Many Republicans are still scratching their heads over the disappointing outcome of the 2022 midterm elections. If you were to line these Republicans up and ask why candidates fell short you’d get a lot of different answers.
The answer probably isn’t actually as complicated as many believe it is. In fact, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has some insight into why the GOP fell short, and if anyone knows what works and what doesn’t, it’s the guy whose state is now the ultimate GOP stronghold.
During a press conference on Thursday, DeSantis got onto the subject of the GOP’s weak showing during the elections and laid down some wisdom. According to him, the issue was that too many Republicans weren’t willing to take on tough fights that would have excited and energized the base.
The governor of Florida noted that midterms typically see a pendulum swing away from whichever party is in the White House. This didn’t happen at the rate the GOP thought it would, but it did in Florida, and DeSantis explained why:
“So, I don’t think it’s a question of necessarily being divided as a party, I think it’s like, okay, how do you run and win majorities, and I think what we’ve done in Florida is we’ve shown that we’ve exercised leadership, we’ve not kowtowed, we’ve been willing to take on big interests … producing results, and that ends up attracting more people to want to be on your team — and so that was not something that was happening throughout the rest of the country. But I think that we really showed, I think, how it’s done in the state of Florida, and if you look about how we performed, no governor, Republican, has ever gotten a higher percentage of the vote in Florida history than we got in 2022.”
Because of Democrat Cheating like 2020 !!!

Seeing the Republican party in action is like watching Sunday afternoon golf on a B&W TV.
Because we no longer have free and fair elections.
Rest of the world knows this as well!
