Who will Florida elect? Will it be the naked fascist they know and love, or the "not charged" sex-trafficker-of-minors they also keep electing for some reason?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Shouldn't need to point out who's who.
Whatever Gaetz does, it needs to be frames as whatever vs predator!

DeSantis can't run again so it will be a new fascist either way.
I really can’t believe that scum Gaetz still has political capital. I thought when you are accused of trafficking sexual minors it’s political suicide. Apparently not. We can do better than this but we just don’t want to.

Only if you're a democrat. If you're a republican, they ignore it and cover up for you until they can't anymore. Just ask Dennis Hastert or Gymnasium Jordan about that.
A jury of his peers decided based on evidence that Trump is a rapist - but you barely even see mention of that anywhere.
“Whoa” Gaetz is thinking. “I’m going to be able to rape a lot of children when I’m governor! “
He is like like that yellow creep from sin city
both as stern conservatives, but with Gaetz as a rebellious gadfly and Donalds as a more conventional hard-liner
"Gaetz as a rebellious gadfly"????
This is the guy who does whatever Trump wants him to do. At first blush, "rebellious" doesn't seem to be a good fit for him. I guess he's rebellious in the same way that the Confederacy was rebellious.
I guess, "piece of shit sex trafficking gadfly" didn't flow as well.
Taking almost anything conservatives do seriously will often lead to these funny moments. Their entire thing is being on the wrong side of history over and over again.
I use to have faith in people, boy did I learn a lesson.
Thanks 2016.
Why would he want to be governor... Seems like a step down
How? Florida has 1 governor and 28 house seats. Being the 1 is more prestigious than one of 28
But the governor has to spend more time in Florida.
