    The economy is good, and people are flocking from poorly run states, like New York, to come here.

    He has done a fine job as governor of Florida....those " boots " you speak of, were worn when he personally toured the small rural areas of Florida.... Hardest hit by hurricanes.... Such as the very town I live in.

    Now let me remind you who Democrats wanted to be the governor of Florida instead..... That would have been Andrew Gillum, the former disgrced mayor of the state capitol which is Tallahassee, whose City Hall was under FBI investigation during the election.

    After losing the election, he would go on to be found naked in a motel room and passed out in a pool of his own vomit, with a male prostitute and methamphetamines also found in the same room..... I believe it was reported that a dildo was even found.


    THAT is who Democrats desired to have be the governor of the great state of Florida.

    What a disgusting and despicable human being and curse we could have had for governor.

    He's so terrible that they just won't stop moving their ass here.

    I hope that he makes them hate him so badly that no liberal progressive will even dream of relocating to Florida.

    He allowed people to run their businesses and succeed instead of crushing them with high taxes and regulations. The same goes for employees who don’t get hit with high with high state income taxes. There is no Florida income tax. I worked in New York in the late ‘70s. I paid NY state income taxes (higher than they were in New Jersey) and New York City wage taxes as student intern. The New York taxes are higher now, much higher in NYC.

    He has not let criminals run free with no bail laws. If you commit a crime here, you go to jail. You don’t get turned loose to commit another one.

    Oh wow! Like that is something new. Is he also responsible for the large influx of Russian oligarchs to FL too?

    Really? That seems a strange claim as he has tried to destroy Florida’s largest employer with taxes and regulations.

    Also, there is no record of Winston Churchill saying that.

    Ron seems to be a Neo-fascist, using the same stupid, hateful rhetoric that MAGA adores

    That turned out not the be true.

    What Disney?

    I thought you guys opposed corporate welfare. That’s what Disney was on, welfare. They had their own private county in Florida based on a deal made in 1967.

    As for “destroying Disney,” they are destroying themselves. Most parents don’t take kindly to fairy god mothers with a mustache. You think the guy could shave it off when he’s in drag.

    At any rate, Disney’s problems lie with stink-o films that bomb at the box office. I sold my Disney stock. The company needs a reset. It had been going down for months. It used to be “family friendly.” It’s not now, unless you are very woke.

    Actually, it turned out to be semi-true.... Does it count as running for President if you had no clue on how to take on the frontrunner and zero chance of winning??

    I think I let him slide on that one

    Who are “you guys”? You seem to assign nonsensical positions to me based on the failure of your own points.

    Trump will be a convicted felon long before November 2024.

    And I can even tell you that the trial over the secret documents he stole will be the most devastating.
