Lieutenant Governor, Green Beret, “Fallen Star”? Florida Politics Tries and Fails to Bury Jay Collins Alive

from Firing Lane · host Croaky Caiman

This episode challenges a Florida Politics narrative that declares Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins "fallen," arguing the story is driven by biased coverage and pay-to-play media dynamics rather than facts. It reviews Collins’ military and legislative record, DeSantis’ measured praise, and the misleading use of early polling to declare inevitability. The host exposes how advertiser influence and premature narratives shape political coverage, explains why Collins’ cautious timeline is strategic not weak, and contrasts a service-oriented candidacy with a media-driven power model. Listeners are urged to look beyond headlines, consider the record, and stay engaged in the 2026 primary conversation.
