Now Ron DeSantis needs to be brought down!! Someone

[ArnoldLayne]

Out there must have some dirt on him, everyone does. But I want Serious, Perverted, Nasty, Dirt on DeSantis. Someone from his past that grew up with him has to have some good serious stuff on him. Preferably Dirt that is currently going on like today something, anything.

1. Yes, please...

That is all...

[SheilaAnn]

18. Read somewhere this a.m. that Charlie Crist is 13 points ahead of DeSantis. Sorry I have no link

but hope it's true.

[ultralite001]

20. Make it so, Number One...

That is all...

[FloridaBlues]

21. I haven't seen any polling like that . Crist up by 1 point latest poll.

Desantis is loved by the republicans here in Florida. We have our work cut out getting him out of office but it’s not impossible!

[Claustrum]

2. I honestly don't think DeSantis has as much a chance as people make him out to be.

TFG is viewed as more moderate because he would posit himself on the left on some issues and then right on some. And a lot of times, he played both sides. Because he had no real record, people believed his BS about his "moderate" views.

That's not how it works for DeSantis. He has many many horrible right wings bills from Florida we can point to and it will drives the moderates away. At least, this is how I (I think I am moderate) view him and there is not a chance I would vote for DeSantis, whereas I have thought about voting for some "moderate republicans" before (not TFG because he is a fake). And frankly, not ever again with this crazy cult republican party.

3. Agree..but for different reasons. Whether tfg is in jail, indicted or whatever he is going to weigh

In On deathsatan if he runs and it’s going to be really really ugly.

[Claustrum]

6. It will be a real test to whether this Trumpist cult craziness is all about him.

I think there will be sizable people who will not vote if it's not TFG on the ticket because they are a cult.

[PortTack]

22. +1000

[ArnoldLayne]

4. I'm still upset Andrew Cuomo let himself be compromised.

Is there any chance Andrew Cuomo could be rehabilitated by 2024? Even Gavin Newsom Governor from California I kind of like him from what I've read about him. Are there any Californian's out there that like him too what are your opinions of him? I livie in West Virginia how is he is he a decent guy just curious from anyone out there especially DU'ers from California?

[CentralMass]

7. I'll confess that I never cared for Cuomo (his bullying style of government.)t)

[Bucky]

12. I still like Cory Booker. I know he didn't go the distance in 2019, but he has a heroic quality.

I like Chris Murphy, too. I assume people will probably want an outsider again, however. Gretchen Whitmer seems appealing.

But not too much of an outsider. I hate it how someone like Howard Stern thinks a pampered celebrity, surrounded by an entourage of ass-kissers, thinks they're so brilliant that only they can save democracy.

Pleasing a crowd isn't leadership. It's entertainment.

[FM123]

5. The very insecure and jealous ex prez will start

tearing him from limb to limb as soon as he realizes his trumpy cult followers find him a palatable alternative. He is spitting bricks right now as he sees his donors throwing money at DeSantis as we speak....

[rogue emissary]

8. What about register more voters and get them to vote for charlie crist.

Not against some good muckraking, but I'd focus on the actionable.

[jaxexpat]

11. Crist is not endurable.

Placing one's hope in him is long-term misplaced.

[Bucky]

9. His Florida record is atrocious: covid, education, bullying...

But the only way to deal with a threat to democracy is to vote them down. There's no authority who's going to come along and rescue us from bad governance. We have to be our own knight in shining armor.

[ArnoldLayne]

14. I realize you are probably a left leaning Democrat but

is DeSantis that loved by Republicans and I dependents? Is there any chance from a Floridian's point of view of many moderate or Conservative Democrats crossing over to vote for Ron DeSantis,?

[ArnoldLayne]

16. I realize you are probably a left leaning Democrat but

is DeSantis that loved by Republicans and I dependents? Is there any chance from a Florida's point if view of many moderate or Conservative Democrats crossing over to vote for Ron DeSantis,?

[AkFemDem]

10. I would rather focus on Trump

And what happened on January 6. I don’t want to water it down with a bunch of outrage and scandal directed elsewhere. However repugnant DeSantis may be, he didn’t try to incite a coup in the most brazen act of treachery and treason in American history- and I don’t want to defuse that sentiment with an “if everyone is dirty, no one is dirty” psy-ops by his team.

Desantis will be fought on a more traditional political battlefield. But the goal shouldn’t be to match the shock of what’s happening todays- because the revelations today deserve to stand alone in American history forever marring Trumps name.

[ArnoldLayne]

13. Who would be the most beatable out of the two

Trump or DeSantis?

[dameatball]

15. Trump would be, as of now. Nov 2024 is a long ways off though. As for me, I just say "fight the

enemy in front of you."

[blm]

17. He was buddies with Gaetz and his underage girl procurer

who is still alleged to be cooperating with law enforcement.

[Rstrstx]

19. Trump can bring him down

He’ll probably try to bring down anyone who’s not a Trump - and I’m starting to have my doubts he’d support Ivanka.
