About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Counterpoint: Rudy Giuliani in 2008. Still seen as “America’s Mayor,” broadly considered to have general election appeal, led primary polls for almost all of 2007, highest fundraising etc. He was legitimately seen as the front runner.
His campaign decided to ignore early voting states and focus on Florida and other more populous states to amass delegates. The result: a complete and total collapse of his campaign. As it turns out, every legitimate candidate focuses on early voting states for a reason.
What about Jeb Bush? At least Giuliani lost the nomination to a worthy opponent... (DeSantis is merely discovering that no one is better at being Trump than Trump is.)
