New Hampshire 2024: DeSantis Fades, Trump Maintains Lead in Primary
August 15th, 2023

Forty-nine percent (49%) of Republican Primary voters in New Hampshire plan to support former President Donald Trump for the 2024 nomination, a 40-point advantage over all other candidates, similar to his 41-point lead in March. As the field of candidates has come more into focus since March, Florida Governor DeSantis no longer holds second place with double digits, instead has fallen to 8%.

Ronnie may have to become the new mittens / mclame:

Exclusive: DeSantis' biggest donor warns he may stop funding campaign
August 5, 2023 7:13 AM EDT

Hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, the biggest individual donor to a group supporting Ron DeSantis' presidential bid, told Reuters on Friday he will not donate more money unless the Florida governor attracts new major donors and adopts a more moderate approach.

The comments by Bigelow, who gave $20 million to the pro-DeSantis "Never Back Down" super PAC in March, underscore donor concerns about the Florida governor's struggling campaign, which has been unable to make a dent in former President Donald Trump's huge lead for the 2024 Republican nomination.


Maybe 3rd place is the new winning:

Ron DeSantis slips to third place in national GOP primary poll
Aug 14, 2023

*Gov. Ron DeSantis trails Vivek Ramaswamy in a recent nationwide Republican primary poll by Kaplan Strategies, marking his first time outside the usual second-place slot.

*Donald Trump maintains a commanding lead with 48 percent support; Ramaswamy secures second place with 11 percent, surpassing DeSantis at 10 percent.

*DeSantis’ shift is attributed to MAGA support loss to Ramaswamy and a competitive dynamic with Pence for mainstream conservative endorsement, accompanied by campaign strategy changes and staff shifts.

Desantis would make a good VP for now, but we don't want him leaving FL just yet, either.

Can't wait until DeSantis is sworn in as POTUS in January 2025.

Hopefully he appoints you as Sec of BS, so that you can spend less time in here.

I hope you're having a great Thursday.

Also, kiss my ass.

It is far more important in the long run that he stay in Florida, and not go to DC. His place is creating distraction to stir up the commies until then.

DeSantis needs to do his job and manage the state of Florida as he was elected to do.
Priority #1 is the insurance catastrophe that is plaguing the residents and property owners.

If you ant to manage that, then charge the developers and realtors that build in areas no person with half a brain would see as ft to build on.

In the 60's my Grandfather and I were in Miami and he pointed at a fancy, new highrise right on the beach where dunes used to be. His exact words were, "What kind of moron builds a building like THAT on a sand dune where you get full force hurricane winds?". It's only gotten worse since then.

A lot, lot worse since then:

Does any of this matter? Who cares about what the polls say?

1) Will Trump be in prison next year? (or this year?)

2) Will blue states keep him off their ballot -- by hook or by crook?

3) Will a plea deal be offered, and will Trump take it? Something like: "We'll drop all charges if you don't run."

With all of these unknowns, polls or popularity don't mean squat.

Developers pay dearly in the form of impact fees specifically for infrastructure and regulatory reasons.

The state literally survives on transfer taxes on real estate.
Every time a property changes hands the state collects .007 on the transfer. This amounts to billions annually.

The problem is insurance company lobbyists who are screwing the state’s property owners while lining their own pockets.

1st thing I do if in charge is tell the insurance companies that if they won’t write homeowners policies they can’t write auto-boat-motorcycle policies.
No gravy if they don’t provide some meat & potatoes.

Government should not be underwriting these policies, shifting the risk from the insurance companies and putting it on the backs of the taxpayers.

If insurance companies had to shoulder the risk the premiums would be way higher, discouraging a lot of the building in these areas.

Premiums in high risk areas are high.

Then they would be higher.

Correct, they are higher.

Next disaster, watch FEMA go through and write big checks to those without the requisite insurance.
