Good job.
Florida FR members are the best source for Florida politics.

I just sent the following message to family and friends. Thanks for posting.

In case you had not heard of Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum before, here is one of his campaign ads where he lays out his agenda.

His bullet points are:
BEAT THE NRA
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
$1 BILLION FOR EDUCATION
BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS
$15 MINIMUM WAGE
ABOLISH AND REPLACE ICE
END STAND YOUR GROUND
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA
IMPEACH TRUMP

The local "news" station in my area, SNN6, has been slobbering over this guy all morning.

Unsurprisingly.

I think that “trigger words” are going to be less relevant. The people who would be triggered aren’t going to vote Republican anyway, and Republicans are getting less eager to appease the Trigglypuffs by throwing the triggeror under the bus.

“I have more faith in Floridians than that.”

I am a Floridian. Your faith is misplaced.

“I have been saying all morning: do not discount Gillum. I believe that he has both the financial and ideological support that is necessary to be voted in as governor, properly or otherwise. The biggest driver in this gubernatorial election is going to be turn out. But, then again, the left has shown more than once that they are capable of stuffing ballot boxes.”

I have to agree with you. Did you see the turnout in “Hanging Chad County”? This race is turnout, turnout and turnout. It looks like the Dems have fired up their base. The Pubbies better get out there and do the same or they will lose this thing. That turnout also bodes Ill for others on the R side of the ticket.

...We’ll see how that plays on the Redneck Riviera...

About as well as a campaign visit from
Ocasio- Cortez. But, big time in Tamarac.

Bernie - that old commie - will teach Gillum the ‘weasel words’ that turn the heads of the young and greedy...

It’s how Venezuela was turned.

Commies don’t tell the truth - they don’t say, “Someday you’ll be eating the animals at the Zoo and happy to do it”. No, they promise ‘FREE FREE FREE’ ... and it sounds soooooo good... but it’s never that good and the words are never that true.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the entirety of the Democrat platform for 2018 through 2020.

It’s radical goals like these, that are responsible for them losing over 1,400 races since 2010. And yet, they continue to double and triple down on their losing liberal positions.

More power to them!

Gulum has no chance...

Don't get cocky.

Broward Country will stuff ballots by the trunk load and Gillum will get a solid majority (90%+) of the Black vote simply because of race.

Republican turnout must be full-throttle to decisively overcome Democrat cheating. This election needs to put down the Socialists with a 20 point margin or better - just to be sure.

> Yeah, but DeSantis said “monkey”

When liberals hear “monkey” they think “black” regardless of the context. Then they call us “racist”.

It was funny last night that Laura Ingraham called him Gollum first.
