Raising taxes and taking guns, just like mark Cuban “ I’m out “

“The people of Florida sent a message“ yeah, they’re going to send another message in November, “go away Charlie“. I’m a truck driver in Ohio, I have a better chance of winning the Florida governor race than this guy does. It’s already over.

I don't see this being close but I live in North Florida, its practically a different state. I bet DeSantis will have at least 90% of the vote from Gainesville up.

Your going to lose Crist we don't want you as our Governor.

[davidsteinfeld]

DeSantis you are the coolest 😎 I'm FREE

[soundcheckk]

Nothing like another old white career politician, trying to stay relevant. I guess Charlies thought that we forgot about his ties to his sugar daddy Scott Rothstein.

[matthewst]

Your going to lose like you did Rick Scott 8 years ago

Let’s go. We can make this place it once was back when it was in the 90s👏👏👏

Let's get to work Charlie, we need good paying jobs in Florida.

[Magnulus]

"They want a governor who cares about them, to solve real problems"- YES. Enough of this culture war crap of bigoted dog whistles and attacks against the LGBT community. We need to restore respect and dignity in our state and focus on policies that actually benefit everyone.

Get ready for that thumpin, crist. Save your money and forfeit now.

[michaelsigismonde]

Crist has promised to enact the first state tax in Florida if he becomes governor. It's about time all those elderly retirees started to pay their fair share of running a state as large as Florida. Look at how much the state pays out to take care of them!

[donnastorch]

Sorry, you're not going to win...

[brittneyk]

THIS will be one of the easiest decisions you’ll ever have to make!

One of the candidates has the audacity to think he can speak FOR you. The other understands that his role is to advocate on BEHALF OF you!

A wise man once said……

“HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED!”

Ladies, lets’s

[Stephaniesworld]

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 I aint voting for no demoncrat. DeSantis for the win 🥇

[Taniere]

Lolol Desantis is going to mop the floor with this guy. He switches parties based on who gives up the dough.

On the other hand, I do think Val can beat Marco.

doesn't look like there's any red waves like Republicans predicted
