    GOP had pipe dreams that vaccine mandates would really hurt Newsome.

    They actually helped him.
    People prefer to be safe and smart. Go figure.

    As the rightwing elite continue to encourage their rube base to committ COVID-assisted suicide, it may start to make a statistical difference in the strength of GOP voter turnout

    How much evidence to the Trumppers need that Turds election was a fluke and that ultra radical hate is not a viable strategy?

    Turd won one election.

    The US needs voter reform. I recommend anyone who can't pass both a civics and a psych exam be denied the right to vote until they can.

    The vast majority of Americans, unlike Trump fans, support the Constitution and common sense.

    Agreed. The Floridians are responsible for the own state. If they want DeSantis to run the show, they'll reelect him. If not, they'll either recall him or vote for someone else

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybe...h=26e18b2c1117
    TOPLINE Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas have seen their approval ratings dip amid an alarming rise of Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations in both states over the past two months, with an increasing number of voters, particularly independents, saying they disapprove of DeSantis and Abbott’s performance, according to a Morning Consult poll released Thursday.

    KEY FACTS

    • In Morning Consult polling that concluded on July 1, only 38% of independent voters said they disapproved of DeSantis’ job performance, yet in polling conducted August 21 to August 30, that number had spiked to 51%.
    • DeSantis still has strong support among the GOP base, with more than four in five Florida Republicans saying they still approve of the governor, although that number dipped slightly since the beginning of July, from 87% to 83%.
    • Among all voters, DeSantis’ net approval rating has plunged 14 percentage points over the past two months.
    • In Texas, 48% of independent voters said they disapproved of Abbot in early July, but that number has now risen to 54%.


    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.
