    I fear DeSantis will lose the race. A Republican has been in for 8 years, not good for the Republican candidate. Not to mention you have far left radicals pushing nationwide, just like we had the Tea Party in 2010. The problem is further augmented by a few factors:

    Unlike the Tea Party, the socialists have the media, social media bias, and other shills in their corner.

    Also, people born in 2000 and earlier can vote now. I guarantee a lot of those idiots (not all youth are idiots of course - I'm youth myself) will turn out in droves to fulfill their Bernie Bro fantasies.

    Also, DeSantis had the monkey gaffe. It wasn't racist, but it was poorly chosen. The media will pounce on it. The media reporting in AL last year caused enough clowns to stay home and cost Moore the race against Jones.

    In short, I don't think the blue wave is going to be much. We'll keep the Senate and a lot of governorships. Maybe make gains. But I think there's a chance FL will be lost for the governorship. On the bright side, Rick Scott could very well unseat Bill Nelson.
    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    I agree with all this, but if gillum wins he will sign zero death warrants as governor.

    Maybe someday the legislators will get together to pass a bill to make changes on who orders executions. But, they have to remove the Governor from the decision process who like Charlie Crist got cold feet in the Governor's office.

    Texas and Georgia have the best statutes by far.

    I doubt they will make that change. No one cares enough.
