Former President Donald Trump holds a 20-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida, polling from the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab found.
The survey found Florida Republicans maintaining a commitment to the former president, even on DeSantis’s home turf.Half of GOP primary voters in the Sunshine State, 50 percent, support Trump in the crowded Republican primary field. DeSantis comes in a distant second, garnering 30 percent support in the Florida primary.

It is time for justice, which means putting Trump back in the WH for a second term, which he won in 2020.

For all of the “good” things he was reported to have done for Florida, he apparenly did not win the people. His sketchy legislation that changed the law about a governor’s having to resign if he wanted to run for president. His sketchy legislation to hide his travel when everyone knew his “travel” was actually a preannouncement campaign tour that he called a “book tour”. More recently, supposedly loaded with campaign funds, he grabbed millions from the PAC that was his gubernatorial war chest.
Would I trust him if I were a Floridian? Not a chance. He is a lawyer. Like another lawyer, Barack, he used/bent the law to benefit himself and his ambition. He insulted the intelligence of his own voters in his own state.
He and his handlers opted for him to not have campaign events in Florida…not even in the town where he was born and raised, played in Little League… Afraid he’d get more boos than cheers. Sad.

DeSantis main problem is that he has made a lot of people made by deciding to stab President Trump in the back and run in 2024.
The people of Florida just overwhelmingly elected him governor, and expected him to serve out his term and give them his primary attention. Instead, he has spent 75% of his time campaigning (even before he announced his candidacy). I'm guessing there are a fair percentage of his supporters who feel like they were used and lied to.
But, even more, there are far more Trump supporters than there are DeSantis supporters -- even in Florida. If DeSantis had been smart, he would have been Trump's biggest cheerleader in 2024, and concentrated on building up his conservative credentials as a successful governor for the next few years. Then he would have been the odd-on Republican candidate for president in 2028 -- with the full support of both Trump's huge base of voters and Donald Trump himself. But his ego got the better of him, and he committed political suicide by choosing to run against President Trump in 2024. Every day, he is reminding me just a little more of George W. Bush -- and that is not a good thing!!!

I support Gov. DeSantis on NOT continuing the subsidies for ethanol - how many decades has ethanol been around and it still needs subsidies? Screw the all of the above approach. When Trump says he supports them - that's pandering and I do not like it. So sick of Iowa being the all important state in electing the President because of what: corn?
However, I think Gov. DeSantis would have done himself a favor if had just waited until 2028.

Maybe it's a good thing that DeSantis got ahead of himself. It gives us more insight into his character than perhaps we would have had he just settled down to complete his term as governor while looking ahead to '28. Now we've been given an earlier chance to see the 'real' DeSantis and we've discovered things we don't like. That doesn't mean he'll be out of the running in '28 but it does mean a lot of voters may take a harder look at him than they would otherwise.

Desantis lost me with his 2024 bid. All the announced gop candidates opposing trump r in it for theirselves not the country or americans. 2020 election was fraud and an overthrow of our government and judicial by communists. It can not be righted in the corrupt judiciary. The only chance america has to right 2020 is to put trump into power. Anyone who loves this country and hopes we can save america from the communists needs to stand unified to return the true president of the republic to office. To me it is a simple litmus test u love the American republic if u support trump 2024 and acknowledge the undisputible fraud of 2020.

Trump/DeSantis reminds me of Trump/Jeb Bush back in 2016. Neither has been able to gain traction regardless of how much money is thrown at them. Charisma matters.
