Trump says Democrats would ruin Florida, his second home
Associated Press ^ | November 3, 2018 | Darlene Superville

President Donald Trump on Saturday used his final Florida campaign event before next week’s elections to implore supporters to send Republicans to the governor’s mansion and the U.S. Senate, claiming that allowing Democrats to win either office would bring ruin to the state he also calls home.

Trump returned to Florida for the second time this week to help rally support for Gov. Rick Scott, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. Trump also sought to boost former Rep. Ron DeSantis, who is facing off against Andrew Gillum, the Democratic mayor of Tallahassee, in the race for governor.

Trump argued that Gillum would “destroy Florida” and claimed that Gillum’s policies would be a “total nightmare” for the state. […]

“If you want to pay high taxes, you ought to vote for the mayor of Tallahassee,” Trump said. “You will destroy the state that I love.” Trump noted that he also calls Florida home; his Mar-a-Lago estate is located in Palm Beach and he spends most weekends there in the winter.

He also said of the Democrat: “Andrew Gillum is not equipped to be your governor. It’s not for him.”

Trump criticized Nelson, too, claiming that he only sees the former astronaut “around election time when he’s on television every night.” …

Gillum would seize Mar a Lago for himself as security measure....or by gift or fire sale, should the Democrats succeed in crushing GEOTUS as an example of what happens to opposition.

And Trump also mentioned Nelson never asked for help with the pollution problem and the Okeechobee dam project. People here have been blaming Rick Scott , our governor , for the pollution. Nelson has been our senator for years and years. Now Nelson wants to take credit for the dam. Per Trump Rick Scott was the one who got it done.

Side Bar, Question, “When does “Mail-In” Voting and early voting cease in Florida?” Does it end today, Sunday, November 4th, or does end, tomorrow, Monday, November 5th? Thanks!!!

This guy Gillum is REALLY bad news: According to a report by Aaron Klein of Brietbart.

Gillum directed a radical youth training organization whose mission was:

<><> to challenge U.S. “predatory capitalism,”

<><> abolish the prison system,

<><> fight a “spiritual resistance”

<><> battle against “Christian hegemony,”

<><> redefine the meaning of “borders” while aiding “undocumented” aliens,

<><> enact the “collective liberation” of “communities of color” amid the scourge of “white supremacy.”

Gillum’s group accused the US of

<><> being a “colonialist” power

<><> perpetrating “structural violence” and “continued genocide”

<><> blamed conservatives in the U.S. judicial system as “justifying white supremacist policing practices.”

PROJECT VERITAS CAUGHT THIS LITTLE BLACK BASTARD ON TAPE--imagine this crawling around Florida?

Omar Smith, a Gillum insider, seen on PROJECT VERITAS tape, stated the Gillum campaign has
“to appeal to white guilt.” Smith indicated on tape that Gillum is a bald-faced liar.

"If Gillum is elected “None of the programs Gillum is promising would happen.”

<><> “Raise the corporate tax in Florida from 7 to 11 percent. That will never happen.

<><> Raise teacher’s pay to $50,000, that will never happen.

<><> Medicare for all will never happen."

=======================================

But a high paid govt job for insider Omar WILL happen.....except reports are Gillum "said" he fired this creep.

Actually....American voters, “ALL”, in Florida and across the entire county have a “Golden-Once-In-A-Lifetime” chance and opportunity to defeat & destroy the entire Democrat Party politically on this coming Mid-Term Election Day, Tuesday, November 6, 2108.

If the American voters cast their votes in favor of keeping the House, The Senate in the Republican Majority, The Democrat Party will in effect, cease to exist as a meaningful, functional, operating, political party!!! Case closed!!! Do it, Do it, Do it, American Voters!!!

I think, based on actual early voting and that Independents should break our way, we’re in good shape...just need to turn out on Election Day like we always do on our side!

Hey, thank you for following the EV vote totals for Florida these last couple weeks! We’re way ahead of where we were in 2016, so that is great to see. This weekend was their last ‘souls to the polls’ drive so expecting them to cut into our lead a bit. Are you going to look at those numbers and post?

Everyone, keep in mind that in 2016, we entered Election Day down by over 100,000 votes, so to be ahead right now is a great indicator of good things!

If you’re not on the LS ping list, then you need to do that...I base all of my comments on his teams analysis across the different states. It’s based on actual numbers rather than other things.

Florida voters, if you want to see what Gillum will do to Florida, see the state of Connecticut. Before the income tax, Connecticut was a thriving state...businesses were moving in...now, Connecticut is losing population and businesses are moving out. Florida will suffer that. Say no to Dems...

I know I’m a teen, but if the fake news are saying that People are against Trump, why are more people showing up to see Trump than Biden or Obama? I believe the Media is lying. We drove to Fort Myers to see him...I saw lots of kids there...my generation are not the brain dead Dem voters...
