Nope, what YOU’RE missing is that this was a home run ONLY with the people
already in his far right corner, but a GIDP (ground-into-double-play) with what I used to call the “middle third”of the electorate. Increased polarization might have reduced the middle third to the middle sixth, but:
You can’t win a purple or purple-ish state without it.
I am not kidding when I say he might not be re-elected governor. He was coasting, but then the Supreme Court decided Dobbs, and then he pulled this stunt, which only endeared him to the people he already had locked up, and jeopardized further the people who hadn’t yet decided but were leaning away from him after Dobbs.
It wasn’t good retail politics. I know it turns you guys on, but it takes more than you guys to win FL.
