   Trump vs Ron DeSantis - Round 1

   It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to attack the latest threat to his 2024 presidential campaign. Within hours of Ron DeSantis’ record-breaking re-election in Florida, Trump was downplaying the feat and taking as much credit as possible for the win. While DeSantis was soaking in the warmth of the national media spotlight, Trump was the target of criticism of conservatives across the board. The vast majority of candidates who Trump endorsed were already on pace to win their elec...

   Ron DeSantis, Not Trump, Offers the Best Path to the Future Republican Party

   While Georgia and other key Senate states finish tallying their votes, Florida has been decided since the first hour after polls closed on Election Night. Nobody can deny that Trump's reign as kingmaker of the Republican Party has come to a grinding halt. What should have been a red wave dissolved into steady seas, and the GOP failed to capitalize on a weakened Democratic Party, thanks to terrible candidates whom Trump endorsed in Republican primaries, who never had broad appeal beyond the ex...

   Predictions on the 2022 Midterm in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina

   There has been a lot of talk about a red wave but I think there will be at least one swing state where democrats may fend off feisty challengers. In Florida, I think Marco Rubio will benefit from Ron DeSantis popularity. A rising tide lifts all boats, and I predict that DeSantis will come close to a double-digit win over hapless Charlie Crist, with Rubio performing a few percentage points lower, beating Val Demings by a margin between four to six percent. In Georgia, Brian Kemp, another popul...

   Charlie Crist vs. Ron DeSantis Debate Review and Analysis

   Current Florida Governor Ron DeSantis debated Charlie Crist last night and we all learned that Crist's hypocrisy knows no bounds. Crist tried to pin down DeSantis on a pledge against running for President in 2024, and implied that DeSantis' ambition for higher office impedes his ability to give Florida full attention. Crist's hypocrisy and his desperation undoubtedly gave him extra incentive and the audacity to make such a claim. In case you forgot, less than 2 and a hal...

   October Surprises at Vanderbilt and the University of Florida

   Election polls are always interesting, but the fact that two universities in power five conferences are opening their doors to conservative thought may prove to be a leading indicator that Democrats greatly overestimated their momentum leading into the 2022 midterms. Last week, the University of Florida disclosed that Republican Senator Ben Sasse was the sole finalist to become the school's next president, and Vanderbilt yielded to Republican state legislators in Tennessee by pausing its gen...
