				 | Or that people move to Florida for a reason other than politics and have been for years.  I wonder if he's surprised when he hears there are more people golfing in Florida then in say New England.  Florida is benefiting from the same thing that it's always benefited from i.e. retirees  moving to a warmer climate.   The difference is now that with the baby boomers reaching retirement age there are more people retiring.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Why do you suppose that is?
 
I’ll wait.

 |  i never said he’s the only reason.  but liberals love to say it’s all about weather, which is ridiculous because CA has nice weather and folks aren’t flocking there.
 
Paul if it’s all about warmth, why aren’t people 
flocking to southern CA?
 
That’s what happens when you regurgitate an idiotic argument without giving it any thought whatsoever. |

 |  You just said 850 are moving there bc FL is his guinea pig and people are thrilled with the results. So you're saying it is bc of his policies, but when it was pointed out people have always moved there and move there for other reasons you backtrack.
 
And I'm regurgitating an idiotic arguement   
You're toxic. |

If the risk he took was a disaster, i’d be the first one attacking him for gambling with his citizens lives. But the fact is, he wasn’t wrong, the liberals were wrong. Desantis absolutely clobbered them with his handling of covid, how much sooner he opened up businesses, how much sooner he put kids back in schools.  he also wasn’t constantly caught violating the rules he demanded everyone else live by. Gavin Newsom can’t say the same thing. |
