Is it time to stick a fork in DeSantis?

[UncleMark]

His political epitaph will be something like presidential aspirations killed because he did not understand the term "woke"

It is a stupid term that is divisive and misunderstood. Unfortunately for Ron he thought he was smarter than most people when he is dumber than most people.

It's obvious he is able to direct the various components of Florida government to do what he wants them to do. That makes him highly effective and influential. Unfortunately, too often he's chosen to use that power and influence to do divisive, stupid things.

I think he's probably got a high IQ, but something's off with him. Personality disorder, or maybe he's got something going like Musk. Musk is more likeable, though.

How many elected republicans and/or Trump campaign officials have been busted for child molesting or child porn? And they scream about trannies all day long.

How many?

I line Sununu, but he has no chance. I’d actually vote for him or Haley over Biden. I would vote for Matt Painter over Trump. I’d be open to DeSantis if he’d grow up.

Sununu has an opportunity to potentially be the kingmaker if he opts to run for governor again. DeSantis could offer him a cabinet position or something if he’s actually bored of being governor.
I think Sununu like most other competent republicans is sick of Trump

The wife is watching the coronation on FoxNews. As I walked through the room, I saw a Ron DeSantis presidential campaign ad.
Has he officially entered?
The best part was a pair of hands placing a DeSantis for Prez bumper sticker over a Trump sticker.

It kind of feels like he's trying to "be Trump" instead of "win the nomination." I get how the blurry line between those two might lead him in that direction, but I think he's dropping the ball.

A new office complex, and relocation of a division from California, would have created more than 2,000 jobs but was scuttled as the company and Gov. Ron DeSantis continue to feud.

Does the GOP want to eagerly embrace someone so anti-business?

Going to war with by far the biggest employer and biggest tourist income generator in the state seems not only unwise but 100% against all rational free market economic principles.

All in the interest of "fighting wokeness" to rile up the rubes.

Do you know as much about business/economics as COVId? If so, DeSantis should feel pretty good about where he stands relative to your assessment & viewpoint.🤣🤣🤣

Who knows why Disney nixed this project. Revenue is down. Market cap is down.

It could be that they see large capital outlays like this as unnecessary in their current financial position.

Ron has dinged them, but more than anything the consumer is crushing them.

Watching the conservative consumer activate against Bud Light and Disney has been wonderful.

For too long we have been too disorganized.

The jobs not coming to Florida had nothing to do with DeSantis. They had already pushed them back to 2026 and the new CEO prefers the jobs to stay in California.

Yeah Iger was talking about mixing this project back in November. Thought the idea was dumb.

OS is dead wrong in this one per his usual arrangement.

 

[outside shooter]

The jobs not coming to Florida had nothing to do with DeSantis.

it's mighty coincidental then, with language like this:

Last month, Disney CEO Bob Iger told shareholders at its annual meeting that he believed DeSantis’ actions to punish Disney, one of the state’s largest employers, were “anti-business” and “anti-Florida.”

Yesterday, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings said in a statement. “These are the consequences when there isn’t an inclusive and collaborative work environment between the state of Florida and the business community. We will continue to work closely with our valued partners at Disney.”

The Disney memo yesterday was not as pointed, merely citing undefined “changing business conditions" for the plan to halt the $1B development and prevent 2,000 white-collar jobs from coming to FL.

But the dots are not at all hard to connect.

Florida costs of doing business are far less than in California, so opting to not transfer those job indicates concerns with the complications of dealing with DeSantis and his vindictive ring of anti-business embeciles.

It’s the fourth consecutive week of double-digit sales drops linked to Anheuser-Busch’s brief online marketing tie-up with the transgender influencer, which began on April 1 when Mulvaney posted videos of herself in a bubble bath drinking Bud Light.

“Anecdotally we are hearing that sales of Bud Light are declining more rapidly at bars and restaurants where some consumers don’t want to be seen drinking it or they are getting into arguments over the brand,” said Benj Steinman, editor of Beer Marketer’s Insights.

Bud Light sales decline is now affecting Anheuser-Busch’s other brands, according to new data

As beer drinkers discover how many other beer brands fall under the Anheuser-Busch umbrella, the backlash is widening, according to Bump Williams Consulting...

So what do you think of Hobby Lobby and other conservative CEOs butting into politics?

Or do you just get mad when liberal CEOs have an opinion?

Do you know what the difference is? No dem politician has passed revenge legislation to hurt companies with conservative CEOs. Could you imagine the outcry that would cause?

Disney brings in millions of dollars in tourism to florida every year. Getting them to blow away would not be in Florida's best interest (the very people Desantis is SUPPOSED to be working for).

Keep up. DeSantis isn't trying to get Trump's support. That ship sailed a long time ago.

He is trying to woo the barely literate, knuckle-dragging, Trump-worshipping, butt-crack displaying, Trump flag-waving, Wal-Mart shopping white folks, people who may want to come around to the notion that DeSantis is somewhat Trumpish but with less baggage, and is as pro white, pro-straight, and anti-woke as them.

I suppose I’m confused as to which cult you were referring to then if not the “Trump cult”.

Obviously being “anti-business” in the sense of supporting Florida’s actions towards Disney wouldn’t qualify one for any sort of Trump cult.

You seem to have tied yourself in a logical knot.

 

[outside shooter]

A normal state of affairs.

DeSantis is obviously trying to walk a fine line. Woo all of the Trump cult of morons by being thought of as "almost as good as my orange God, 'cause he's so anti-woke" but at the same time not waging too much of a direct battle with Trump himself.

Yes, LAST YEAR. Before DeSantis went on his anti-woke rip. Before he 100% went anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-immigrant, and focused on pandering to the mouth breathers. Before, when flushing 2,000 jobs was not (to him) worth it, but now is, because of votes won in the buttcrack gang.

Lmao you like AOC and the woke clowns who dumped Amazon and 25,000 jobs. Anti Mask anti Covid lockdowns and taxes are why companies are moving to fla and will continue to do so.
