  1. Gop only voters aka party over country clowns might like DeSantis over Trump but will not vote for him because they are cult followers that are loyal to the leader.

  2. Pro-choice pro-democracy, I'm definitely voting straight-ticket Democrat in 2024, four more years. ⚔

  3. Like it hasn't been talked about enough, I hope they pull Kaitlin Collins on so she can clear the air more. Todd is the best.

  4. Donald Trump is going to go straight for Ron Desantis jugular DT45 doesn’t mess around it’s going to get dirty and personal real quick.

  5. De Santis running for President of the KKK ?

  6. De Santis should just put in his white hood and pointed white hat .. who is he trying to fool ,

  7. Oh. DeSantis has plenty of baggage. Look at those crazy racist laws he has created

  8. Thank you Kimberly.

  9. 🌟🌟Trump/ Carlson or Scott 2024 🌟🌟

  10. Yeah but even though I don’t like trump Ronny doesn’t have the trump
    Swag at all

  11. The immigrant issues is not on the top of the list for borders..immigrants has akways been a problem and neither party is better than the other. BIDENS POLL NUMBERS ARE NOT A HINDERNESS FOR BIDEN..BIDEN IS DOING HIS JOB…THE REPUBLICANS ARE BLAMING AND HINDERING. THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE..THE PEOPLE IS CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE ECONOMY AFFECT THEM. HIGH RENT. FOOD..AND MAKING ENOUFH MONEY TO LIVE FREE OF WORRY. THE NEWS PEOPLE MAKES GOOD MONEY.THE ONLY REPORT ON HEADLINES..THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE ISSUES..THEY ARE TALKING POLITICS FOR THEY DONT KNOW THAT WE DONT CARE ABOUT THE POLITICS. WE CARE ABOUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE OUR LIFE BETTER.

  12. Donald Trump is baggage.

  13. The country will never elect anyone from Florida as President. A Florida Man for President is a election meme from the get go.

  14. DeSantis is a man with Trump’s baggage and none of the White Trash charm.

  15. Both parties are disgusting to me. They fight constantly trying to back stab at every turn. If it's trump or biden in 2024 i will not vote for either one of them.

  16. The female person to did the town hall with Trump should be fired and emitted into a mental health institution

  17. He’s worse thanTrump. He is responsible for the deaths of thousands during Covid all for his selfish political stunt. He is ruining the economy of the state of Florida without regard to how Floridians will suffer as a result all for his selfish political stunt. He is an evil, full of hate megalomaniac.

  18. That’s not a bad thing, especially since Biden ended up implementing a lot of Trumps propositions. What has Biden done? Made a mess if this country and covered up his crimes and abuse of office.

  19. Hey America, this is a serious question because our country is so terribly divided, why don't we change the name of our political parties to Hatfield's (Formerly republican) and McCoy's (formerly democrat), and Others (formerly independent)? Our country is going downhill fast so we might as well divide it into factions because its coming anyway. Just a serious thought.

  20. I like presidential candidates that are pro business, education and women's healthcare. Clearly DeSantis strikes out on all three.

  21. Democrats and Republicans behave like they care actually they all want this migrants as slaves "modernized slavery". They release migrants to the streets without documentation and given court dates in 2030 so that this migrants would be working under table below the minimum wage while corporations benefit. A documented American at times is unable to pay their bills what more of a migrant working under table below minimum wage?
    Why not give the migrants documents immediately before releasing them if y'all care . The Democratic Party is even worst for claiming they care about this people which they don't actually they care more about the cheap labor. Slavery was never abolished it was just modernized.

  22. HE IS DONALD TRUMP…HES MAGA and AMERICANS will never put Maga back in the White House …ever again!!!

  23. Good ☔ Rain Ent LLC.

  24. Ron has done all of things he criticizes Trump for only in a slightly different way. The real question is does the rest of America want a Florida style country? Doubt it.

  25. BS Democrats want Biden to win.

  26. ther was 6000 pepole show up not 60000 wow is your guess only for the smoke and mirrows party .the gop did nothing when t rump was in office and ther got the same hand book today. the game playing is going to hurt ther chances for many years now. what is going on inside you panels head and you.ther alot of t rump smoke or are they just like looking at them self in the mirrow. sound and image bit very inafactive and we the pepole pay them money for ther job to work for all of us . if they worked for me i would have frist sent them for some taining and show them that lieing come back to get them and 3/4 of them i would never vote for a gain and the pepole are going to move this group on sick of the lies and corupsion we the pepoles of the USA

  27. Many commentators seem to think that the greatest challenge to our democracy will occur around the 2024 elections. Not so! Trump is facing three serious criminal indictments each involving serious jail time. Trump will not risk any jail time and is desperately planning a bloody insurrection to disrupt the very first criminal indictment.

  28. The best comment I heard about DeSantis was when he was in England the finance people thought he was strange and had no personality. If British finance people find you strange and without personality you will have more than a few problems connecting with voters.

  29. Benedict Donald and Red Skull DeSantis.
    EITHER of them such "promising" candidates for the US President's office.
    HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!
    😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

  30. DeSantis will be President in 2024!

  31. the Dem and Rep are too powerful. We need a third party else this kind of thing will happen again and again.

  32. Republican voters don't want a Donald Trump tribute band when they can get the real thing.

  33. DeSantis is a horrific, disgusting man and yes, I live in Florida.

  34. DeSantis expects support when he goes after Disney like he has?

  35. Hey Floridians, if Meatball Ron let's Disney leave, then runs for president, he will leave Florida… in an economic mess. You think he cares about you?
