From the news reports last night’s debates DeSantis got kicked in the… by Nikki Haley. The Miami Herald said,
Hey! But they have the most draconian laws in the nation and with more on the way. Doesn’t that count for something?
On the debate stage Wednesday night, Ron DeSantis was forced to defend the “Florida Blueprint” he has touted so much in the Republican presidential primary. It is the dirty little — and worst kept — secret in South Florida in the last couple of years that behind DeSantis’ rhetoric about the state being an economic force and attracting people from blue states, we have become one of the most expensive places to live in the country, thanks partly to out-of-control property insurance premiums. Donald Trump, the frontrunner who did not attend the Republican debate, has criticized the governor on this issue but not as effectively as Nikki Haley did on Wednesday.

DeSantis certainly landed punches. But his record in Florida has gone largely unchecked on the campaign trail. As Haley pointed out, the land of snowbirds is becoming out of reach for many seniors. At 9%, the inflation rate in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area was the highest among large metro areas in the nation in April. As DeSantis discussed the Sunshine State, Haley trolled him by slipping in a “highest insurance” comment.
We get it. The pandemic made DeSantis. Without his fight against Dr. Anthony Fauci, his reopening of Florida and “beating the left,” there would probably not be a Ron DeSantis for president. But Florida is not the conservative wonderland he’s portrayed it to be and Haley was smart to point that out. Now it is up to Iowans to decide whose narrative they believe.
And Chris Christie dropped out of the Clown Car primary race.
I want Trump to win the primaries because I am worried that too many people will vote for Haley because she is not Biden not because she would make a good president. Her views on abortion and us are right inline with the MAGA Republicans.
