Top Florida Democrat makes 2022 play as DeSantis’ stock rises

13

The 2022 election for Florida Governor has national implications. The people of Florida must get behind Governor DeSantis in a big way. Florida is the envy of America, because of the pro-freedom policies of Governor DeSantis. Imagine what Florida would look like today, if it was Andrew Gillum who won in 2018. The whole state would be under lockdown. Businesses would be closed, schools would be shut down, and Floridians would be suffering. Floridians must keep Governor DeSantis in office to keep their state afloat, and so that he can take a run at the POTUS in either 2024 or 2028.

Top Florida Democrat makes 2022 play as DeSantis’ stock rises

By Politico, February 26, 2021

Story continues below advertisement

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ profile is growing, and Nikki Fried has noticed.

As DeSantis quickly becomes the national conservative media’s favorite governor and basks in recent polling that his approval rating is above 50 percent, the state’s agriculture commissioner is trying to increase her profile ahead of a likely gubernatorial run. She’s hired a top-tier Democratic consultant, is plotting high-profile attacks on DeSantis and growing her presence both on social media and national cable shows.

The jockeying as DeSantis’ star rises suggests that Fried, Florida’s only statewide elected Democrat, is trying to solidify herself as her party’s best shot at knocking off DeSantis in 2022, an election cycle that is expected to feature a crowded Democratic primary field.

Their latest line of attack is centered on the late conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.

DeSantis announced his plan to lower Florida’s flags to half-staff in tribute to the conservative radio icon who died last week and was a favorite of former President Donald Trump. But Fried fired back this week, saying she would instruct state buildings under her control to keep their flags up. Some other local elected Democrats announced their plans to do the same.

Fried kept up the pressure on Tuesday, going on CNN to blast DeSantis for using the American flag “as a political prop.”

“What he’s doing is bending over backwards to honor a radio host who spent his entire career talking hate speech and talking bigotry and division and conspiracy theories,” Fried said. “And lowering our flag should be a symbol of unity, not division.”

Fried still isn’t officially in the 2022 governor’s race, but her early moves have created a sense of inevitability about her plans to challenge DeSantis next year. Some Democrats speculate Fried will officially enter the race sometime later this year after the annual session of the Florida Legislature.

What is a nice looking girl getting into an ugly business like this? So: she is a commissioner; the end of that plank is a sheer cliff. I am sure she can swim… but not among sharks. She looks too pretty to be that stupid. But then: once upon a time, so did Liz Cheney.

She’s not a “nice” girl if she in league with the Left….
She’s not a nice girl if her funding comes from Soros and her mission is from Obama.

The same misuse of ballot fraud that almost got Gillium elected got her the Sec of Ag position over a very strong GOP candidate. If he runs again he will win without the now corrected fraud schemes that were in place 4 years ago. Gov De Sandis is sure to be the #1 candidate for President should PDJT decide not to run in 2024, with Gov Noem as VP, another solid conservative and PDJT supporter.

Tougher here with mandatory picture I.D. and the fact that we don’t use Dominion voting machines. The democRATs are at a loss without the ability to cheat. Still we need increased oversight in areas controlled by the democRAT machine in Tampa, Miami-Dade, West Palm and Broward counties.

Good point, and we must stay vigilant, particularly in counties & parts of the state where Democrats have the stronger influence over things. But Ron DeSantis’s political fortunes seem to be going good & riding high, so this possible Democrat challenge for the Governor office will likely go nowhere. Nikki Fried will be ‘fried’ in the vote contest! Assuming of course, that the next election playing field is a solidly fair & impartial one! Nationwide, there are a great many reforms which are needed.

De Santis and other stalwart, America-First Republican aspirants can win, assuming that crookedly manipulatable voting machines are not used, those brands that have proven to be a nuissance, and unreliable, such as Dominion, Smartmatic, or Sequoia, from those companies. Assuming also, that there’re firm voter-ID-showing requirements; and very limited absentee balloting, that is only allowed by advance-request, with a valid excuse from the voter, who’ll have to formally apply for the privilege, per each particular election. None of this “permanent-voting-by-mail, voter lists”, like what Democrats in Nevada are trying to get away with implementing, out here in the south-west.

Furthermore, any such absentee ballots should be distributed as certified mail, where the voter will have to sign a signature with the postal deliverer in order to receive it, at either their residence, workplace, or at a post office station. Then, both the ballot itself & the official envelope will have to have additional safeguards against any possible counterfeiting: Watermarks printed on both items, like it is with paper currency, plus matching bar-codes and serial numbers that could aid in tracing the ballot & its envelope to a particular qualified voter, if a vote audit were to be later required. Signatures CAN’T be the only safeguarding criterion that we’d be using! A seasoned forger could easily fake somebody else’s signature, in committing this election crime, of impersonating a voter, and passing off the ballot as done by that other person.

Plus, each & every polling station & vote-counting center needs to have plenty of security cameras recording all that happens on Election Day night & the very next day-night period; and teams of election observers from both parties, (with particular fairness acceded to Republican party observers this time), have to be allowed full access to observing all that is going on, at the ballot-counting floor! If some, most, or all such measures are taken by Florida state & other red or purple states, then both the 2022 & the 2024 Elections will run smoothly, and turn out fair. Certainly Governor DeSantis & his ministers in Florida did a fine & impeccable job on Election Night, November 3rd-to-4th, of 2020.

Fried is gonna get fried…
Well she’s not governor and De Santis is so its a moot point as to 1/2 mast flags for the superstar (R) Conservative Rush Limbaugh.
Her misinformed Marxist (D) opinion is totally irrelevant until if she gets to be governor…!

Hmmmm….’State buildings under ‘her’ control’? Thought that would be under the Governors control, WTF does she actually control, not being the Governor? Seems to me that she would be assuming authority she does not possess, or am i missing something here?

“Shortly after entering office in 2019, Fried’s office redesigned the Department of Agricultures certified gas-pump stickers, which verify to customers the gas pump has been approved by the state. Previous Agriculture Commissioners had put their own names on the stickers for decades, but Fried was the first to put a color photograph of herself smiling on the sticker. The decision sparked allegations by the Florida GOP, who accused Fried of using taxpayer funds to increase her political exposure. The Florida legislature quickly passed a law limiting the taxpayer-funded stickers to only “a combination of lettering, numbering, words, or the department logo.” The stickers then began to be replaced with a new design that does not have her photograph.[20][21]
