If DeSantis went that route, he may as well have the closet twink as his running mate, Charlie Crist.
The one thing I like about Desantis the most
- Thread starter DCandtheUTBand
- Start date
Cool. Rick Scott is a fine Senator. Better to have the seat in R hands versus D.
Not the head or future of the party.
I believe that Jim Jordan is the best, most informed, and most honorable politician that's currently in the swamp.
JMOHO here, but George Wallace said something to the effect that,,,
'there ain't a dimes worth of difference between the Rats and the Pubs.'
Intimating that in the swamp, they are really just two (corrupt) fraternities in the same power-blinded school. (so they shot him for letting that cat out of the bag)
Because of what they've let happen in that swamp, I'll never support the GOP as a party again. However, I'll support almost anyone that supports the MAGA Platform.
I believe that what we need is a Constitutional MAGA Party (CMP) going forward, because there are just to many RINO's, both openly and hiding in the closet.... They all hang to their positions and power when voting, over any interest in serving the Sovereign American People or defending the Constitution.

Obama: We can not drill our way out.
Trump: Hold my Sprite.
ByeDone: Where am I?
Sunny: We went from 12M barrels to 10M.
Me: Drill baby drill.
Geico: mean tweets would save you $1.33/gal.

If he helps show a broader, more inclusive face to the Republican party, helps move independents and suburban females and then wins the election for a DeSantis, we all have plenty of use for Tim Scott.
This was the Younkin playbook and it worked really well.
He is also is very credible on areas such as police reform and can go toe to toe with the Cory Booker's of the world. Is Kamala, in a VP debate going to "cackle" about CRT nuances with Tim? No.
Finally, Tim is a pure "bootstrap" story and shows the best of this country. This part of Tim's story resonates with Hispanics who want an opportunity for a better life. It resonates with me.
On the DeSantis policy, this is why he is so powerful. He is making government work for the working people.
Yep they better steer clear of him being on the ticket. Way too establishment just like the other Senator there.
It's a great way to lose a race.
Remember, the core "Patriot" part of the party is maybe 20-30% of the electorate. To have a governing majority, you need to have voters who agree with you on a number of core policy items (e.g. strong borders, revived US manufacturing, limited government, etc.) but not on all. For example, I am sure I differ with you on the role of the federal government in abortion after the 20 week. (I want it out as I, a taxpayer, do not want to have to care for that child if the parents cannot support it. I have my own needs at home.) You likely vehemently disagree with me and have very principled reasons for doing so. But is it worth alienating my vote and, say, an election and control of one or all three houses, over that one issue? Doubt it.
Remember as well, this middle can flip either way quickly.
Also, you will want strong leaders in the House and Senate. The Democrats did this, brilliantly, in their own way. When the Dems won the senate, Bernie became head of the Budget committee would have pushed a $5B+ bill if he did not have to contend with Mancin and Synema.
Put Jim Jordan in charge of a number of these house committees with a parallel individual on the house side, and significant change can be accelerated.
If Trump doesn't run and DeSantis runs with Tim Scott, he probably loses my vote. Scott threw the most popular republican in the history of the party, under the bus.
If DeSantis wants to run with him, then he's not as smart as I think he is.
The Republican party isn't racist, that's the dems. We don't view people by their skin color or gender, we view them by their character.
Please stop letting the dems make you feel guilty about problems that don't exist.
I knew there was a reason I liked Geico.
Youngkin, barely won. If McAwful hadn't put his foot in his own mouth and pissed off parents in NoVa, he would have won by a large margin.
No one denies life saving treatment if you can afford it. The question is who should pay for it.
Didn't he immediately do an about-face on the shots as soon as he was elected?
Republicans never win close races.
I do not remember much talk about vaccine mandates. I know Youngkin was vaccinated, but also pro your choice. Now, he didn't do what DeSantis did and ban vaccine mandates, he just said their won't be a State Vaccine mandate, but left it open to localities to decide on their own.
911 - I get what you are saying, but in this case, HHS moved mono-clonal antibodies out of Florida to other states. At my prior firm, we worked with HHS on MCA rollouts - they are profoundly effective.
The other poster is right which is that this is the potential risk of government run health care. Here is another risk: specific definition of clinical protocols.
What happens instead of choosing between Pfizer, Moderna or JNJ, we are forced to choose Sinovax because of broader trade relations? Do we feel comfortable with this? I am comfortable with the first three because they are US firms and US manufactured. Sinovax may be safe and effective, but Chinese incentives and approach are not always aligned with ours.
Personally, I am a significant supporter of our vaccine portfolio and even received a booster shot in CO hours before the CDC approved it. That is another example of Governors going out in front of the Federal government, because you had a small group at the FDA worried about "global vaccine equity" before putting America first.
These are the type of considerations in play and consider my comments in light of me being a Vaccine proponent.
That should give pause.
Those are valid concerns. I’m not for nationalized healthcare, but I believe there should be a low cost public option available. I don’t trust the insurance companies either. They value profits above all else.
😂
Who in the hell do you think really runs Social Security? I'll give you a hint, it's NOT the .GOV Very damn few people use the traditional Part A, B, C, & D program because the government sucks at running anything.😂
NavigatorII is correct that firms from UHG, Cigna, Priority Health and others run most (if not all) of the Medicare Advantage Plans because they have the low cost infrastructure to manage those plans.
All three are current of former clients of mine and happen, in my experience, to run very ethical organizations. I cannot speak, obviously, to every clinical admission decision, but for the most part, they perform stakeholder capitalism and try to balance client experience, efficient claims processing, population health and ESG (environment, equity, etc.).
Fair response with the exception of the final statement. If one wants to be "cynical" the leaders value job security and stock and option equity grants. That comes, perhaps surprisingly, not from maximizing profits, per se, but rather from setting reasonable growth targets and meeting them consistently.
I also agree in a low cost option, regardless of how delivered. Government organizations are rarely run efficiently. A simple example is Covid-19 response. S&L governments, fearful of under-responding, ordered far more ventilators, beds, masks, etc. than needed. They were all given federal money through CARES and FEMA to make their state budgets whole.
There are "bad actors" in both organizational types. The key is how to create optimal checks and balances including having a mix of public and private organizations in industries.
The above is not meant to be a political response, but rather what I have seen in 20+ years of consulting.
Have a great Thanksgiving, 911.
And it began by highlighting that @NavigatorII was right, and you were wrong.

Ducks, dodges, and attempts to distract from the subject at hand as always, but again fails to answer the Communist Red Chinese Kung Flu questions.
So typical of him....
However, is DeSantis in charge of oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, or is it someone else?
Beijing Biden sets out oil, gas leasing reform:
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Friday recommended an overhaul of the nation’s oil and gas leasing program to limit areas available for energy development and raise costs for oil and gas companies to drill on public land and water. Recommendations include limiting areas available for energy development and raising costs for oil and gas companies to drill on public land and water.
Beijing Biden suspends oil and gas leasing in slew of executive actions on climate change.
Biden’s orders direct the secretary of the Interior Department to halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters, and begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development.
Sir, this man is my Governor I don't need MSM to tell me anything. He is a typical hack politician who will do and say anything to move up the ladder. .........jim
