Three Observations

 1.  The DeSantis 'problem'.  Once you arrive at the early 2024 primary season....he needs to win one of the first four primaries, and then hitting Super-Tuesday....win at least half the primaries.  Failing at this  (especially at Super-Tuesday)....his funding will dwindle, and the game is basically over.

I should add....if you think Disney is not going to play 'rough' over the next eight months....you would be betting on the wrong 'horse'.  A lot of the economics of Florida is based on tourism, and the 'path' laid out by the Disney empire.  If they marginalize their operations and accept a massive loss on profits....Florida goes into the crapper.  

As comical as it sounds....DeSantis is actually running against Disney economics in his state, from this point on.  

2.  Reading a piece this AM....roughly 59-percent of people regard the media (meaning mass media/social media/news media)....as the 'enemy of the people'.

Republicans?  It was around 79-percent believing it.  Democrats?  Just over 50-percent. 

The problem here....you start building up a skeptical nature.  Someone tells you something, and you ask....where did you hear that?  Then you start ranking it on being potentially true.  Just because NPR, or CBS, or AP said it was true....doesn't mean it was true.

3.  I've speculated a good bit over the general attire of Senator Fetterman.  I've come to the point of believing that he has to wear the hoodie/shorts stuff, because of monitoring stuff that the medical folks have attached.
