Ron DeSantis says Nevada, Florida both home to 'disgruntled Californians'

'It's actually kind of new for us. Y'all have been having that for many, many years.'

Leave it to Gov. Ron DeSantis to find common ground between Nevada and Florida.

“We are both areas that receive a lot of disgruntled Californians,” DeSantis said Saturday at the Basque Fry.

“It’s actually kind of new for us. Y’all have been having that for many, many years. I was born and raised in Florida. I don’t think I ever saw a California license plate all the time I was growing up. And why would you? I mean, they’ve got great stuff there.”

The Governor will see some of that “great stuff” Monday when he heads to the Golden State Monday, as reported by KABC.

“The Republican presidential candidate will attend several fundraising events, including a breakfast in Sacramento where a seat at a table is said to cost ($3,300).”

California and Nevada have one thing in common, meanwhile. Both states’ Republicans prefer Donald Trump in polls.

A recent Emerson College Poll of California Republicans is the worst yet for the Florida Governor. DeSantis trails Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Primary race, 53% to 19%.

DeSantis appears to be facing competition for second place, meanwhile, as 10% of those polled back former Vice President Mike Pence, who just entered the race this month.

A recent Public Policy Institute of California survey, conducted May 17-24, shows the former President with 50% support, way ahead of DeSantis at 21%.

In Nevada, where DeSantis has previously said he was “ballot harvesting,” the polls tell a similar story, with the Governor more than 30 points down in two recent surveys.

A survey from American Greatness shows the Florida Governor commands just 21% support in the state, with Trump taking 53%. An additional 17% are undecided, and no other candidate gets more than 3% support.

A Vote TXT survey conducted for Nevada Newsmakers back in May showed Trump up 51% to 21% for DeSantis, with 11% undecided and Nikki Haley’s 5% leading stragglers in the back of the pack.

Never Back Down, DeSantis’ supportive super PAC, has targeted Nevada with mail explaining why the then-undeclared potential Presidential candidate should be the next Republican nominee.

The pieces extol the Governor’s “blue-collar backbone forged with steel” and “honor, courage and commitment.”

1. DeSantis is flat-out King Hypocrite.
2. He started out as Governor seemingly pretty decently – publicly, anyway – but once Covid had firmly established itself for some time time he *appeared* to relatively suddenly turn excessively authoritarian with a mean, angry demeanor which has only gotten worse with time.
3. He may THINK he is “America’s Governor” but according to all polls he most definitely is NOT.
4. He ALSO seems to believe he is “America’s Father” too – which he *ABSOLUTELY* is NOT. I and many other parents will never, EVER forget that utterly excruciating-to-watch moment on tv when elementary school children (19 of them, I believe?), all APPROPRIATELY wearing masks as instructed by their parents and teachers while horizontally lined up behind him, were suddenly and TOTALLY inappropriately absolutely EXCORIATED by this so-called “man” for wearing those masks and *INSISTING* to them MULTIPLE times that they remove them as according to HIM – NOT their parents or teachers, HIM – the masks were “not necessary” (at that time and in that circumstance the masks MOST CERTAINLY WERE necessary). It was one of the most disgusting displays of totally insufferable arrogance that I have EVER seen ANY politician EVER display in a public setting, and to seem him behave in that manner to other parents’ well-behaved children was both horrendous and totally uncalled for.
5. His unjustifiable, mean-spirited public attacks on the genuine rights of minorities, immigrants, women, parents – and in fact anyone else who does not share his distorted vision of what (un)American society “should” look like – are undertaken with the belief that doing so will buy him votes.

Such a person is in NO way suitable to hold high public office, at least not in THIS country. China, North Korea or Iran, perhaps, but not the United States of America.

A lot of people retire to Florida for the weather, but soon learn to put up with the heat and the stupidity. It’s gotten much worse lately.

Why is that Ron is always angry at someone, and against someone or something. Take ballot harvesting: bad in Florida, yet something he’ll do in Nevada. Double standard? Lies, perhaps?

  Working part-time, I bring domestic nearly 13,000 per month. I was sharp to discover out after hearing a few others portray how much cash they were able to create online. Well, it all came to pass and totally modified my ba-50 life. Presently, everybody has to attempt this work by utilizing this site.

  You couldn’t have said it better! I’d add all the retribution, retaliation for anyone who defies him – Disney, the DA in Hillsboro County, School Board appointments, laws for insurers instead of constituents, book bans, attacks against minorities, immigrants & LGBQT+ and more – more of a fascist state than freedom (where woke goes to die 🙄)

There isn’t a chip on Earth small enough not to bother some White person’s shoulder.

People moving here with money to spend, that’s what upsets you?

Florida is home of disgruntled Floridians above all else, thanks entirely to Rhonda. They can say it’s Californians who are Florida’s disgruntled all Rhonda wants, but everybody knows it’s Floridians from Florida who are unhappy with Governor Little Bug Man after he trans-formed into Rhonda the Anti-Trans-Drag-Queen Queen.

One thing Florida is not full of, that is vacationers with money to spend. These days Florida gets only those vacationers who drive (not fly) to the beach, but somehow can’t afford Myrtle Beach.

Florida is also the home of disgruntled native Floridians.

Isn’t it cute when the Governor says “Y’all”?
Bet he never said it while he was at Harvard or Yale.
