The Facts About Florida Under Ron DeSantis
The economy, healthcare, and education in the Sunshine State are not very sunny
I’m taking a small timeout from punditry, mockery, and the ongoing competition for the best nickname (“Darth Santis” is the best I have heard so far, by the way). I am taking a timeout from personal attacks upon the man. I am even taking a timeout from the whole woke brouhaha.
This piece is an informative article for anyone pondering whether or not Gov. DeSantis would be a good — or even simply tolerably okay — President of the United States. I know there are more than a few people murmuring to themselves, “Well, at least he is better than Trump.” That is a low bar. That is also an improper basis for evaluating anybody. A turtle or a racoon would be better than Trump; that doesn’t mean one should back a turtle or a racoon.
Oh, sorry, I said I was taking a timeout from punditry and mockery. My bad. Back to the point.
Just the facts, folks. If you are tired of nastiness and meanness, as well as evaluations based upon who has the “better personality,” I am too, actually.
So, I am traveling back in time to the days when a political debate was exactly that, an honest debate, concerned mostly with facts and figures.
