When an elected officials publicly refuses to carry out the duties of their job, or to enforce the law, then the public has the right for that elected official to be removed.

I'm pretty sure the courts backed DeSantis up on that too.

That makes DesSantis more likeable, not less likeable...to Floridians anyways.

Most people like when elected officials are held accountable.

Whatever floats your boat. All I want is to see him stay in Florida. Let him make that state his kingdom if he wants.

I agree with others that the crooked bought and paid for media is nothing but a propaganda machine to put out their own narratives, which is that "DeSantis is bad". Sad that so many can't think for themselves. Our species is doomed........
Sort of. Every presidential election in the television era has been won by the more likable candidate.

I don't care if they act presidential or have great personality - I just want someone with conviction - I just want someone who's noble, has morals and ethics similar to my own and cares for America and it's people.

He just barely beat him too! If it wasn't for Trump helping him he wouldn't have won!

I will be voting for Trump in the primary!

I don't care what color this state is. What I care about is bodily autonomy for women and their right to medical privacy. I care about children being taught literature, social sciences, ACTUAL history, and critical thinking. I care about people - including children - allowed to discuss their heritage and parentage without fear of "disobeying" a regulation. I care about the separation of Church and State. I care about free and fair elections, and the elimination of gerrymandering. I care about how this state has a surplus, but a forest filled with homeless people and sub-par medical care. I care about people STILL not getting a check from the insurance company for hurricanes that destroyed their homes two years ago, and the Governor helping those insurance companies make bank or leave for better scams in other states instead.

I am not a Democrat. Never was, never will be. I'm one of the people who voted for Ronald Reagan, back in the day. I think desantis has done a horrible job. For the past year, most of "his job" consisted of public relations stunts at taxpayer expense, and campaigning for a federal gig after he changed his own state's laws to give himself permission to remain on the taxpayer dime in Florida while he's out running for president everywhere else.
I couldn't rep you but I agree with this all!
