@citybeautiful doesn’t need another generic downtown.

We need a city with a story.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

The debate over downtown shouldn’t be “preservation vs progress.”
Great cities figure out how to have both.
The buildings people travel to see in cities like Boston, New York, Savannah, or Europe survived because they remained useful, not because they were frozen in time.

[Orlando Business Journal @OBJUpdate]

Orlando leaders have approved a controversial rollback of historic-review rules downtown, a move supporters say could unlock $220 million in long-stalled investment projects. https://t.co/T7qzqZjZMW

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

If we regulate historic buildings until they become too expensive to maintain, we shouldn’t be shocked when owners eventually want out.

But if we tear everything down, we lose the character that makes a city special.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

Now when similar #gatekeeping happens inside a #primary, many make the same arguments about competition and letting #voters decide.

They were right then. They’re right now.

More voices. Better debates. Let voters choose.

Coming from the @LP_Florida into the @FloridaGOP has been interesting.

One thing I always respected about libertarians was the focus on principles. The challenge was too often it felt more like a club than a party trying to win.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

But #Republicans have our own challenge: #consistency.

For years, #thirdparties argued arbitrary debate rules limited voter choice and were told “those are the rules.”

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

Can we please stop falling for screenshots of polls without reading the fine print? 😂

Want the bigger picture? Look at the actual polling averages:

Polls are data, not campaign memes. https://t.co/y6n6YuYE0h

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

@davidjollyfl Interesting poll, but the small print matters.

“After fair biographical information was read on each candidate.”

That doesn’t measure where voters are today. It measures how voters respond after candidates are introduced.

Useful data? Yes.

A prediction of November? Not close.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

Give people information. Hold people accountable. Then let adults make choices

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

At some point we have to accept that adults are capable of making decisions and managing risk.

Whether it’s a bike, scooter, motorcycle, or any other form of transportation, personal responsibility matters.

If someone causes harm because they acted negligently, we already have laws to determine fault and hold the responsible party accountable.

The answer to every possible risk shouldn’t always be another regulation.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

@OsceolaCountyFl @FLDFS @GovGoneWild Saying “we kept the same millage rate for 15 years��� only tells half the story.
If property values skyrocket, the same rate still brings in a lot more taxpayer money.
Families judge affordability by the bill they pay, not the percentage formula government uses.

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

But when it happens inside a major party, suddenly voters deserve options.

Maybe the real principle should be simple:

If candidates meet the requirements, let voters hear from them and decide. 🗳️

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

Interesting seeing the debate over who gets a seat on the debate stage.

If this was a third-party candidate being excluded because party leaders decided they were “not viable,” most people would shrug and say “that’s politics.”

[Dr. Maria Peiro 🇺🇸 🐊 @MariaPeiro305]

This is an asinine decision. This is a great way for the Florida GOP to lose a lot of Republican votes in the general election. All it does is cause division, and it sours the base. Even if Byron Donalds were to become governor, it would be difficult for him to govern, if half the Republican base feels cheated and betrayed. I don't care what the polls say or how much money Byron Donalds has raised, Republican voters have a right to see a real debate between all candidates who qualified. Replacing an excellent governor like DeSantis who has turned Florida into a beacon of conservatism shouldn't be taken lightly. A robust primary to choose the best option to replace DeSantis is absolutely necessary. If Donalds is so great, then there shouldn't be a problem with having a real primary debate.

If you are a registered Republican in Florida, contact the Republican Party of Florida and demand a debate with all the candidates that have qualified.

@NCNewsOnX It’s totally precedented, third parties have been dealing with these shenanigans since Ross Perro. We can’t act like this is new because it’s being done internally. It’s wrong if we do it to our own or others!

[Marcos Diego @RealMarcosD]

@j_fishback They were influenced by Christianity, but also understood religious freedom.
Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Madison argued against taxpayer-funded churches.
Their vision was not government choosing faith. It was protecting the right to practice.
