    It's displaced aggression on his part. He can't avoid seeing it on his smartphone even if he's such a cowardly pissant as to throw dishes at staffers.

    Still, he'll find a reason to get out when it's clear to him he'll lose.

That "Don't Say Gay" bill, the bill in the OP here. Punishing Disney via taxation for daring to criticism his bigotry. Going to TX to round up some asylum seekers and then flying them to Martha's Vineyard. Yelling at some school kids wearing masks at a photo-op. Punishing a state official who blew the whistle on how FL was cheating on COVID stats by sending armed officers to invade her home. Arresting some ex-cons for voter fraud then having them set free because there was no criminal intent, etc. etc. Non-FL MAGATs hope that he can do all this nastiness on a national level. Think he can get elected on that platform?
    Yes. It plays well in Florida, but will NOT play well on the national stage.

    I just learned something interesting yesterday. At 25, DeSantis graduated Yale and started teaching at a private college maybe in Ga? Fla.?

    He taught history, and his students described him as snotty, and aggressive. (big surprise)

    BUT...he used to party with the seniors, which is a big violation of protocol.

    In class, he 'understood why the South fought against slavery. People had businesses, and the slaves were their possessions.'

    Not much has changed.

    We all know that he views politics as a money making scheme. He'll stay in the game until the small dollar donations stop flooding in.

    He can make money from suckers either in politics or out. Even when he drops out, he'll continue to milk Trump sheep by declaring the Republican Party corrupt and forming the Party of Truth or some bullshit.

    More and more dirt is going to come out about him as media interest in a possible national run ramps up. Just hope they don't create another monster like they did in 2016 with the Toadstool. He had more air time than the rest of the candidates combined. No doubt his operatives are busy digging for that DeSatan dirt right now.

    MSNBC morning show takes the blame for giving trump so much airtime in '16. The whores will always push what sells, but back then they thought he was a joke with no chance to win.

    A spectacle, as it were.

    Never watch it, but we do watch NBC Nightly News most every night. That's what I'm talking about. They'd show a minute or two of one of his Nuremberg rallies, the shoving and pushing and screaming, then just a few seconds of the other candidates' boring-by-comparison speeches.

    MSNBC was the worst. They had a long time relationship with trump before his political aspirations. He called every morning.

    Norah O'Donnell, CBS Evening News. The NBC signal is weak out here but I can record it on Sling so will start recording NBC evening news.
