DeSantis is going to run the "woke" into the ground (he actually already has). Kind of like the F&F series- it was cool at the beginning (for attention, not me) but now it's just regurgitating the same old shyt over and over again with no end in sight. Then becoming more outlandish the more it needs to keep the money flowing in.

The contrast of Biden working on insulin and everyday items affecting people vs. him challenging AP courses and the media is going to the rudest wake-up call ever for him on a campaign trail. You know, when he actually has to talk about items of substance.

Exactly. Like come on. Homeboy DeSantis got tunnel vision cause of his FL success and once he says that bullshyt in NH, etc he gonna get that wake-up call.

No One With a Functioning Brain Sees the GOP as the ‘Party of Normal’

Republicans love to argue that they are the voice of real America and not the coastal elites whom they constantly deride. But, when you listen to these two speeches back-to-back, it’s Republicans who sound out-of-touch and consumed by their pet social issues. For all the GOP claims that Democrats are obsessed with wokeness, it's Republicans who spend far more time talking about them.

To take just one example, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis—a 2024 GOP primary frontrunner—has declared his state the place where “wokeness goes to die” and even named one of his signature pieces of legislation the “Stop W.O.K.E. Act.”

One of the results of that legislation is that Florida elementary schools are pulling literally hundreds of books off their library shelves. Kind of hard to square all that with Sanders defense of “freedom of speech” or her assertion that “Democrats want to rule us with more government control.” But put aside the hypocrisy for a second: does anyone think Americans care more about issues like this than accessible health care, good paying jobs or even Ticketmaster putting huge fees on concert tickets?

Sanders’ speech captures the Republican Party’s entire political problem in a nutshell—and it has nothing to do with Donald Trump. The GOP simply has no economic or cultural message that appeals to non-Republicans.

All its party members know how to do is preach to the converted. They have no policy agenda, it seems, other than divisive culture war issues or trying to own the libs. They have no economic agenda, no health care plans, and no ideas for easing the burdens on middle-class families.

That's not a partisan statement. It's a fact.

This is a party, after all, that in 2020 didn't bother to come up with a policy platform at the Republican National Convention. In 2022, their policy agenda was little more than platitudes. That lack of policy infrastructure has reduced the party to finger-to-the-wind politics—seizing on the issues of the day, be it drag shows or gas stoves, to excite their base.

DeSantis will run a campaign primatily driven by anti-wokeness both because it is compelling within the Republican primary and because his actual views on things like the economy and entitlements are extremely unpopular among the American public at large.

You can get the boy out the freedom caucus but... :troll:

Their constant never-ending need to find an enemy or find who caused their constituents lives to suck is nauseating

- woke mob
- left
- gays/etc
- immigrants
- minorities

Like fukk Jesus. Notice you never hear any of their people talk about what actually makes them happy in life it's always grievance it's always about what slights you and what score to settle.

sure; "florida is open for business" :mjgrin:

From what I can gather I think you're suggesting or your interpretation of us saying DeSantis isn't capable of winning or not to take him seriously it's that as he currently stands his substance is SEVERELY LACKING.

Yes that propelled Trump to the WH but Trump had several advantages

- a universally disliked opponent
- folks not taking him serious and catching people off-guard
- a social media juggernaut
- not a "product of the political machine"
- he's an entertainer and some folks just loved it.

There is very little evidence outside of Trump to suggest social issue flamethrowers go very far, and when they finally do get up to the big stage their lack of ability to talk about something else eventually comes to the surface.

- Scott Walker
- Bobby Jindal

Even Bush Jr. knew to read the room and his theme was "compassionate conservatism".

Over the course of a 12 to 18 month campaign at some point Ron is going to have to talk about something else in detail and of substance. He can't "woke" his way on a debate stage or campaign trail. He is going to have to sit down either in a group setting or one-on-one with a reporter who will ask him very tough questions on a network that is not favorable to him in depth deep questions to solve the country's issues and it won't involve AP courses, freedom, Fauci or LGBTQ.

Sending migrants on a plane to Martha's Vinyard from Texas is hardly a substantial policy for immigrants. Taking away Disney's self governance authority is not winning sound policy. It's a crock of shyt and you know it.

Plus there are numerous reports from even those close to him he's a total jackals. He gets softball questions in FL because it's his backyard. Once he gets out of his comfort zone, he's gonna show everyone what I already know he is.
