Up until Trump supporting him Desantis has been an establishment GOP representative. He voted against the motion to unseat Boehner. He voted to continue the NDAA he voted to extend Patriot Act powers and he voted against Fair Tax propositions. I HATE Desantis and if I was a registered Republican would vote Putnam but oh well the GOP goes back to the swamp one more time.

Desantis has never given an imporession policy or statement that hints at racism. He's an establishment guy but he's not a racist. He has had a history of saying stuff at odd times. When he was running for the house representative he said something about immigration that caused a stir I can't remember what time was but it was stupid catch prahse that didn't make any sense.

All that said I'll 100% be voting for him over a socialist. If the Democrats ran a moderate maybe I'd vote against Desantis but they made the choice easy nominating a full blowen socialist that and I quote "wants to bring collectivism to Florida" from his accpetance speach, ha no thanks buddy!

Biggest take away I have from all this is Trump's talk of swamp draining is just campaign talk. He wouldn't have back Desantis if he had any intention of drainging a swamp. Anyone that pays attention to local politics could've told him that. Either he didn't care to research or he didn't care that Desantis is establishment.
