@DouthatNYT Re column about undecided voters: Douthat's use of "elites" is selective and distorts the picture of life in America. Trump is an elite. Mr. Douthat, Harvard grad, columnist for NYT, which I read daily, is an elite.

Medical care decisions and speech deserve the defense as the market, sir.
A free market must be defended from government interference.

Hospital care in my county is substandard, my property insurance is unaffordable despite no claims and you’re posturing over debatable football decision?

Hospital health care in my community is substandard, my insurance is through the roof and you’re going after debatable college football decisions?

Pulling for Bucks today in your honor Coach B!
You also repeatedly sold out the people of Manatee County. Honestly you have been a terrible representative but not nearly as bad as Ron has been Governor.

Funny how DeSantis is fighting “woke” in FLA after 8 years of Gov Scott and Rs in charge since 1998.
The @HouseGOP is showing us what it looks like to stand for conservative ideas and fight for Americans' best interests. Caving to D.C. Democrats' reckless spending and woke agenda won't work. It's time we STOP COMPROMISING and start delivering for the American people.

Terrific discussion and reminders of why we need to act to preserve and protect our home county.
