I cannot understand people dithering about DeSantis possibly leaving in January '25--so what? He will have served 6 of the possible 8 years as governor. Is 2 more really going to make a huge difference for Florida? What the hell can he do in 8 years that can't be done in 6?
Meanwhile look at what these Dem cocksuckers have done to the US in just 1.75 years. Holy fuck! It takes no time to run a country into the shitter, as they have proven. We need President Ron ASAP.
If you disagree I don't think you are a bad person, but I have no confidence in your political sensibilities whatsoever.
He can continue to pressure the legislature to pass good legislation if he stays his whole term. But since he isn't and he needs the establishment to support his 2024 campaign....
Ultimately, the legislature has DeSantis over the barrel now. If DeSantis wants to continue looking good for 2024, that means the legislature must pass legislation that makes him look good. Which in turn means they won't unless they get WHAT THEY WANT.
The game of quid pro quo is afoot now and we saw it with the Disney bill. Wilton Simpson and Ron DeSantis hate each other. But Simpson threatened no Disney bill if he gets no endorsement from DeSantis for the Commissioner of Agricultural race.
Thus, the Disney bill was passed in the Special Session and Simpson got his endorsement.
Remember, this was when DeSantis said that Constitutional Carry would be part of the Special Session. And suddenly, Constitutional Carry died because DeSantis stated there wasn't enough support among lawmakers in the legislature when he polled them right before the Special Session.
Though the Disney bill was never even part of the original proposal for a Special Session.
It was , Insurance Reform, Election Integrity, and Constitutional Carry.
But suddenly, Constitutional Carry dissappears and the Disney bill passes with flying colors.
