Every single Republican I know personally is as vile as DeSatan and as corrupt as Donald Trump.

2. I imagine that as a child, DeSantis pulled the wings off flying insects.

I also imagine that as an adult, he still does.

3. DeSantis is through with Florida. They have served his purpose and he no longer cares.

He has discarded them, as they are no longer needed for him to fulfill his ambitions.

Everything he does now is to impress conservative media so they will endorse him for his next job.

6. When he fails in his presidential run, I suspect that he will challenge Rubio's or Scott's seat.

Or, if it is simpler, he could just have his brown shirts give either Scott or Rubio the fog and night treatment.

I don't think that a third term is out for the man. I think that he could get the term limits changed, through the red legislature and the far right courts. Hell, he may become governor for life.

8. DeSantis is a man who needs to be denied any power in the future.

He has proven he has a warped mind and is capable of despicable actions that hurt innocent people just because he thinks there’s some benefit for him. I believe DeSantis is actually more of a psychopath than Trump.

10. And Florida right now is serving as his pilot plant

"Here, let me show you some of the despicable things I'd do as president!"

Or maybe part of his game of deplorable one-=upsmanship he's having with Abbott.

11. I frequent some car forums that have politics sections.

There is usually a large portion of Floridians in these politics sections. Two years ago they spoke of him as if he was the second coming of Christ. Now the don't hardly ever mention him since he started his current campaign. I know that's a small sampling for a state with the population of Florida, but it's interesting.

12. He may not be finished in Florida but as a national figure his appeal...

is already fading badly. Turns out he's not so smart as anyone who stupidly goes against the ever popular tourist destinationDisney, and at the same time pins his whole national campaign on something as undefined as being "anti-woke" when no one can define "woke", is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Plus, he's often unlikable and short with others on the campaign trail...and I don't mean just short physically.
