I split my time between CA and FL 70%/30%. DeSantis is great. FL is a much better place than CA right now.

The amount of hate he got from both sides says everything about him Ron Desantis is a true hero and a true conservative

What a great speech by DeSantis. He's a a great leader and natural speaker who supports another great leader, Trump! And the Weekend at Bernie's is a pretty good analogy spot on.

Jill has worn out her welcome also. She's like a loud female version of Macron's wife.

Ron is one great American. He would have made a great president, or VP. But glad he is staying in the great state of Florida as America's greatest Govonor.
