DeSantis "Blueprint For Florida" Video Looks a Lot Like a Presidential Campaign Video
Obviously it's a teaser trailer for a presidential run. It's below the fold.
He emphasizes keeping Florida open during the pandemic insanity. I know Trump keeps trying to turn DeSantis' greatest triumph into a weakness by calling him "Shutdown Ron," because DeSantis shut down the beaches for, I think, two weeks, but he shut down those beaches two weeks after Trump recommended general nationwide shutdowns, and a week (I think) after he rebuked Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for re-opening some bars and restaurants and entertainment venues. "I just think it's too soon," Trump said, adding to the media/leftwing chorus of scolding of the governor for risking people's lives. I've said this before: I completely sympathize with Trump's tough position here -- this was an nearly-unprecedented situation and the entire media and government was screaming at Trump to DO SOMETHING! -- but I will not abide him then turning around and claiming that "Shutdown Ron" should have shown the perfectly-sculpted Balls of Titanium that Trump himself didn't come close to showing, as far as defying the Fauci-Birx-Wallenski Axis of Evil and telling them to pound (beach) sand. Everyone was screaming at DeSantis to DO SOMETHING! too, you know -- including Trump himself. Yes, Trump tweeted a mean Twitter about reopening, but DeSantis issued executive orders to reopen. Point DeSantis. In fairness, I think Trump's idea was to rouse public opinion in favor of reopening so he could then issue his own executive orders. But... he didn't ultimately do that. DeSantis did. He reopened Florida, and he didn't bother with too much Twitter Hamlet monologuing before doing it. In more DeSantis news, he spoke with Mark Levin about proposed changes to Schedule F of the civil service rules, which would allow presidents to fire #Resistance employees in the civil service. Obviously, he's in favor of it. (Also obviously, it will never happen, alas. Even if we get a filibuster-proof Senate, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney, Tom Tilis, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins and the rest of the Gang of F8cks would vote against it, in the interests of "comity" and "collegiality." "We need a house cleaning" in the civil service, DeSantis says -- first, we need a house cleaning in the Senate.) He revealed in his new book that former Disney CEO Bob Chapek complained that the wokeys at Disney pressured him into speaking out against the Parental Rights in Education bill. Which is what we all already thought."As the controversy over the Parental Rights in Education bill was coming to a head, Chapek called me. He did not want Disney to get involved, but he was getting a lot of pressure to weigh in against the bill," DeSantis writes. "We get pressured all the time," Chapek told DeSantis, according to the governor's book. "But this time is different. I haven't seen anything like this before." Chapek told shareholders that he had called DeSantis on March 9 to urge him not to sign the bill, which restricts schools from teaching gender and sexuality to children in kindergarten through third grade. Activists nicknamed it the "Don't say gay bill" despite the legislation not using those terms.Shareholders? Like from the ultrawoke BlackRock?
... According to a report from the New York Post, Chapek had privately expressed his hesitancy to involve his company in the political issues in Florida, the home of Disney World, in the months prior. But the pressure campaign within Disney and from Democrats nationwide ultimately convinced him take a stand. DeSantis, however, issued a warning: If Disney got involved with the legislation, "People like me will say, 'Gee, how come Disney has never said anything about China, where they make a fortune?'" DeSantis told Chapek. The Florida governor said if Disney stayed out of the politics, Disney would face 48 hours of outrage when the bill passed. "[And] when I sign it, you will get another 48 hours of outrage, mostly online,'" DeSantis said, adding, "Then there will be some new outrage that the woke mob will focus on and people will forget about this issue, especially considering the outrage is directed at a political-media narrative, not the actual text of the legislation itself." DeSantis wrote that Chapek and Disney "ultimately caved to leftist media and activist pressure and pressed the false narrative against the bill."When Chapek escalated by fighting the law in court -- I forgot they did that, or I didn't even know they did that -- he warned that he might escalate by stripping Disney of its special tax/governance rights over the land it owns. Which is a threat he followed through on today. Today he signed into law the measure to strip Disney of its special district tax rights and make sure Disney can't saddle taxpayers with its debts. To be honest I'm not sure how all of this works. The media covers it very superficially and I don't think I'm interested enough to do a deeper diver into tax and local rule law. His book's title -- The Courage to be Free -- is obviously super-anodyne but he's hitting two of the big traditional conservative presidential buttons. Again, it's clearly a presidential race entry/introduction book. Via David Strom at Hot Air, the media is sure acting like they're worried that DeSantis may be a threat, because they're treating him as almost as bad as, if not worse than, Trump. No one in the media is saying DeSantis is worse than Trump. No, of course not, because Trump may still be the nominee, and some would say, still is likely to be the nominee. However, they're now treating him as if he's just as bad as Trump, and setting him up for the inevitable worse than Trump if he does become the nominee. If you say, "That's silly, how could they ever say anyone is worse than Trump, after literally not metaphorically demonizing him for six years ?" Well I'd remind you that they've done this with every new Republican candidate since Nixon. But specifically, with DeSantis, they'll do it like this: "At least Trump showed that he basically liked gay people, being brave enough to be the first GOP candidate for president to endorse gay marriage! This monster DeSantis wants to literally erase gay people and literally commit genocide against trans people!!!" And they'll say: "At least Trump followed most of the advice of his covid advisers, even if he undermined them occasionally in his public statements! This monster DeSantis turned Florida into an open-air Petri dish for pathogens! He let people go out on to the beaches and stand yards from each other in the sunlight and wind where the chances of spreading anything to each other approached one in one hundred million, if not higher!!!!" Believe me, the media will find nice things to (insincerely) say about Trump. They found nice things to (insincerely) say about Reagan, Bush, McCain, and Romney. (As Bush, McCain, and Romney joined the Democrat Party, their praise became sincere, but before that, they found insincere ways to compliment them pre-transition.) Right now, the Huffington Post is saying that a man who stuck a screwdriver through the neck of a woman he didn't even know is a kinder, gentler, more decent human being than Ron DeSantis, so, given time, they could even say the same thing about the Orange Debbil Who Grabbies Duh Pusses. Oh, in addition to sticking a screwdriver through a woman's neck, he also murdered a deputy sheriff when he escaped from prison. HuffPo gives central prominence to this scumbag's execution-chamber denunciation of DeSantis as "worse" than him, implicitly blessing him as being right:
David Strom comments:
"I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up," Dillbeck reportedly said just before his death. "But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He's taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women and children. He's put his foot on our necks. Ron DeSantis and other people like him can s--k our d--s."
Florida's law, I guess, requires conviction by a unanimous jury, same as usual, but only a 2/3rds jury majority to impose the sentence of death. There's nothing in the Constitution that requires unanimity on sentence votes. (In fact, the Supreme Court has blessed even convictions on 11-1 votes, without specifying how non-unanimous a criminal jury can be before the Constitution would say it's no longer capable of rendering a conviction.) But anyway, DeSantis is worse than the murderer. He wants to "literally genocide" trans kids.
Well, I guess it's settled. DeSantis is a really bad guy if Dillbeck says so. HuffPo's proof of DeSantis' bad character is this: he signed Dillbeck's death warrant despite the fact that the man was sentenced to death by a jury that did not unanimously impose it. Some wanted a life in prison, while the majority voted for the death penalty. The law allowing this had been changed since, but DeSantis thinks that a 2/3rds majority of jurors should be enough. Dillbeck, it seems, had only made some small mistakes in his youth (he was in his mid-20s when he killed Vann), but DeSantis is the real murderer for allowing his sentence to be carried out and believing it was just.
Gov. @RonDeSantisFL just dropped this EPIC video contrasting DC's insanity with his success making Florida thrive.

