    ........and his lanky leg structure to continue to seat himself in the midst of a conversation. LBJ had spoke to reporters with the bathroom door open whilst he gave his "output" to matters of the State .

    Trump won't run again. He is to afraid of losing again. His ego can't take it

    My Niece is a hard-core liberal. Yet, when we were on a recent family vacation with them in Florida. She flabbergasted my wife and me when she smiled, and boldly uttered....."I'm voting for DeSantis". The guy is really growing her. Perhaps, it stems from his fiscal record, and/or handling of the pandemic. Not sure, we didn't delve into it (I'm sure we will, though). She may come off that stance as she's a committed Democrat. Nonetheless, it was an eye-opener.

    DeSantis isn't up till 2022. She's already made up her mind, without waiting to see who else runs? Interesting.

    So, basically your whole family is as batshit crazy as you?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    She sure sounds like a classic "hard-core liberal." They're well-known for their focus on cutting taxes so that they can cut spending on social programs.

    Yeah, sounds like it...

    Two priorities DeSantis announced Thursday would require the consent of lawmakers to become reality.

    One would create a “Resilient Florida” program that would provide $1 billion over four years to award grants to state and local governments for projects that address the effects of climate change: sea level rise, intensified storms and localized flooding.

    The other initiative would spend $43.5 million to create a program to provide financial awards of $100 for students at schools with a large number of low-income students, otherwise known as Title I schools. The awards would be based on their performance, with a focus on literacy programs at those schools.

    Although House and Senate legislative leaders have warned of the potential cuts to education spending, DeSantis wants an overall increase of the state’s K-12 system. He proposed $22.8 billion in the upcoming fiscal year, a $290 million increase over last year.

    DeSantis’ wish list includes another $10 million for mental health services at schools and teacher salaries and proposed a $233 per-student increase in state and local funding that’s distributed based on enrollment.

    They really have to take climate change and sea level rise seriously there. Parts of the keys are already underwater.

    If that came off as a serious insult, I apologize. It was intended as teasing, but I guess it sounds pretty harsh.

    No, the context of the conversation was 2024. She's anyone but Trump, and doesn't care for Biden......if he makes it that far. I'm unsure of her impressions of Harris. The "I'm voting for DeSantis" remark was probably tongue-in-cheek, but ya never know. As mentioned, I'm sure we'll have plenty more discussions on the subject.
