Why Did DeSantis Fly To Israel

Uh, "to get to the other side?"

Jokes aside, the only reason politicians do anything is to get votes. Obviously, DeSantis is going where he is going and doing what he is doing because he feels it will help him in his bid for president. A better question is, why does DeSantis believe solidarity with Israel (as compared to solidarity with France, Germany, Brazil, etc) will aid his bid for president?

I have NO idea. I know that it can not hurt. I do know this fact. The Tampa Bay Times estimates there are roughly 630,000 Jewish Floridians.

IN 2022 governor election, Desantis carried 60% of the vote and in heavy, heavy Democratic Dade county (Miami) he won by 11%.
 
I will only add that people… people like to argue amongst themselves, and the party that can best hold itself together and work together for a common goal will win the election.

Although it’s now the fashion to blame others for our own follies, the losers will have no one to blame but themselves.
USA is 40 % Republicans.......40% Democrats and 20 % independents. It is that 20% that elects a President.
 
DeSantis seems like a decent guy. I appreciate that he fights for the average Floridian and does not worry about how he's perceived in the mainstream media. This next election is gonna be a mess. I fully expect there to be rioting before and possibly after November 3rd. Unfortunately we are no longer a country mature enough to handle democracy. We are now, for better or worse, just another banana republic.

As I said........He is Mr. Trump without the bluster, big mouth and texting fingers.

If anyone has been here for anytime at all, you have read my opinions and that is LIBERALSIM is destroying the church and AMERICA!

Now may I say to you that there does not seem to be a week go by without Gov. Ron DeSantis proposing or signing a bill into law that aggravates and stops progressives, worries civil rights leaders, frustrates the LBGTQRDJB+ and penalizes politically correct corporations.

Praise the Lord!!!!

He has been at the forefront of attacking “wokeness” and critical race theory, signing a new law that bans businesses and schools from teaching about White privilege.

His administration also recently rejected textbooks from publishers, claiming some included elements of critical race theory and emotional and social learning as well as teaching elementary students homosexuality.

He signed into a law that in Florida, men who pretend to be women can not compete in sports against actual women.

This year he championed a bill that goes after Big Tech companies for supposedly censoring Trump and other conservative voices, and allows Floridians who feel they are wronged by social media companies a path to sue for retribution. Who else can YOU name who has done anything at all????

In response to the killing of George Floyd, while other states reviewed policing policies, DeSantis called for and signed a so-called anti-riot bill.

Now THINK! We all sit around picking out this and pointing out that, but here is a man who is actually DOING SOMETHING FOR THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA to save America.
 
I agree 100%! Those of us who live here and see what he has done have just about all said exactly the same thing.

Then as for WHY he wanted water from Israel is simple.

"Well, when you walk here in Israel, that vantage point changes because we’re talking about thousands of years, all the way back to the beginning of recorded history. History that the vast majority of Americans have familiarity with.

I can tell your story about my wife and I, actually it was her second trip with me to Israel. I was a US congressman at the time.

We did not yet have kids, and so one of the things that Casey (Wife) did when we were visiting the Sea of Galilee was to take up empty bottle of water and fill it up with water from the Sea of Galilee, so that when we did have kids, we would use that water from here in Israel to baptize our kids."

Not all who live in Florida are fans of DeSantis or Trump. I would be included in that.

That is all that I will say and hope that everyone will respect that I will not expand on my comment.

Absolutly. No one should challange anyone in who they vote for. Heck, I even voted for Jimmy Carter once!

Personally, I can not vote for Trump again. I have seen too much and heard too much.
