Are they nuts? DeSantis is only slightly less incompetent than tfg. Republicans must have some candidate who would be better than either of those guys.
He seems more narcissistic if that is even possible. And he has more money, which is probably why people are jumping onboard. Amy gives the impression that she doesn't really seek out information or wrestle with issues. I'm sure she reaches voters with her matter of factness about complicated ideas that are not and shouldn't be matter of fact. Very scary to hear her speak.

She thought she should run against a nice, popular guy she respected because the Republicans seek out the low information candidate and demonize the other side without any evidence. I don't agree she is genuine and real as she says she is. She has a "passion" for every idea the Republicans have fed to her without any regard to why the other side might hold those views. She even repeated stuff about Biden that the Republicans spew out, then blamed identity politics. Couldn't listen to the end.
Thanks JD, no I haven't. Glad you like the birds. I'm doing most of that now at Cedar Creek Nature Notes, but will occasionally cross post here. https://cedarcreeknaturenotes.substack.com/
The GOP has three core values: White Supremacy, a perverted lust for exotic assault weapons, and a malignant misogyny. <shrug>
And don't forget money. Here's another substack about DeSantis to give some insight on one reason Iowa Republicans are flocking to him. https://popular.info/p/ron-desantis-is-about-to-make-a-mockery?fbclid=IwAR0JdcL2hDH-WGgjCEldhETgMYoH_hes4k6OJESiSAgWEBJwdxtSPUB-0x4
Great piece.

We'll see. It's just beginning.

Thanks for your insights.
I agree with Larry. Robert, great interview.
I found myself cringing at some of the things she said, but not disliking her as a person.
I think that has a lot to do with the interviewer.
Thank you.
On a different note, Robert, I love your bird and nature sound posts. Thank you.
I wonder if you have considered writing a follow up on the NY Times editor comment to you, "You live a cliche."

THANKS, Bob, for this interview! Amy Sinclair is very articulate. Just wish she didn't lean so far right!
Thanks Larry, and thanks for your email the other day on Cedar Creek. Come on down and we will go for a walk!
