Team Putnam @TeamPutnam 👀SPOTTED on I-95 south of Ponte Vedra. @adamputnam grassroots support is everywhere!
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Such as: """I guess you really don't understand what "grassroots support" really means, do you? Hint: Advertising that you make and pay for is not "grassroots support"."""
Also, can someone put up the short video of the woman helping the elephant?
it is not everywhere
and it is not grass-roots
it should be an interesting campaign season.
BTW - And I thought the way politicians pimp their own kids was despicable. Gwen Graham is laughable the way she pimps her daddy’s record.
Gwen Graham - just playing the entitlement card.
Illegal aliens for Putnam!

Almost 2900 polled. Desantis up 17 points, +/- 1.84% MOE.
“””Almost 2900 polled. Desantis up 17 points,”””
In 2016 the GOP Elite spent hundreds of millions to make Jeb Bush the Republican Presidential candidate.
Apparently, the GOP Elite did not learn a lesson that a pro-amnesty, big government, special interest candidate is not wanted in Florida.
Driving an 18 wheeler around Florida and calling it a ‘grassroots campaign’ is what the Establishment does.
DeSantis has a lot of energy and he is truly the ‘grassroots’ candidate for Governor.
Adam Putnam comes from my county, where he replaced Charles Canady (now a justice of the FL Supreme Court) as congresscritter. I had him meet with my Ethics students about 20 years ago when he was just learning the GOP ropes, discussing conservative ideology from a philosophical perspective.
In a sense, I feel sorry for the man, since he has spent his life making his way up the political ladder the way conservatives were supposed to, only to have it cut out from under him in the disruption that is Trumpism. To mix metaphors, Putnam didn’t see the Trump train coming until it was too close and too fast for him to get out of the way and get on it. I hope he learns the Cruz lesson and supports De Santis when the latter runs against the Demwhoever in the fall.
Said it before so I’ll say it again, De Santis would be a great Governor, but I’d prefer he stays in the House of Reps. With him gone there’s no telling who will fill his seat in the House next cycle. (Gwen Graham? How does that sound?) *spit*
“Please clap?”
Talk about spitting, in Ohio for Governor, we have the choice between career politician Mike DeWine and Obama stooge Richard Cordray of the Consumer Financial Protection Racket, er, Bureau.
I like DeWine’s running mate, John Husted, a lot. He’s cleaned up the Secretary of State’s office. It is comparable to voting for Sarah Palin in spite of McCain.
“””De Santis would be a great Governor, but I’d prefer he stays in the House of Reps”””
Sorry, but I am on President Trump’s side that believes DeSantis should be the Florida Governor and we will find an equally good person to replace DeSantis in the House of Representatives.
“””Putnam has spent his life making his way up the political ladder”””
Putnam is kinda like Debbie Wasserman Schultz who has spent her life being a politician.
On the other hand Ron DeSantis had a challenging career in the military before getting into politics.
Cannot really disagree, but im cautious about FL picking a conservative to replace De Santis. Read a recent article that most of the displaced Puerto Ricans are likely to remain here. I dont pretend to know their politics, but they did a pretty good job of turning PR into a 3rd world paradise. Will they bring it with them?
The Puerto Ricans who have moved to Florida are probably not living in DeSantis’ 6th congressional district. Thus, the Puerto Rican vote should not influence the outcome of the 6th congressional district if DeSantis is the Republican candidate for Governor.
As far as the Governor’s race is concerned, the Republicans need a strong candidate like DeSantis to overcome the likely Democrat vote by the Puerto Ricans.
Putnam has too much Establishment baggage to bring the Republican vote out in force.
The 2018 Florida election promises to be exciting with Gov. Rick Scott challenging a very, very old Sen Bill Nelson.
DeSantis is a better candidate to ride that excitement.
Some big money interests want this RINO in the Gov’s office
I wouldn’let him walk my cat
