Even Republicans hate DeSantis' proposal to put golf courses in state parks. 'DeSantis has enjoyed rock solid support from the Republicans who dominate state politics. It has been rare for DeSantis to get pushback on anything from GOP lawmakers, and he has a reputation for seeking vengeance when they do.' 'But it appears a political line in the sand is being drawn after DeSantis’ administration announced plans this week to carve out golf courses and pickleball courts in Florida’s beloved state parks.' 'Unlike the issues of abortion, LGBTQ rights, race and guns that have divided voters, state parks apparently hold a place in the hearts of Floridians regardless of party. The state park system has received national recognition for years, and people are resistant to change the protected lands they enjoy.' Floridians balk at DeSantis administration plan to build golf courses at state parks https://apnews.com/article/florida-...-development-f6f1e129cdd316207eeabc90edf2aad6

So much "winning" -- even Carville says you are toast as outlined by the right-wing Daily Caller. Say goodbye to Mr. Irrelevant, Ron DeSantis. ‘He Is Toast’: James Carville Declares Ron DeSantis’ ‘Political Career’ Is ‘Over’ https://dailycaller.com/2024/08/29/...clares-ron-desantis-political-career-is-over/ Democratic strategist James Carville proclaimed on Thursday that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ career in politics is finished. DeSantis ran for the Republican nomination in 2024 but suspended his campaign in January and endorsed former President Donald Trump. Carville said on his “Politics War Room” podcast that DeSantis will not be able to win back the support of “the Trump people” and that the governor may not have “a place to go.” “DeSantis is done, all right? He is toast. He can’t go back to the Trump people,” Carville said. “The Moms for Liberty are getting slaughtered. Big flash point, people don’t like book burners, okay? They went all into that. I’m very reluctant to declare anyone’s political career over, but DeSantis, you may be done, dude. You’re just done. I don’t know if you’ve got a place to go.” “Who cares what James Carville thinks,” Desantis’ communications director Bryan Griffin told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Trump nicknamed DeSantis “Ron DeSanctimonious” when they were rivals during the 2024 presidential campaign. The former president attacked DeSantis for running against him after he endorsed him to become the Florida governor. DeSantis accused Trump of not being “pro-life” during a January 2024 CNN town hall after the former president called a Florida law restricting abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy “too harsh” in May 2023. Eleven out of 23 school board candidates DeSantis endorsed recently lost their local elections. Conservative group Moms for Liberty also endorsed 14 candidates across different counties in Florida, with three securing victories, six losing and five advancing to November runoffs, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The 2024 election results differed from those of 2022, where DeSantis endorsed 30 candidates and only five lost. Carville in May praised Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and especially how it defeated DeSantis. “What they did in the primaries was really remarkable,” Carville said. “We tend to write that off. He was an incumbent polarizing figure, you would say, ‘well he’s going to get what he starts out with,’ but actually he ended up with a lot. What they did to Ron DeSantis, what Susie Wiles did to Ron DeSantis, has to be one of the great cutting jobs I’ve ever seen in politics.”