Let's be fair here: the feds shut down no businesses.
There was nothing at the fed level to do to undo it. It was all states and localities.
Now, if Trump had fired Fauci in the middle of the fawning for St. Fauci, that'd have been some good positive action that could have made a difference.

Let Trump go down in flames with the presidential nomination. Desantis would be wasted there because there is no path to 270. The GOP candidate won't be allowed to win. They'll "count" for weeks before that happens.

I will say I lean Trump as the national shame of letting a presidential election be stolen so blatantly ought to be rectified.
HOWEVER, if Desantis proves to be a better option, then he will earn my vote.
I'd love it if Trump could make Desantis his VP (Trump would have to claim a different state of residence) and hand over the reigns after 2 years, that would be my most preferred situation.
I know it won't happen, but hey, a man can dream about the chance to prevent the collapse of the greatest country the world has ever seen.

Oregon used to allow 10-2 votes for misdemeanors and minor felonies to convict.
This was due to racism, of course - it was just amazing how racist a 2% black state could be, historically. (The fact that Oregon is only a 2% black state is also due to racism, of course.)
So, the legislature mandated unanimous juries going forward, but the governor is going farther than that - she is also releasing from prison anyone convicted by a non-unanimous jury.
Of course, these people had a 10-2 vote against them, which likely would have been unanimous given a bit more jury deliberation, but there was no need for the jury to do so - 10-2, and the jury's job was done.
Free pass.

