BUCK: Some interesting primary election results wanted to touch on. Carolyn Maloney, who is actually my congresswoman for many, many years in New York — a Democrat; I had no choice in this matter. She just happened to represent the district I lived in. She got beat by Jerry Pants Up to His Nose Nadler, which is remarkable. I didn’t know you could get pants that high without it actually being considered like a beekeeper suit or something.
But the good news is, he is protected from the sun. And we also have Charlie Crist, the Democrat who is apparently still in politics, which has shocked everybody. And here he is saying that he loves Joe Biden and Joe Biden is a great president.
BUCK: Okay. I just want to say, that’s actually the other clip. It’s great, though. That was actually an even more important clip. The one — yeah, he says he loves Joe Biden as president, a Democrat now, whatever. Clay, here’s a politician who is straight-up saying, “If you voted for DeSantis, [bleep] you! I don’t want your vote.” That’s what he said.
CLAY: Which is a tough move when DeSantis already won as governor. So, you’re telling the people who have already voted the incumbent governor in who, by the way, think he did an incredible job overall, to not vote for you? I grabbed a little bit of data. There’s a strong case, I think, that’s gonna come out in 2022 that red got redder and blue got bluer, and we’ve been talking about this impact for some time.
The Florida Democrat governor turnout for the primary was down, actually, from 2018, despite the fact that there was a real contested primary between Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist, and DeSantis running unopposed with nothing really substantial for many Republican voters to vote for, substantially more people voted in the Republican primary than voted in the Democrat primary. So, I think DeSantis gonna win by seven or eight points. I don’t think it’s gonna be remotely close, Buck. But it is a bold move by Charlie Crist to come out on the first day that he’s gotten the nomination and say, “I don’t want your vote, you scum bugs.”
BUCK: Charlie Christ, he’s all about bold moves. Former Republican, former independent, now a Democrat, probably gonna run as a comrade-Marxist type in a few years. Who cares?
