    So what you are saying is government is an inefficient monstrosity full of egomaniacs out to enrich themselves rather than improve the lives of their constituents. Interesting.

    The internet. Arguably the best university system in the world. Space travel. Innumerous innovations in medicine, science, engineering, etc. Transportation safety. Food safety. Security. Property rights.

    In defense of Scott, he used to live in Texas and I believe went to school at SMU so supporting the Rangers makes sense. Accordingly, Ive always thought of him as a carpetbagger in Florida politics.

    Ironic. I had a chance encounter with Scott in Tampa when he was governor. I was at Tampa port observing an inventory or rebar or something. He did a visit there, and they had us all line up to meet him. He got to me, he said “where you from “I said “Fl but I live in Texas now” . Him: “why did you move”. Me: “For a job”. That’s about it.

    I had no idea he was from TX. I should have said “same reason you did”.

    I leave this here. Make of it what you will on how Rob’s current trajectory is seen by the other candidate for the party of small government.

    A new scandal. Like Trump DeSatan lies about his height. Trump just lies and doesn’t care about the absurdity when he stands next to people of whatever height he’s claiming (6’1” to 6’3”) but it can be conclusively stated that DeSatan (admittedly tall for a dwarf) is not 5’11-6’0”

    Ron DeSantis scores Iowa governor's endorsement in Republican primary race | Reuters

    Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds on Monday endorsed Republican presidential contender Ron DeSantis' bid to be the party's nominee, a much-needed boost to the Florida governor as he seeks to shrink former President Donald Trump's big lead in the polls.

    "Ron is focused, he is principled, he is results driven," Reynolds told a crowd of cheering supporters at a rally in Des Moines where DeSantis also took the stage.

    "And in short, what I love most about Ron is he gets things done."

    The endorsement is unlikely to change the fundamental dynamics of the Iowa race, which Trump currently dominates. But the DeSantis campaign has been pursuing Reynolds' nod for months, according to several people close to the campaign, and endorsements from popular political leaders often move the needle by a few percentage points.
