Let\u2019s see if it pays off for him<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll focus on Crist\u2019s latest comments on Monday first, then break down the rest of the peculiar campaign strategy.<\/p>\n<p>While appearing on CNN, Crist claimed that the president was just being \u201chonest\u201d when he labeled \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d as a bunch of semi-fascists threats to the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s important is to state the facts as they are,\u201d Crist said in response to a clip of Biden\u2019s comments. \u201cHe\u2019s gotta be honest and express what he feels in his heart and his soul, and I think that\u2019s probably exactly what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the words of Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro, \u201cFacts don\u2019t care about your feelings.\u201d Biden feeling \u201cin his heart\u201d that MAGA Republicans (which appear to account for large swath of the GOP) are semi-fascists doesn\u2019t make it so. Furthermore, is Crist aware that Trump carried Florida in both 2016 and 2020? Why would Sunshine State voters support a man who won\u2019t defend them from being blasted as semi-fascists?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the answer to that question lies in Crist\u2019s public comments about voters who support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R): He\u2019s told them that he doesn\u2019t even want their votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who support the governor should stay with him and vote for him, and I don\u2019t want your vote,\u201d Crist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-dont-want-your-vote-florida-democrat-celebrates-primary-win-by-alienating-half-the-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>\u00a0earlier this week. \u201cIf you have that hate in your heart, keep it there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want the vote of the people of Florida who care about our state: good Democrats, good independents, good Republicans,\u201d Crist added. \u201cUnify with this ticket. Unify with Val Demings and Charlie Crist. Unify with us. Those who are haters? You\u2019re going to go off in your own world, and you better get right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that strategy could backfire, and in a big way. According to one poll, DeSantis is <a href=\"https:\/\/floridapolitics.com\/archives\/552047-poll-shows-ron-desantis-underwater-with-independents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beating<\/a> Crist by 5 percentage points. In 2018, DeSantis earned 4,076,186 votes. Since then, more Republicans have entered the state.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of a candidate tells more than four million people to not vote for him?<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, just days after Miami-Dade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/year-of-the-parent-conservative-school-board-candidates-gain-control-in-key-florida-counties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elected<\/a> a conservative school board \u2014 populated with DeSantis-endorsed candidates \u2014 Crist chose the president of the Dade Teachers Union to be his running mate. Karla Hern\u00e1ndez-Mats, the teachers union president, is outspokenly against DeSantis\u2019s anti-woke agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeachers didn\u2019t go into this profession to be politicized. We\u2019re truth-tellers,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/miami\/2022\/08\/29\/charlie-crist-karla-hernandez-mats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> CBS this summer. \u201cWe don\u2019t believe in banning books \u2026We see all these different culture wars from Governor DeSantis and really extreme legislators in Tallahassee that are impacting our school system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crist seems to think those sorts of stances will help his chances.<\/p>\n<p>Yet a recent poll indicates that, actually, Florida residents \u2014 especially Hispanic voters and blue-collar workers \u2014 appear to side with DeSantis in the fight against the cultural attacks from the Left.<\/p>\n<p>USA Today recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tallahassee.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/08\/24\/poll-florida-desantis-culture-war-voters\/10352673002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that a \u201cFlorida survey found that 52% of Florida voters approve of the governor\u2019s focus on culture issues \u2014 such as gender identity, sexual orientation and race \u2014 in schools and businesses and 47% disapprove.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats overwhelmingly oppose those efforts, yet 52% of independents support him. Furthermore, a whopping 54% of voters without a college degree and 60% of Hispanic voters support him as well.<\/p>\n<p>The thing about Crist is that he has never been driven by ideological principles. It isn\u2019t as if he has held these Leftist views his entire career like Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.<\/p>\n<p>He appears to be far more driven more by whatever he thinks can get him elected than any adherence to specific political platform.<\/p>\n<p>All that being said, why wouldn\u2019t he fake political views that are more aligned with Florida voters?<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of moron is Charlie Crist?
