#3 This is what is meant by the states being "laboratories of federalism." I don't think DeSantis would have done this (and make no mistake, he's the architect here) unless his inside polling was good on it. The left is going, as Gen. Turgidson said "absolutely ape." Count on huge amounts of outside money coming into the FL election this fall. Some was coming anyway but it will be a huge flood now. Again, I don't think DeSantis would have chanced it if the numbers didn't look very good for him. The beauty thing, should he have decided correctly, is that's money sucked out of other dem races elsewhere and money that will remain in Florida either way. Assuming DeSantis wins, that's all wind at his back going forward.
If the voters toss him out, well, where do I sign up for "let it burn?" |
