Friends and family I have who live in Florida tell me he is thin-skinned. They believe he will not hold up under the scrutiny a national campaign will bring.

I heard a pundit (Charles Hurt who I give a bit of cred to) say that DeSantis will likely become extreme on abortion and go even further to the right than Trump and essentially kill any chances of him winning should he be the nom in the general.  Abortion as an issue hurt the repubs in 2022, especially with Graham's remarks on the subject.  It will likely do the same in 2024.

I'll take that bet.

DeSantis is going to run on his record in Florida, which he calls “the place woke goes to die.”

Hmmm . . .

A state that recently passed a ban on abortions after 6 weeks at his urging

A man who is going mano-a-mano with Mickey Mouse, resulting today in Disney pulling the plug on a billion dollar project in central Florida that would have created 2000 jobs.

And so much more . . . But he owns the Libs!

I will stand with Goofy and oppose goofy.

My prediction: he will implode on the national campaign trail.

Well, to the extent that the Biden presidency is lacking in some respects, all the more reason for 'reasonable people' to wish for a decent, solid Republican candidate to take over the reigns of the party. 

It is called 'democracy' kurtster.  Works the same in British parliamentary systems.  Lots of us care how the overall system works.   We know that quality opposition and quality alternatives are vital for the system to thrive.

That feels about the same as accepting what he did as literally beyond reproach. 
I think we’re all waiting for someone “good” to take the reins of the GOP. But, it’s politics, so there’s that.

I think most of the GOP wanted to wash their hands of him as soon as the revelations came out, but they refrained from making any statements about it.

Now watch all of the Republicans jump on the "he doesn't belong here" bandwagon.  

Kevin was all in for the "guilty until proven innocent" when he needed to get elected...now he's gonna condemn dishonesty (while he takes orders from Gates, MTG, and the other Q supporters).

My reaction is probably rude, though.

Isabella Riley Moody, Ambassador for the Log Cabin Republicans, Says The Log Cabin Republicans Make Her ‘Want to Vomit’

The choice of Moody to serve as an ambassador for a gay conservative organization was rather unconventional, given that Moody is a virulent homophobe who brags that the word “f*ggot” is part of her “everyday vocabulary” and wishes that the country was a more “homophobic society.”

While Moody openly proclaims herself to be a “homophobic bitch,” she also claims that she is “not really homophobic” and that all of her bigoted language and attacks on anything she deems “gay” are nothing but a “troll.”

The disconnect between Moody’s various stated positions was on full display when she appeared on “The Stew Peters Show” Tuesday night to try to explain how an avowedly anti-LGBTQ conservative Christian such as herself can serve as an ambassador for an organization that supposedly represents “LGBT conservatives and straight allies who support fairness, freedom, and equality.”

Moody’s efforts to explain this incongruence did not go well, as she eventually declared that the agenda promoted by Log Cabin Republicans “grosses me out and makes me want to vomit” and that her agreement to serve as an ambassador for the organization was nothing more than an attempt to “troll the left.”

Principled too...
