School Choice parents in Florida: @davidjollyfl has promised to return a means test to vouchers. That means only people around the poverty line will get assistance. Before DeSantis stopped means testing, the maximum salary for a family of four was around $60,000. So if you have two parents who make 30K each, all of a sudden your kid can no longer use a voucher for private school. We all know in today’s time, making $60,000 is nothing and so you’re basically removing those kids from their beloved schools.
If your kid uses a voucher for private school, goes to a charter school or your family uses the vouchers for your homeschooling, you better get out and vote Republican

Some of you DeSantis supporters who are vehemently opposed to Byron Donalds are making the argument that Florida would actually be better off with Jolly as governor.
Why? "At least there will be gridlock!"
The argument many are making is that Jolly would be powerless against a Republican-controlled Legislature, which would serve as a safeguard against his agenda.
Really?
It's almost as if some of you have forgotten that the biggest challenges DeSantis faced during his second term didn't come from Democrats.
They came from the very same Republican legislators you're now counting on to protect Florida from a Democratic governor.
The same Republican legislators who repeatedly clashed with DeSantis over immigration enforcement, property taxes, gun rights, and other conservative priorities.
And let's be honest, some of those Republican legislators are flat-out HORRENDOUS.
These are the people you're relying on as your safeguard?
Oh, and here's another question.
What's your plan for 2028?
What happens if the country elects a Democrat president?
Are you seriously confident that Governor Jolly, a DEMOCRAT would stand up to President Gavin Newsom? Or President AOC?
Because like it or not, Florida's governor plays an enormous role in determining how this state responds to the federal government.
Do you honestly believe Jolly would stand up to a Democrat administration? Get real.
I get it. You don't want Byron Donalds.
Neither do I.
I've made my frustrations with the Republican primary process clear.
But there's a difference between being frustrated with the Republican establishment and deliberately handing the governorship to a Democrat to teach that establishment a lesson.
Especially when your entire strategy depends on trusting the very same Republican legislators you've spent years criticizing.
So I ask again, what's the plan here?
So far, all I'm hearing is how much you dislike Donalds and how I'M responsible for anything Donalds will do that we disagree with.
I'm not hearing a convincing argument for why Florida would be better off with Jolly.

Did you know:
Aimee Bock was convicted in the $250M Feeding Our Future scheme and sentenced to 41+ years; she suggested Ilhan Omar knew: “I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known.”
There are documented communications between her and Omar’s congressional office.
Hey @grok, what is the only law that Ilhan Omar ever got passed while a member of Congress (actual non-symbolic policy)?
Which community exploited this law?
List all her ties to those fraudsters.

I’d like to add on my 2¢ that primaries often do not produce the best candidate, and that money to fund campaigns is often one of the best determinants for outcome
look at presidential elections for example, tons of candidates technically throw their name in the hat, but only ones polling above a certain percentage ever have a chance to actually step onto a debate stage
for the Florida governor’s race, I started asking around to my friends to see about why a debate hadn’t been scheduled, and polling numbers really just weren’t showing it as a race
I’m not going to be sharing who, but I spoke with folks with enough influence that could have helped a debate happen, but at the time the poll numbers genuinely weren’t there to warrant it
some of the candidates performed better than they polled for sure, but at the end of the day, no one else was close
while I initially had my doubts, Byron has a lot of great republicans surrounding him and supporting him, and I’m firmly supporting the republican candidate for governor in Florida
next time there’s a big race like this, be on the ground early and help secure large donations to fund the campaign of the candidate that you like best. being un-unified now only helps the democrats. it doesn’t benefit us one bit
I see a lot of Florida Republicans declaring that they won't vote for Byron Donalds because they believe the Republican primary process was flawed.
One of the biggest complaints seems to be the lack of debates.
Now, I'm not here to argue that there shouldn't have been debates. That's a perfectly legitimate criticism.
But I have an honest question.
Have any of you ever actually made up your mind—or, more importantly, changed your mind—because of a political debate?
Seriously. Be honest.
Political debates are largely scripted, rehearsed television performances. They're entertaining, sure. Sometimes they're downright hilarious.
Candidates come prepared with carefully crafted talking points, rehearsed one-liners, and clever punchlines. The questions are often little more than opportunities for candidates to deliver their prepared speeches.
Let's be real. Debates are often more entertaining than they are informative.
By the time a debate rolls around, most politically engaged voters already know where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to them.
But let's put all that aside for a moment.
The fact is, there WAS a primary.
Republican voters had the opportunity to make their voices heard. They had the opportunity to vote for someone other than Byron Donalds.
And yet, here's what actually happened:
Only 30.68% of registered Florida Republicans voted in the 2026 primary.
Let that sink in.
69.32% of registered Republicans didn't even bother to vote.
Nearly SEVEN out of every TEN Republican voters sat it out.
And now we're hearing complaints that the process was rigged? That the voters were cheated? That Donalds was forced upon us?
I'm sorry, but where exactly is the scam?
You can criticize the party establishment. You can criticize the lack of debates. You can criticize the candidates themselves.
Hell, I'll probably agree with some of those criticisms.
But at some point, voters need to take responsibility, too.
We didn't get stuck with Byron Donalds because Republican voters were denied the opportunity to vote.
We got stuck with Byron Donalds because an overwhelming majority of registered Republicans couldn't be bothered to exercise that opportunity.
And that's the part of this conversation nobody seems interested in having.
You want better candidates? So do I.
You want a better primary process? I'm all for it.
But here's a radical idea:
Next time, show up and VOTE for a better candidate.
You can't sit out the primary and then act shocked when somebody else makes the decision for you.
