Will Florida alone give GOP the House majority?

According to The Hill's reporting, Democrats have reason to worry about Florida in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections. According to the article, "In 2008, when former President Obama carried Florida by about 200,000 votes, there were nearly 700,000 more registered Democrats in the state than Republicans." Those were the good old day for Democrats. Those days are ancient history today:
The latest voter registration numbers out of Florida show Democrats’ long-held voter registration advantage over Republicans shrinking to less than 24,000, down from about 100,000 at the beginning of the year.
Dropping from a 700,000 registration advantage to less than 24,000 in a decade is dramatic and then some. Leadership matters. Ron DeSantis is the top Republican presidential candidate not named Donald Trump. Before him, Rick Scott did a solid job running the state. Throw in Marco Rubio, Michael Walz, Byron Donalds and you've got a formidable political party. This paragraph is laughable:
Democrats are hoping to take out both DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio (R) next year, as well as regain two key South Florida House seats that Republicans flipped in November.
Right. And I hope to win tonight's Powerball drawing. Charlie 'Flip-Flop' Crist is challenging Gov. DeSantis and Val Demings, one of Adam Schiff's impeachment managers is challenging Sen. Rubio. DeSantis has handled COVID beautifully while getting the better of the public back-and-forths with Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, Sen. Rubio showed strong leadership and a detailed grasp of the issues during the Cuban uprising. Rubio's outreach to the various Hispanic communities has been strong, which gives him a strong base to start his campaign from.

Steve Schale, a longtime Florida Democratic strategist, warned in a blog post on Friday that, without a serious course correction, the party is at risk of falling behind Republicans by the end of 2021.

"Without a full-frontal, professional and accountable partisan effort to turn it around, sometime before the end of this year, there will be more Republicans registered in Florida than Democrats — that has NEVER happened before," Schale wrote. "And, given their voters have higher turnout scores — this isn’t a great place to start."

People are turning away from the Democrat Party because too many of them either don't believe in accountability, hate law enforcement or they're anti-Semitic. There's always been a fringe element in both parties. The face of today's Democrats is either socialists Bernie Sanders and AOC, San Francisco leftist elitist Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden, who has difficulty 2 straight coherent sentences together.

There are tons of other socialists in the Democratic Party. They're just part of the supporting cast. They just aren't the high-profile face of the Party. If Democrats don't return to being Bill Clinton/Third Way/ DLC Democrats, they'll spend years wandering through this political desert.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
