Are you kidding?

In all liklihood, Democrats everywhere will be coming out of the woodwork to make excuses, lie and cheer this inappropriate behavior on. After cheering on the most despicable, low-down, disgusting political conduct any of us have ever seen during the Brett Kavanaugh SCOTUS confirmation process, what level will these people not stoop to?

This is the new normal for the Democrat left. They are for mobs over jobs every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I am surprised by that.

Thankfully, governorships other than ours have no impact on our lives.

If the people of FL elect Gillum, either by voting for him or staying home, they deserve what they get.

Besides, the Dems can certainly use a few more governorships. Crikey.

Oh please. We have a president who degrades and insults anyone who disagrees with him. These are the evil people according to him. He outright lies about everything including his scare tactics about democrats. His rallies are full of hatred which he encourages. It's actually pretty scary to hear the hatred from them. So tell me why the media is responsible for dividing our country and Trump is so innocent

Nowhere in the article you posted does it quote either Gillum or King saying they would defend the migrant caravan.
Did you even bother to read the article or just the headline?

Yellow journalism.

I expect the polls have probably overstated Gillum's support, but he may very well win - it should be really close either way. DeSantis does not come across as a particularly compelling Republican, other than linking himself strongly to the president which is exactly what a sizable share of voters like to see. Hopefully whoever gets elected will focus on Florida's key issues (absolutely including the red tide) and not grandstanding.

You hit the nail on the head, DeSantis is a very lukewarm candidate, not inspiring at all. Gillum handed him his lunch in those debates, DeSantis left whimpering and couldn't come up with any good answers. Him holding hands with Trump may have not worked out the way he hoped, either. Trump is the kiss of death right now.

I think Gillum would make a very good Governor. He seems energetic, intelligent, hard working, and strong. He will stand up to Trump and do the right things for us here. I hope enough other voters agree with me.

Gillum is definitely your guy if you want someone who will combat red tide, NOT Desantis.

According to the environment scorecard based on how politicians voted for or against the environment, DeSantis got a 3% out of 100% (lower % means more anti-environment) while fellow Floridian Senator Nelson got 95% out of 100%.

Ron DeSantis | League of Conservation Voters Scorecard
Bill Nelson | League of Conservation Voters Scorecard


Gillum has no record on the national level yet but you can bet he will vote like how Dems do....
Yet, The Everglades Trust is behind Ron Desantis...
