Florida’s Governor is speaking out about the First Lady potentially running to succeed him, downplaying Casey DeSantis’ interest in the job.
Ron DeSantis said that if he “had to characterize her interest in getting into the political thicket as a candidate,” he would “characterize it as zero.”
“But, you know, I think it’s because she’s had a front row seat (for) all the nonsense that goes on when you do it,” DeSantis added while speaking in Coral Gables’ Granada Church.
Surveys have suggested that Florida Republicans might embrace her as a candidate.
A poll conducted in April by Florida Atlantic University and Mainstreet Research showed 38% of 372 Florida Republicans polled would choose the First Lady in a head-to-head race against U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who would receive 16% support in this scenario.
A University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab survey from November 2023 showed the First Lady with 22% support, a lead in a crowded field of potential candidates.
It should be noted that 40% of respondents were undecided amid names like U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, Gaetz, Attorney General Ashley Moody, Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz.

Hey Dick. How many people on this board use their real name? How do we know it is really you Dick? You are a perfect reason most people here do not use their real name. Last thing we want is some half crazed hillbilly from Tennessee pulling up to our place of residence, possibly armed. I see your people in Portland. I see your people in Atlanta. I see your people in NYC and Seattle. I want nothing to do with you and your lunatics.

You have certainly taken great interest in me. Like I said above really no one on here posts their real name for obvious reasons. I am more and more convinced you are a wacko and want to confront me personally. As far as balls. My gonads are just fine. You have no idea what I do now or what I did in the past. It obviously drives you crazy. Sorry buttercup, you will never get my name.

HOWLER MONKEY i didn’t say i wanted your name. i said you were hiding behind a fake name. anyway, a guy like you is going to lie and manipulate. so i don’t expect you ever to be honest, even with yourself. just keep name calling and spewing lies, that’s what you seem to love to do no matter if you are a 15 year old girl. come on lets hear some more parroting of maga cult talking points. you love you some hate don’t you? grrrrrrrrrrrr, is that what you cave people do.

Good for her.
And good to announce it now.
Boating Hit and Run in Miami
May 13, 2024 at 5:25 pm
These are your neighbors; hit and run monsters-
A 15-year-old ballerina was killed in a hit-and-run boat crash while water skiing in Miami over the weekend, officials said.
Ella Riley Adler, a student at Ransom Everglades School, was enjoying an idyllic Saturday afternoon celebrating a friend’s birthday in Key Biscayne’s Nixon Beach when a boat collided with her before speeding away, WSVN reports.
Ella, a dancer with Miami City Ballet, was left bobbing in the water as first responders reported “a lot of blood” coming from her body.

She doesn’t want to be governor and we don’t want her to be governor – it’s a match made in heaven.

That makes two of them not wanting to be Florida’s Governor. So why are we still suffering these two in the Gov mansion?
“Resign to Run” is a thing for a reason.
Exempting Rhonda from RtR (while also exempting them from Sunshine Laws) was smart of the Flg0P strategery wise for themselves, but at the same time it was awful for Florida.

This announcement by Ron DeSantis can only mean one thing… eventually his wife will run for office.

I’d put money on it.. and she’d have a better than average chance of winning, too, sadly.

Will need to see her long form birth certificate. And Ron’s long form birth certificate too. People are saying she is just Ron in racoon makeup and less high than his usual heels.

The parallels between Desantis and George Wallace keep coming.
His push to make our education system plantation style, claiming the benefits of slavery and to eliminate Black History classes is reminiscent of Mr. Wallace’s defense of segregation. Wallace’s wife Lurleen, despite her cancer, was ‘forced’ to run for governor to succeed him so he could get around term limits. Would not be surprised if she did run. His presidential run pretty much crapped the bed of Florida politics, so we might be hearing those cow bells again.

Zero interest now is not the same as won’t run.
