    No. Not at all. With his gerrymandering, voter suppression via his new laws and refusal to let liberal hurricane victims vote, not to mention his refusal to let the feds look in on voting in liberal areas, it's no wonder there are no Democrat politicians left in office in Florida. I guess that's how you do it.

    If true, why didn't Crist see through all that and campaign accordingly? This ain't Crist's first rodeo. 20% is a HUGE margin!

    Black voters turnout was abysmal in Florida. The election police stunt worked.

    Funny how politics has become like sports ... the losers always have excuses for why they didn't win ... that's a fact whether you vote red or blue.

    "Election was rigged" is the political equivalent to "Refs screwed us".

    We need to lift the embargo on Cuba. Florida is a lost cause

    In 2024 go hard in NC, AZ, Georgia and Texas. I wouldn’t bother with Florida or Ohio

    Tell me you don't know how gerrymandering works without telling me you don't know how gerrymandering works.

    Prove to me that gerrymandering was a key in Crist's loss and I'll answer your question. Go.

    DeSantis would have won Florida regardless. I'm not making excuses. But, DeSantis gerrymanderred the shit out of Florida this year. Like bigly.

    For the love of God can neither of them run? And keep Harris and DeSantis off the ticket as well ... can there be one qualified person out there that isn't a blubbering idiot or douchebag that wants to be Commander in Chief?

    I'm assuming when you speak of gerrymandering you're talking about the redistricting efforts?

    It's DeSantis' party now. Trump was finally put out to pasture. Now let's just hope he is the last one to realize so him and DeSantis can tear each other apart.

    I agree DeSantis was going to win one way or the other. But, he gerrymandered the hell out of Florida to take away voting power from black voters as well as suppressed votes with his racist voter police and his refusal to let liberal hurricane victims have the same ability to vote as Republican counterparts.

    Again, DeSantis would have still won, but by less and more importantly there would still be Democrat representation in Florida.

    DeSantis claims that the maps in question were illegally drawn in the first place, but we shall see,
