    Gary Legum Retweeted The Recount

    I've heard DeSantis-watchers say he can appeal to a wide range across the GOP, but every time I see him he comes off as an unpleasant, belligerent bully spewing talking points not understood outside the Fox Cinematic Universe.https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1388100540857466881 …

    Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) calls the idea of systemic racism "a bunch of horse manure.” “Give me a break … It’s a very harmful ideology, and I would say really a race-based version of a Marxist-type ideology.” pic.twitter.com/xcTuLmZtoE

        "Across the GOP" was probably the wrong phrase. The claim is he'll appeal to even those marginal swing voters who sometimes go back and forth. To me he's just Tom Cotton with less neck.

        The next time Fox News is flogging some "Christians are being persecuted!" story, surely he will stick with his deeply held conviction that "we need to treat people as individuals, not as members of groups"

        So...just like the last guy.

        But people got tired of the last guy, whose support never climbed out of the mid-40s and who lost the popular vote in both elections. The argument for DeSantis is that he can do better than that.

        Republicans are banking on being able to win by exciting the base, suppressing urban voters, and winning just enough states to hit 270 EC votes. They don’t have to appeal to the majority of the population m. They just need 270 EC votes.
