I don't see how Republicans can win the presidency by mainly running on being against cultural war issues. Many of them can be settled at the state and local levels and advanced to the federal court system, if need be. And Republicans have as much as a 6 to 3 victory if anything goes all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court.

DeSantis Campaign Crumbling? PAC Official Admits as Much
A top spokesperson for Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign claimed he was being brutally honest when he said the Florida governor is "way behind" and faces an "uphill battle."
Steve Cortes made the remarks during a Twitter spaces conversation on Sunday evening. Cortes, a spokesperson for DeSantis's Presidential Action Committee, previously worked on Donald Trump's 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. During the Twitter talk, Cortes admitted Trump remains a juggernaut within the Republican base and referred to him as the "clear frontrunner," according to Politico.
“In the first four states which matter tremendously, polls are a lot tighter, we are still clearly down," Cortes said. "We’re down double digits, we have work to do.”
Cortes also admits that DeSantis is "way behind" in national polls.

Wisconsin Republicans say voters ‘doubting Trump's ability to win’ after poll shows DeSantis blowout
Some Wisconsin Republican voters are losing faith in former President Trump as a new statewide poll showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating him by 16 points in a head-to-head primary matchup.Wisconsin state Sen. Duey Stroebel, a Republican, said the poll shows voters in the state are doubting Trump’s electability amid his recent indictment, while DeSantis has taken a "more common sense, level-headed approach" on the campaign trail.
"Trump, of course, did a great job as president, but DeSantis is very, very impressive," Stroebel told Fox News Digital. "And I think more and more people really are doubting Trump's ability to win a general election, and I think these results kind of prove it."
The Marquette University Law School Poll released last week showed Trump leading DeSantis by only one percentage point in the crowded GOP primary field. But when asked who they would vote for in a head-to-head matchup between DeSantis and Trump, respondents chose DeSantis over Trump by a whopping 57% to 41%.

We will see. But there are a surprisingly large number of voters that will vote Trump if he is in the election. DeSantis, Haley, Scott, Ramaswamy, Pence, and Christie is too many additional candidates. They need to coalesce around a candidate soon or Trump will dominate with his 30-35% primary vote.Wisconsin Republicans say voters ‘doubting Trump's ability to win’ after poll shows DeSantis blowout

DeSantis defends anti-LGBTQ video shared by his campaign and calls it a 'fair game' attack on Trump
NEW YORK (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is defending an anti-LGBTQ video his campaign shared online that attacks rival Donald Trump for his past support of gay and transgender people, despite some of his fellow Republicans calling it homophobic.DeSantis, in an interview Wednesday on the podcast of conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, did not address accusations that the video was homophobic but said the intent was “identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants.”
“I think that’s totally fair game because he’s now campaigning, saying the opposite, that he doesn’t think that you should have men competing in women’s things like athletics,” DeSantis said.
His presidential campaign shared the video on Twitter last week, on the last day of June’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month, saying, “To wrap up ‘Pride Month,’ let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it.”
The video was posted amid a growing conservative campaign against LGBTQ rights and celebrations. It highlighted some of Trump's past statements supporting LGBTQ people, including saying he'd be OK with transgender women competing one day in the Miss Universe pageant, which Trump owned at the time of those remarks.
It also featured dark images of DeSantis with lightning coming out of his eyes, headlines that said he signed a “draconian anti-trans bathroom bill” and images of muscular shirtless men and clips of Christian Bale in the 2000 movie “American Psycho,” in which he plays a serial killer.
After the video was shared by the DeSantis War Room Twitter account on Friday, it drew immediate criticism. The Log Cabin Republicans, an organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives, called the video "divisive and desperate" and said it “ventured into homophobic territory.”
Republican Richard Grenell, who served as Trump's national intelligence director and was the first openly gay Cabinet member in any administration, said the video was “undeniably homophobic.”
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a Democrat who is openly gay, criticized the video during an interview on CNN on Sunday.
“I’m going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up shirtless bodybuilders, and just get to a bigger issue that is on my mind whenever I see this stuff in the policy space, which is, again, who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off?” Buttigieg said.
Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump's campaign, responded to the governor's comments using a version of a derisive nickname Trump has been using for DeSantis, saying simply: “A desperate DeSanctus campaign, with a flailing candidate, in its last throes of relevancy.”
DeSantis’ campaign on Thursday declined to comment further or respond to the criticism.
The video comes as some conservatives have formed an increasingly vocal and hostile campaign against LGBTQ+ rights — from the backlash to corporations that have shown support for LGBTQ+ people to attempts to ban rainbow Pride flag displays, restrict drag shows, ban gender-affirming care for minors and restrict transgender athletes from competitive sports.
The movement has become a central point in the GOP presidential contest, with DeSantis in particular highlighting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation he’s signed and criticizing President Joe Biden for displaying the Pride flag at the White House.
Trump has pledged that, if elected to the White House again, he would sign executive orders that cut U.S. tax funding for schools pushing “transgender insanity” and health care providers offering gender-affirming care for minors.
Trump and DeSantis both frequently attack the participation of transgender women in women’s sports and label gender-affirming care for minors as “mutilation.”

that is conservatives Gays calling it homophobic. If GOP Gays are calling it Homophobic he isn't going to win many votes from the Conservative Gays out there.
My point is that if you don't ask for a double scoop of whatever the alphabet crowd is shoveling out you are considered homophobic. It's hilarious. Absolutely the biggest snowflake group in history. I really don't think Desantis is counting on the gay vote to push him over the top.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) – Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday a list of out-of-state driver’s licenses that are no longer valid in Florida due to a new law considered to be its toughest immigration crackdown to date.
DeSantis, along with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, created the list of invalid licenses as part of the newly implemented Senate Bill 1718, which includes five states.
As of July 1, these out-of-state licenses are no longer valid in Florida if the driver is in the U.S. illegally.

Connecticut
Hawaii
Rhode Island
Vermont
“Someone who is in our country illegally and has violated our laws should not possess a government-issued ID which allows them access to state-funded services and other privileges afforded to lawful residents,” DeSantis said. “The Biden administration may continue to abdicate its responsibilities to secure our border, but Florida will stand for the rule of law. Even if the federal government refuses, Florida will act decisively to protect our citizens, our state, and our country.”
