Now that DeSantis has officially applied for President, what will happen to his job as Governor? Does he have to quit being Governor now?

[sage2021]

I saw on TV that Florida is getting over run with new residents. 1,200 per day! What will Florida be like if it's overcrowded and doesn't have DeSantis as their governor anymore?
They also have travel warnings up for black people. Does that mean black people can't enter Florida? Or does it mean enter at your own risk if you are black and trying to enter Florida?
Also, do you think Trump will win the presidency over DeSantis?

[LiamJHayden]

The travel warnings are from the NAACP, which has basically been irrelevant since Nixon was in office. What is funny about that is that one of the directors of the NAACP lives in Florida and said he is not leaving.

Anyway, what it does is create a probable split in the Republican Party - either Trump getting nominated while alienating supporters of DeSantis, Scott, and Haley - or DeSantis knocking Trump out, with hardcore Trump supporters saying F it and sitting on their hands in 2024. Either leads to another four years of Biden.

1. I personally think that NO POLITICIAN should be allowed to run for office.

2. Setting that aside, I think a sitting politician should have to resign before running for the presidency.

3. But as it stands, other than Sarah Palin, I don't think anyone has ever resigned their current office while running for the presidency, so neither should Ron.

4. Florida will be doomed without Ron, because even if they could find another governor of his caliber, the new influx of blue morons will vote for someone like Newsome.

5. Black people will flock to Florida, because they won't listen to the moronic head of the NAACP who lives there.

6. It will be close, but I think Trump will win.

Trump is the frontrunner by over 30 points today. I think the race will tighten up but he will still win. The NAACP made that travel advisory because the democrats are already trying to make DeSantis look like a racist. He can run for president while he is govenor but if he wins a new govenor must be selected. Different states have different methods of choosing

@exitseven
The other day there was some democratic
idiot showing a board with 6 other people running for president. Of course Trump was in first place with more than 50%. DeSantis was 20% and the others were it the low percentile with single digit numbers.
Then the guy tried to show how Trump could still lose because look at all the others - so he only has about 1/2 the votes. Huh? I don't think he understands how to read percentage ratings. 🙄 Wrong or right?

[exitseven]

@sage2021 Trump had 56% DeSaNtis had 20% and the rest were in single digits. Liz Cheney had 1%. . I don;t know how she got that many. The democrats will keep on indicting Trump on BS charges and they are getting illegal aliens drivers licenses so they can vote. Trump has already put together a ballot harvesting organization and plans on taking full advantage of the lax voting laws that enabled the democrats to steal the election in 2020. He said he would like to have paper ballots and only vote on election day but he realizes that if he did not work the system the Republicans would never win another election.

Thanks for the MHO😎

If he becomes president he won’t be governor anymore so it would end in the new year. I think the overcrowding is probably in the big cities, it’s always been pretty quiet when ever I travel there but with DeSantis new laws it will slow that down if it’s from illegals. As for not welcoming black people that is new to me, I’ve never seen that

[sage2021]

@Likes2drive
The travel warnings came from the NAACP. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Likes2drive]

Probably not warranted

[Surely]

To answer your last question. I listened to Desantis on Fox after he made his announcement. If you didn’t see his face. You would have thought Trump was being interviewed. Don’t know if there are enough Trump haters out there to enlist Desantis or the Democratic presidential candidate. Time will only tell!
Even Tim Scott is promoting most of Trump’s policies.
Guess we need to wait and hope a Democrat gets the position in 2024!

[Surely]

Elect. Not enlist!

[sage2021]

@Surley
Why would you hope for a democratic president in 2024?
Don't you think Biden hurt enough people during his Presidency? Don't you think the democrats destroyed America 🇺🇸 enough?
Biden is responsible for so many deaths.
Leaving Afghanistan and 13 soldiers were killed because Biden closed down the air port and that's how they were killed.
Numerous illegals died because he opened the boarder and innocent children were sent here all by themselves without a chaperone and they were left to wander the dirt and plants, hungry and alone. Some babies drowned in the river.

Yeah we need another MF like Biden. Right!

[Surely]

@sage2021. Easy there Sage! I was referring to the fact that if Trump would be the GOP candidate. There are so many people out there that hate Trump for reasons that they can not give
But since most of the hopeful candidates are running on Trumps platform with his tried and proven ideas. Who would be more electable?
The other thing that concerns me is that I heard that if Trump wasn’t chosen as the GOP Candidate. He would possibly run as an independent.
Which would probably hand the election to the Democrats.
To clarify my point on the Democrats. No democrat should ever be elected to any office!

[Surely]

It should have said to wait and hope that a Democrat DOESN’T get elected in 2024!

[BCRanger10]

He is still the governor. If (hopefully WHEN) he wins, then he will have to resign from being governor. In the meantime, his lieutenant, Jeanette Nunez, will probably take on more of the responsibilities.

[Jamie05rhs]

The travel advisory is a political stunt pulled by the NAACP in an attempt to retaliate against DeSantis for getting rid of Critical Race Theory.

[bondjames37]

I believe that FL. passed a bill allowing him to run & keep his position as governor.

[bondjames37]

Obviously if he wins, he has to give his position up.

[Sixgunsound]

Soros endorsed DeSantis. That's all I need to know.

[Iron_Man]

Only if he won the presidency

[Fuentes]

He may not win so he can stay as Gov
