  I've already seen several DeSantis flags in my red state while traveling over the holidays.  They used to be trump flags.  My point is that those 35 percent really like flags.
context: Two words: independent run. He won't be silenced. You reap what you sow, and it's harvest time. >
  
  I doubt that getting convicted, jailed and barred from holding office would stop him from running.
  He's that vindictive. >
  
  Any idea if you win an election from jail what happens? Are you set free or run office from prison? >
  
  President can’t have criminal convictions. >
  
  Off topic, but question from a German redditor:
  In Texas and Florida, do they allow people to carry samurai swords or lances in the shopping mall? Or is it just ARs and shotguns? >
  
  I do believe you can carry a whole sword like some mall-ninja doofus. >
  
  I’d prefer samurai/ninja cosplay to hillbilly/redneck/trailer trash cosplay any day of the week. 
  At least samurais, ninjas and knights had a rich cultural history, unlike those uneducated people >
  
  But neither one showers... >
  
  They had the opportunity on a platter.  Twice! >
  
  They'll have a third by voting to bar him from running won't they? >
  
  If he tries to run as an independent after losing to desantis in the primaries, I wouldn’t be surprised if they finally tried to ban him. >
  
  Why can't Republicans come up with a decent human being to run for president >
  
  I think Larry Hogan is planning a run and he's actually a decent human being - one of the few I can cite. I disagreed with a lot of his fiscal policies overall, but he led the state pretty well and with compassion during the pandemic. I don't think he will do well with the national direction the GOP is going, though. >
  
  Hogan is too sane for the current rethug party. >
  
  Man, what a tricky line. They’re going to have to pretend to keep kissing Trump’s ass while doing underhanded things like supporting our legal system and fair elections. It can never work. >
  
  As always with the GOP, it’s a race to the bottom of who can out racist, out hate and out divide. >
  
  Good luck. You will never sway that 35% of kookoos.