The tl;dr of the loophole that was hoped to be employed is to reclassify a bunch of employees from an unfireable category to a fireable one. In principle it's an abuse of the rules, a loophole after all. I'm not sure what that would've meant for its chances in court one way or the other.

Okay now I'm breaking my vow to stay out of it but whatever.
And the main thing everyone is pointing to right now is that Soros said he liked DeSantis and hoped he was the nominee or something.
Show of hands, who thinks Soros was being 100% honest there? Who thinks that he thinks his endorsement will sway conservative voters in that direction?
No, he doesn't think that; he was deliberately trying to stir discord in our ranks by tainting a Trump-like candidate, and way too many people are falling for it.

I still say the smart play for the uniparty would be to get an R in who will not do much (or move the ball their way mildly.) That causes the rubes to think Trump really was full of shit and papers over 2020. Everything is fine. It would be the smart play.

It's worse than that. The clip is edited. See David Strom at hot air. Soros said he hopes DeSantis wins so that trump runs third party to divide the coservative vote to give the Democrats an easy win over a divided republican field.
These trump supporters out there on the internet are pumping out stupid sociopathic lie after stupid sociopathic lie and I'm getting sick of it.

As an executive both of them can point to a lot of wins. I think any campaign between the two will naturally be intellectually unsatisfying as their cases against each other aren't particularly strong(on the positive it means our views are consensus views). So it'll be less about the issues and more about who can effectively appeal to voters, which at least addresses who is the strongest candidate.
Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at February 27, 2023 03:19 PM (eYoxG)

I think some people like that he talks outrageously. but talking outrageously while alienating 60% of the population results in us... losing, and not actually changing anything. Whether you like it or not, someone who tones down the message to get 51% to buy into the message and actually get the SUBSTANCE passed is better than someone who talks outrageously on twitter and doesn't get it done.
Trump is the latter. Yes, his Twitter is ON FIRE. But what can he get done? He's only talking to the same 40% of the country he's always talking to! He's turned off the rest. And just talking louder and more pungently doesn't bring them over.

The Florida Fallacy is that Ron De Santis' changes will hold in this state. That's not likely. For now, they're just a parade float to show off in some twisted spectacle on the national scene. Which means that Ron De Santis has no long game in Florida. We're just a venue for a campaign ad for his run for president.
Well, the majority of Florida voters endorsed his fascism just this part November. So it’s a pretty depressing situation. I don’t have any faith in Floridians’ ability to course correct. My sympathies to the blue voters of that state.
I don't really agree. Radical republicans have controlled with supermajorities In the legislature for almost a generation now. Desantis is the ongoing metastasis. As long as the gerrymandering and systematic voter suppression continue, the disease will continue.

I don't think you're seeing people who realize the election is hopeless arguing for one candidate over the other, just against nonsense and lame cracks against one candidate or the other.
If someone says DeSantis is inexperienced, I'll point out that's nonsense because he has way more experience than Trump did. If someone says Trump is driving away voters, I'll say that's nonsense because he won last time with these tactics.

To think that DeSantis has alienated the media and the "respectable" part of the GOP to imitate Trump and court his base and identify as MAGA just so he can run for president as a maga candidate and THEN, once he gets elected, go "Surprise, bitches! I'm a conventional Yankee Bushie liberal Republican that the media all love having on their Sunday chat shows!" is... i mean, why would he do that? Why would he pose as the thing that gets him grief?

Well we'll have to see how it goes. Relying on DeSantis to have the same kind of built in wide voting base like Trump, is in the end what you *hope*.
But he will be painted very expertly as Johnny Republican, a self dealing corrupt liar who hates black people, gays, immigrants and women and will take your social security .
Can he rise above that fray and expand the "base" in spite of that, as Trump absolutely did?
I don't know, and you don't either. DeSantis has that unfortunate "look" of the pre-Trump Republican, the kind who loses badly but with dignity. I am not talking about what he is - I'm talking about what the country who has no fucking idea about anything will be told and see.

I'll support any candidate who wins the nomination and frankly I believe a primary would be healthy for the party. But people hunger for substance as a substitute for selfdom. Unless Trump gets off that train, he won't win.

I'm not sure that is logical. I mean, a person could certainly believe voting is futile, but chose not to support another RINO candidate. Somebody who is going to play nice and lose nice and choose to support somebody who is a giant ball kicking a hole. At least we get some spectacle to enjoy on the way down.

The obvious possibilitywould be to court Trump voters and in the end wreck Trump.
I mean you will call that paranoid or whatever, which will be unfair. How many very large operations and conspiracies THAT WE KNOW OF were run to "get Trump". If it's one or more, then that's not a paranoid possibility. A LOT of people believed in Nikki Haley and Pence because they knew what Trump-type noises to make for a time.
That said, a bigger concern is can DeSantis even win in the first place. Trump made what he did to Hillary look *easy*. People seem to think therefore someone else can come along and do the same.

