I almost feel sorry for Trump supporters since they are in for a long dry spell since this imbecile will not only lose in November but also cause the Republicans to lose control of the Senate. I also predict that many of Trump's biggest supporters in the Senate, House and in gubernatorial positions will try to distance themselves from Trump after he loses in November. DeSantis is at the top of this list of cowards.

I'll take special exception to this one.  6 months, a year maybe, we are going to look back on the real damage this virus and lockdown policy did to the economic infrastructure of this country.  States like NY, NJ, MI, CA, CONN, MASS etc. are all going to have recoveries that will take years with the carnage that took place with small businesses, disrupted supply chains, etc.  Florida is going to be largely exempt from that.  And that's in the face of inordinate political pressure to force everyone in the state @ gunpoint to hide under their beds.  Don't EVER call Ron Desantis a coward.  You can disagree with his policies, you can say a lot of things about him, but coward aint one of em.

Any Republican who was a politician before 2015 and sings along with Trump's greatest hits like "Russia hoax" and "build the wall" is a coward.  As Stuart Stevens said, courage is when you keep walking out of the boat and onto the beach, even though the guy in front of you just got shot. Cowardice is when you fail to do the right thing, in the name of preserving your life or your career.  This doesn't feel good for me to say. Honestly, I voted for Rubio and I voted for DeSantis. But they're both cowards. I won't deny it.
