@hhlurker what?  What are you talking about?  He’s a Bible thumper anti abortion anti gay maga.  He’s a hardcore right winger. And a massive step down from DeSantis. 

are you just bleating out uninformed opinions?

Pretty much anyone was going to be a step down from DeSantis. Donalds is for limited government and as long as he maintains that approach he will be fine

I thought DEI was about unqualified people being appointed and other people having to deal with the resulting mess, not unqualified people being elected and other people having to deal with the resulting mess.

That republicans can find anyone that is a step down from desantis is amazing.  Even a bum would have been a step up.

do you even know what DEI stands for?

He's black so according to the bigot republicans, that must mean it is a DEI hire because obviously a minority couldn't be chosen based on merit.

if that’s what DEI hires are, then just about every member of the president’s cabinet fits the bill.

based on what?  be specific.  desantis has been an excellent governor.  fiscally etc.  he has real problems unique to the state with rising insurance costs but has done what is within his power to make the state still appealing to carriers with comprehensive tort reform from pure to modified comparative, bad faith reforms, and shortening the sol.  things i'm not a fan of but you have to make some sacrifices i guess. he's also created an extremely business friendly environment, attracting financial firms from nyc and calif.

so what is it specifically you don't like?
