Trump fans tout DeSantis as their COVID hero and possible 2024 nominee.

[Generic Other]

But Florida's data tells a different story.

At some point in the not-too-distant future, America’s governors will be judged at the ballot box for their response to a pandemic that the Trump administration forced them to handle mostly on their own. In some cases, that judgment will be rendered in 2022, when they stand for reelection. Others will try to tout their COVID-19 résumés in an upcoming presidential contest.

According to a new Politico profile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is already positioning himself as one of these post-pandemic White House hopefuls. The gist of the story is that while DeSantis, just 42 years old and still in his first term, formerly “drew national scorn for his stewardship of Florida’s Covid-19 response,” his “resistance to restrictive measures” like mask mandates and the blowback he got for being “divorced from science” has now “strengthened” his standing “among the GOP grassroots and elites heading into his 2022 reelection” — and even inspired “conservative chatter nationwide about a presidential bid.”

5. When the studies are conducted in the next decade

I think the two major finding we're likely to see is

1) Florida under counted Covid deaths.

2) The states that refused to promote safety measures and conducted business as usual, helped keep the virus count higher in the remaining states because people move freely around.


Personally I'd love Biden to run for reelection against someone so easy to tie to Trump. Trump is election poison for the GOP outside the "death belt" and election stimulus to any blue district. We hate Trump and anything to do with them.

7. He is up for re-election in '22

So if he loses, there is no hope for '24.

He is being like "the name never to be spoken." He is getting pissed at some counties, because they don't like him. He threatening to cut their vaccines. The fighting is due to the reduction in vax delivery due to the winter storms, DeSatan pooled the vaxxes that arrived and sent them to 2 legislative districts that are nearly 100% white and 100% wealthy and 100% Republican.

9. Wow!

So, the governors who killed the most people have become the heroes in Trump World?

Tell me again how this isn't a cult? With a death wish, too.

And we thought the zombie movies/TV shows were fiction. Turns out they were a heads-up.

The zombie thing is also not that far off. SMH.