Simply being a candidate is not enough. One could argue he will have to resign at receiving the official nomination at the convention. But the far stronger argument is that he is only qualified after the electors meet.
There is no prohibition in FL law saying that the governor has to resign to run for POTUS, thats all just fever swamp reporting.

I would like someone pushing this very popular platform who doesn't step on his own dick every five minutes to see how it plays.

There's no magical suit of armor that gets anyone passed that -- except for one. Already being a known brand. It is what it is. Some people like Ford's and some people like chevy's he's like. But every election -- assuming no cheating -- is decided by independents. And those people appreciate low inflation and good economy, especially coming off this shit show. If destefantis can excite those people, that might a be a thing then. Trumps got huge vax problems which is a problem. We're probably going to lose either way. For multiple reasons.

Trump did a shit ton of good. But he showed his people management was shit.
...
yes, I mean, the GOP surrounded him to control him. He came in with almost zero allies. I've told a story before of where a REAL ally tried to get in, a guy who actually wrote The Conservative Case For Trump, and when I say he wrote The Conservative Case For Trump, I mean that literally not metaphorically:
https://tinyurl.com/muuahfsb
Brett Decker actually had prior State Department experience and literally wrote The Conservative Case for Trump with Phyllis Schafly so he's one of the few establishment/intellectual supporters of trump so when he tries to come in with a job in the WH or State (I forget which), you know what happens?

The people at those places know he's actually a Trumpie and KEEP HIM OUT. They keep giving him the run-around, cancelling his interviews, delaying them. Trump said to give him an interview, but they play games as far as the timing, and ultimately, THEY FILL UP ALL THE IMPORTANT JOBS BEFORE THEY GET AROUND TO SCHEDULING HIM
And this is going on all over the Trump government, the f***ing bad guys have filled all the top positions in the transition so they're the ones who are handing out the key positions to their friends who are themselves bad guys. One guy I know told someone in the WH "I should be a good fit, I supported Trump big-time during the campaign," and he was told, "Oh, that's going to COUNT AGAINST YOU."

It's a good definition in transactional and consequently effective political parties, like the Democrats.
Granted we'd not have had Trump as a candidate either if the GOP was run that way. Democrats require all kinds of favor trading and earning your way up to become a candidate for them, unlike the GOP where random people can quite frequently run and win. This is part of why they're able to consistently able to get their people to vote and act in unison though.

To be fair, Kentucky can be weird, but I also wonder if you believe the old GOPe saw of 'electability' a bit too much. The trap with that is when and if the media turn their full guns on DeSantis, will he all of a sudden become 'unelectable' and then a bright new shiny pony will have to be found?
I think right now, the media AND the GOPe want a blood out dog fight. I think there are more avenues of attack on DeSantis that they are holding their powder on.

DeSantis does not attack or criticize Donald Trump publicly. However, he has surrogates that do that. Trump knows the game.
But Donald looks small in attacking Ron DeSantis. He should just lay off of him.
Attack Biden and his Junta. They are all bad people. There are no exceptions.
Tell Donald to attack Biden continuously and furiously.
Donald went to East Palestine, Ohio last week, and was warmly welcomed. It spurred Butt-boy DoT Secretary to show up, who would talk to no one publicly and answer no questions.
That's what Donald should be focused on. Ridiculing and showing up the Biden Junta whenever he can.

DeSantis does not attack or criticize Donald Trump publicly. However, he has surrogates that do that. Trump knows the game.
But Donald looks small in attacking Ron DeSantis.
This aspect of Trump's behavior really concerns me. (yeah, yeah, my concern is noted)
It's Politics 101 that you don't do what he's doing. He does look small, and worse, out of touch, and possibly losing his grip. It's not a good look, and it certainly won't persuade those who are inclined against him to reconsider.

I tend to agree with this, although I also think that time and noise can make it true. For example, many people here who damned well know better are now mouthing many of the same imbecilic talking points of Michael Moore and the Dixie Chicks about the Iraq War. What happened? The lie was shouted often and loud enough that people sort of gave in.
And I think to a certain extend that's true about Trump; the shouting was easy to ignore and laugh at in 2020, but by now I think its sunk in with a lot of voters who ought to know better.

I liked Kathy Barnette. I sent her money, even though I don't live or vote in Pennsylvania. But as the campaign wore on and she went out with Doug Mastriano, they both sometimes came across as a little nuts.
Oz was closer to Fetterman than Mastriano was to Shapiro in the final voting; which likely didn't really matter because the outcome was likely rigged and corrupt.

