My fear is Ron DeSantis stepping into the void. He has gotten nuttier and nuttier, and the FL Republican dominated legislature giving him everything he wants.

it'll be like fighting cocks with spurs attached to their ankles, vicious dogs wailing in the night. Neither De Santis, Pompeo or whoever that is currently visible on that side has any chance of dominating any more than a minor faction....severely lacking in the charisma stakes if nothing else. These people can hardly be termed "sensible". There will no longer be any incentive to gather round one or the other when one might win oneself. There are no prizes for being the one that serves the dictator rather than being the one that dictates as those serving are useful but expendable....and their lives are often short.
I often come back to Putin's story of the death of the first Tsar 1000 years ago when it took the mutual slaughter of 17 pretenders to the thrown befor a surviving "champion" emerged.
The cockfight has already begun. And many social media posts are fanning the flames. For the first time, polls (I hate polls) show DeSantis below the top two leading Dem contenders for FL Governor. However, DeSantis is sitting on a mountain of cash with no competition and the Dems will spend scarce dollars to win the primary with nothing remaining to fight DeSantis in an expensive media market. But I do hope you are correct!
I believe what DeSantis is doing is not sustainable. HeтАЩs тАЬactingтАЭ crazy but unllike TFG, he lacks the (crazy)gene mutation.Although it will certainly get worse here in Fl before it gets betterтАж.
Yes. It was the State that put our Orange Co. Health doctor on Admin. leave for a memo wondering why the folks in his public health office were refusing vaccination. Other County health officials have reported on the increasing consolidation of power into Tallahassee-- more and more has to be approved by the State.
Wow! I knew nothing about that! Right on! DeSantis should be committed. What a nut.. but you are right...there's zero charisma in that confederacy of dunces..NOBODY!? Cruz!?!? Please say he doesn't stand a chance.. and dear lord... I keep thinking that Josh Hawley is waiting the wings..but also I have a feeling that something is going to comet about him re: January 6th... would LOVE TO SEE THAT! I would pay anything for front row seats!

I was glad to see the editorial from Florida Today stating Dr. Pino should be reinstated ASAP.
IтАЩm sure Scott Maxwell will weigh in !
IтАЩm also a retired public health professional. We were required to get a flu shot every year. NO ONE complained.
I agree, Stuart, but I lack your conviction. On the other hand, if DEMs can triumph in November... (2022. 2024 will be too late)
Time is of the essence, David.
