I think Desantis and Trump have turned Fla deep red...The cubans are fully on board

I guess the Republican power brokers have created a subtle PR campaign for the next establishment R candidate.

I think Florida, Iowa, and Ohio are now red states. Need to hold onto NC and Texas, and somehow get the fraud under control in Georgia, Arizona, PA, MI before 2024

The establishment candidate from Florida would be Rick Scott. The RPOF and insiders from Florida did not like DeSantis at all and backed former Agriculture Chair Adam Putnam in the primary 3 years ago. DeSantis is absolutely NOT an establishment candidate and to say he is is to demonstrate ignorance of state politics in Florida

I hope this isn't so, but I think you are correct.

Those President* Biden approval numbers show the bias in the polls.

I hope so. Care to fill us in on why he isn't.

It’s not correct. DeSantis recently called out the GOP old guard. He’s more of a traditional politician than Trump to be sure, but calling him establishment is ignorant.

You don't graduate from Yale University and Harvard Law School and not be beholden to the swamp.

I just explained it. The establishment in Florida primed Adam Putnam from the age of 24. Ron DeSantis was an insurgent candidate who had gauges noteriety for being an outspoken Trump supporter in the US Congress.
DeSantis defeated Putnam and went on to beat Gillum with tacit support at best from the establishment in Florida (who pre-blamed him for the expected Senate loss for Rick Scott).
DeSantis has never been apart of the establishment in Florida and has been their opponent for as long as he's been in politics in the state

Un no dude.
DeSantis wasn't even who the establishment wanted at all in 2018. They backed the milk toast Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
The biggest tell that DeSantis isn't GOPe is how hard he pushed E-Verify in the legislature in 2019 and the establishment and their cheap labor buddies had to call in all sorts of favors and pull strings to water that down as much as they could.

Anecdotally, and nowhere near as direct as your explanation, I am childhood friends with a GOPe person embedded deep in the swamp. His tepid reaction when I mentioned DeSantis (and his own push for Rubio) gave me good indication that DeSantis hasn't yet been consumed by the swamp. Eta: That all said, there was a point in time when Rubio was "insurgent" and even somewhat of a Tea Party / Andrew Breitbart candidate. So he can always evolve in a negative way.
I think he would be damn near a home run if Trump doesn't run. Kicking arse as governor, goes after the media hard, and has a certain air of sincerity that comes across better optically IMO than most politicians. If he can't win the general in a fair election, not sure how the GOP can ever win again.

I remember reading articles about the incredible tension of the transition process between Scott and DeSantis and how it was mean girl bullshite all around.
Scott even left in the middle of the DeSantis inaugural ceremony.
Petty.
Btw, I recently took a look at Putnam's twitter feed and it was so stupidly low energy as it gets.

Right, because we all know elections matter.
