Covid wars launch DeSantis into GOP ‘top tier’

[AlterEgo]

Yep, sounds like the very thing the GOP would find appealing. Maybe he will be the nominee. He's despicable enough.

However, if he runs against a President Biden who gets credit for ending the pandemic I don't think his coronavirus response as Governor will be received as warmly as the always out-of-touch GOP base may think it is.

Anyone who finds his COVID response to be absolutely horrid voted HRC in 2016, Biden in 2020, and will vote for anyone the Democrats put up in 2024.

The more deaths you're responsible for, the more popular you are with the current Republican Party.

Florida had one of the best COVID responses in the country.

If you're a libertarian to the point of being a sociopath, sure.

FL is 29th in per capita cases (8701 per 100,000). For as much vitriol as this state gets here and elsewhere on the interwebs, it's a bit overblown.

Denying science and common sense to "own teh libz" is basically the modern GOP platform, so it's no surprise.

Must be why Florida is doing better than the median state

According to NPR, Florida had a transmission rate of 28 new cases per day per 10,000 people this week, which is higher than all but 8-9 states.

If you look at those states in red on that map, though, there's not really much correlation. There's a good mix of states that have been more stringent with states that have been more lax.

The only person that can win over AA is Rubio and can win VA over Biden or Harris. DeSantis like Trump memorializes Rush Limbaugh but fail to memorialize Covid victims, where Females and Minorities are in nursing homes especially, sick from Covid.

DeSantis crushes Rubio in primaries I get the forum likes DeSantis but where was Trump or DeSantis last Monday when Congress memorializes Covid victims, they were in FL like CPAC and Sean Hannity, memorializing Rush Limbaugh.

That's why DeSantis almost lost to Gilliam and would have lost to Graham

The Republican candidate almost lost to the Democratic candidate for governor because the Republican candidate always almost loses to the Democratic candidate. But never does. Every. Single. Election. Doesn't matter who the GOP candidate is. Doesn't matter who the Dem candidate is.

Yeah we nominated Gilliam whom underperformed the polls and the polls showed that he would beat DeDantis, which lied we should of nominated Graham, she would have beaten DeSantis

Just like the same polls showed Biden winning by 14 over Trump

Polls lie to us all the time

Not sure what any of that has to do with the fact that any Dem candidate is going to lose to any Rep candidate by a rather slim margin no matter who the candidates are.

DeSantis would've beaten Graham by under a point just like he beat Gillum. Just like Scott beat Crist by a point. Just like Scott beat Sink by 1.2 points
