I agree Greger. It all boils down to winning elections. Florida independents are saying they’ll vote for DeSantis over Crist 51-39 and for DeSantis over Fried 51-35.

Florida has a PVI of R+3, Republicans slightly out number Democrats down there. Still, Florida is a very close state in terms of numbers for each major party. One can say the two major parties cancel each other out depending on turnout, independents determine who wins.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
