Gerrymander-ed Florida. Another example of Republicans looking out for their own first, ignoring the 'others'.

The inequitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines is becoming a public relations challenge for the governor.

All the governor has to do is get far right media to publish some headlines (because the far right rarely read what's written below them) saying 'fake news'/'cancel culture'/'hoax'/'rigged'/'Obama'/'AOC' and his fellow Florida-males and Florida-women will believe him.

Both parties do this.

All the governor has to do is get far right media to publish some headlines.

But CNN, the NYT and the other far left Conservative hating media machines are in the right on this issue? Come on now. Leave the partisan politics aside. Liberals and Dems are upset because people can’t move to Florida fast enough, they’re allowed to work, they’re allowed to leave the mask at home, they’re allowed to live their life without all the government big brother over your back intrusion and the good part in all of this, they can’t stop him, no wonder DeSantis is becoming a rock star in the GOP. Trump’s protégé did well.

Stop assuming. You don’t know what an entire class of humans is upset for.

The article is about favoring wealthy people for early vaccination. Are you in favor of that? Can you engage with that issue without resorting to “whataboutisms”, straw men, or irrelevant topics?

DeSantis is a Trump Lite swamp rat.

I thought you were solidly against wealthy rock stars and hypocrites?

Are you in favour of the elite being first in line or are you against it?

Stop assuming.

I don’t assume anything, numbers don’t lie.

The article is about favoring wealthy people for early vaccination.

That myth again?

I thought you were solidly against wealthy rock stars and hypocrites?

DeSantis is in a band?

Are you in favour of the elite being first in line or are you against it?

I’m in favor of everyone getting the vaccine if they need or want it regardless of race, class or status.

Except when they don't support your theories and political beliefs.

DeSantis is in a band?

According to your post, he's becoming a rock star. Are you a bit confused this morning?

I’m in favor of everyone getting the vaccine if they need or want it regardless of race, class or status.

So, if the rich want it first, you're in favour of preferential treatment.

That goes both ways.

According to your post, he's becoming a rock star.

No, he is in his State, but on the GOP national stage, he is becoming a star, just not a rock star.

So, if the rich want it first, you're in favour of preferential treatment.

You need to calm down, that is not what I said.

It ain’t a myth:  amid revelations that seniors in a wealthy enclave in Key Largo received hundreds of life-saving vaccinations as early as mid -January

According to and reported by.....

He must be a Republican.

All the Democrat governors are doing it too, but they get a pass; after all, they're Democrats.

Do you think rich people should receive the vaccine first?

I already answered, but for the record: I’m in favor of everyone getting the vaccine if they need or want it regardless of race, class or status.

There you go.

Reputable news sources AP?

For the left, I guess so.

The thing is, the left is trying now to gun for DeSantis, good luck on that one and they’re not going to be successful in trying to topple a guy who is one of the most popular governors in the state of Florida.

Are you under the impression that Florida has more than one governor?

Not as popular as this one, especially with the GOP.

Jeb Bush had better approval ratings.

GOP voters are less than half of the US. As the recent election proved.

Jeb Bush had better approval ratings. 

Not at all when it came to school choice and also Jeb didn’t have to deal with COVID, the country We’re still relatively normal and people were still happy in the blue states in moving to Florida or Texas or Tennessee as they are doing now in massive numbers, we live in different times....

Uh-huh, lol.

None of this is relevant. Jeb Bush had higher approval ratings than DeSantis.

Uh-huh, lol.

Yes. The GOP are the minority in the US.

This is not an answer to this question:

No, I was very clear on that.

If you had actually read the article,

Not if, I did, that was not the original source, the Herald got the information later

None of this is relevant. Jeb Bush had higher approval ratings than DeSantis.

again, Jeb did not have to deal with a pandemic and by the way, give DeSantis one or two more terms and then he’ll probably surpass Jeb.

You can believe that, I’m not buying that crap for a second.

All you need to do is look at the numbers. there are more registered Democratic members than registered Republicans, and the GOP lost the Presidential election by 8 million votes. Eight million. That's no suprise, though. Even you said Trump was creepy, repugnant, pathetic and bad.
