities not getting the vaccine in FL?

    You have some explaining to do.

    Ron has some explaining to do for doing things like blocking private cruise ship companies from requiring vaccinations.

    So, vaccinations don't work? You're not dealing with facts. Let me know when you want to proceed with logic and facts.

    DeSantos' popularity is waining here in Florida due mostly to his hard line political responce to the virus. He may be making the same mistake here that President Trump made last year.

    A new poll from St. Pete Polls finds the Governor’s approval rating has sagged considerably, with more Floridians now saying they do not approve of the job DeSantis is doing than those who say they approve.
    The poll, which was conducted Monday and Tuesday among 3,952 likely Florida voters
    https://floridapolitics.com/archive...antis-approval-rating-sags-as-covid-19-rages/

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' approval rating tumbled to 43.7 percent in a new poll published on Wednesday, as the state grapples with a surge in cases of COVID driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant.
    https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desant...s-covid-delta-variant-ravages-florida-1616533

    The poll, which was conducted Monday and Tuesday among 3,952 likely Florida voters through an automated phone polling system, also found DeSantis falling behind one Democratic rival for the 2022 gubernatorial election, trailing Democratic U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist. DeSantis has a slight lead on Democratic Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried in the poll.
    https://www.loscerritosnews.net/2021/08/05/poll-ron-desantis-approval-rating-sags-as-covid-19-rages/

    You also forget that DeSantos only became governor in the last election when he recived only 31,463 more votes than Andrew Gillum out of more than 8 million votes cast.

    Is it possible th will be the next president, perhaps, but he still has a way to go.

    Keep thinking that way. In fact, we'll all admit you're right solely for polling purposes. Keep thinking you're right.

    Keep mandating lockdowns and masks. See where that gets you.
    Keep lying about COVID statistics. See where that gets you.

    America isn't - yet - quite as dumb as liberals think it is, despite their attempts to make it so.

    I haven't lied about Covid statistics. Oh, all covid statistics coming out of Florida are required to pass through the Governors office. So I guess we need to believe those statistics. Florida has made it illegal for local government, schools, and some private businesses (cruse industry) to require masks, observe social distancing, or ask about vaccination status. No one except the state can oppose any penalty on people for any of the afore mentioned things. If this is about freedom it seems that freedom in Florida only applies to those who support the governor.

    I just pointed out some problems DeSantos is presently having in Florida and suggest they may hinder his asperations. No lies just facts, but instead of dealing with the issues you need to attack the messenger.

    Everyone has lied about COVID statistics because they're not reliable in general, lol. No matter who they pass through.

    I don't believe any COVID statistics.

    Joe has some explaining to do for doing things like allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the country without covid testing nor vaccinations.

    You know he's not denying anyone from getting Covid vaccine if they want it. He's just telling the government to stay out of people's lives.

    He shouid have followed NY and NJ. Fantastic death rate up there:). Or maybe he should have followed their economic shut downs and destroyed their economies? Or followed their attitude toward the police? By any measurement FL has similar and faired better than CA and NY without the economic destruction.

    Yeah that’s why he has swat teams kick in people’s door for telling the truth about his corruption. I might get mine kicked in just for typing this.

    And how is he a maverick? That’s someone who goes against their party isn’t it? Someone dissident amongst their own kind.

    Great Governor, one of the few leaders worldwide to reject authoritarianism and medical apartheid.

    I hope he runs for President, and wins.