I dunno, but if you're right, and everything is "rigged" to make Trump the loser, then it really doesn't matter who the candidate is so why are you so invested?
If there's a chance -- just a chance -- that maybe Trump is a flawed candidate and is causing, say, his vote totals to fall beneath those of other Republicans running on the same ticket, or of Trump-backed candidates to run behind non-Trump candidates, then a non-Trump candidate COULD win a presidential race.
Or we just keep saying "rigged" to every race we lose.

Some of us aren't super invested. But there's a pretty good argument to be made that we're better off with Trump as a losing candidate than DeSantis.
The governorship of Florida for one, less potential alienation of voters Trump brought into the coalition for a second. A plausible case may also be made that we're more certain that Trump will press the issue of voting fraud in the aftermath of a defeat.

In the aftermath of defeat, not victory. Trump very clearly makes an issue of 2020 fraud in a very public fashion.
DeSantis supporters have been eager to assure us that DeSantis would never be so unseemly.
Hence the plausible case that Trump would make more of an issue of it.

Ballotpedia: Executive Order 13957: Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service was a presidential executive order issued by President Donald Trump (R) on October 21, 2020, that directed agencies to reclassify federal civil service employees in the competitive service who serve in policy-related roles as members of the excepted service.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reviewed the implementation of E.O. 13957 and shared its findings in a report on September 28, 2022. The report noted that no federal agencies had implemented Schedule F by the time the executive order was revoked by President Joe Biden (D) on January 22, 2021.

Well, the guy, at some personal expense (no salary -and plenty of legal fees and grief personally and family) and considerable grief which will probably follow him and his family to his grave, tried to help us. And for a couple of years did it. Didn't break his word, maybe couldn't keep it on every single promise, but tried. So, i respect the sacrifice. And the service to the Country. I credit that experience and the ongoing willingness to fight to him. Like I would to a veteran. Its not automatic and it can be revoked. YMMV

Look, Trump being "fixated" on 2020 and complaining about it too much has been put forth by certain regular commenters as a reason to prefer DeSantis
We know exactly how Trump would respond to a 2024 defeat since we saw 2020. I quite liked that he didn't let the issue drop.
At best DeSantis may act similarly (not a sure thing unlike Trump), in which case his supporters are wrong about this. But certainly there is a case to be made that he would not.

Tell Dave Reaboi they need better talking points than “Trump totally lost guys, don’t believe your lying eyes.”

His people were problematic because as an actual outsider he didn't have a government waiting in the wings to take over. He got a staff full of acquaintances and suggestions from "allies", and although some of them were intelligent more than a few of them also clearly refused to be subordinate to Trump.
The media also played up any discord or staffing changes with wall to wall coverage to try and extract a political cost any time he replaced anyone in the hopes of prolonging the problems for as long as possible. McConnell also encouraged this strife by slow walking executive appointments, threatening to not confirm replacements, and refusing to formally recess to prevent ever filling vacancies without a vote. His appointments were much more solid the last couple years of his administration.
I feel like holding the early staffing problems against Trump is a very dangerous line to take because you're effectively locking in to only supporting professional career politicians if you insist on smooth transitions, and rewarding resistance! bureaucrat BS.

Do you think either was elected, in the sense that we used to use that term?

First we need a house cleaning in the electorate.

DeSantis, like all other Republicans before him, is going to get his ass kicked by the evil Orange Man. And even if he doesn’t, he is alienating the evil Orange Man’s stupid (inbred even) supporters, who will never forgive DeSantis for going up against America’s Hitler.
I have no clue what the hell DeSantis is thinking that he has to move now to achieve his Presidential ambitions.
Well, at least he has some of the Murdoch family; and of course Jeb Bush, John Cardillo, Blue State CBD, and Deuce of Clubs in his corner.
But, in short, unless the evil Orange Man is taken out by the Deep State (jailed or terminated with extreme prejudice), DeSantis is being played for a fool.

Or, are you saying DeSantis can win because elections are fair and Biden totally won?

Electing Desantis doesn't right any of those wrongs, nor will it undo the irreparable damage done to the United States, because of the 2020 theft.
And you mention Brian Kemp who can GO FUCK HIMSELF! That man is a putrid bit of human excrement. I hope he gets what he deserves one day.
As for the rest of the Republicans, just go away and let us watch your party die. You had your chance to fight for LAW and JUSTICE and you chose political expediency and donors over the real voters of America.

Trump just released his Agenda 47 outlining his economic strategy for the future. Where is Ron's? Oh wait, is he running? Ask Jeb!.
