You Trump people just want an outlet for your rage and sense of mistreatment by the government. That’s why we are having these hate crimes. Trump has made his base feel it is OK to act out his and their angry ideas and actions. Trump needs to be defeated badly in 2020, and I hope and pray his minions are defeated in the mid-terms.

We sane, moderate people need to take our country back from the abyss.

I can't tell but I got a real good feeling the polls are BS on this race...just like Florida's are.

I think Kemp wins by at least 4 or 5 points. He completely blew out our sitting Lt Governor thank god and I think the GOP electorate is scared of what Abrams will do as governor and are turning out like crazy. My parents already sent in their straight GOP ballots and me and the wife vote on election day. I would be SHOCKED if Abrams won.

Any coincidence you are referring to two races in which BLACK candidates are doing well (GA & FL). Are there more than 1500 people living in Ellijay? Early voting so far in Georgia (and 7 other states) at this point has already surpassed all the early voting in the 2014 mid-term. The GOP electorate is probably scared that GA will have a woman (and horror of horrors) a black woman as Governor!!

They are? All I'm hearing on the news is that he's behind Cruz.

Could be that your anti-media bias is influencing your perception.

A very similar point could be made about the sons of George H.W. Bush.

Nope not a coincidence at all if you had read what I said. Its a fascination with trying to elect the first black woman governor...jeez do you not read the WHOLE thing I said? Goodness. People in Florida are not going to vote for a moron who will raise their taxes. Retirees move to Florida to ESCAPE taxes....Yep early voting is up obviously..because we don't want a radical extremist as governor but there is a saving grace in that she won't get much down because the GOP controls the legislature here.

Do you ever keep up with current events? Hillary was a Senator from NY for 6 years and also Secretary of State. I think a huge portion if the well-read population knows that.

I read every word you wrote, twice. I see the anti-black cover up with the standard GOP siren call that a candidate who is not their tribe will raise taxes. Kemp is a dishonest jerk.

Gillum has suggested raising Florida’s CORPORATE tax rate from 5.5 to 7.75% which would generate an additional $1 billion for the state. The info you referenced above was from an attack ad by his opponent. As a former resident, I don’t think most FL retirees will be paying that. I also know that Florida could sure use the extra funds. They need to fight that algae that is ruining their beaches and their tourist business.

Harris County smashes early voting record

The media is trying to spin this as being for Beto, but I can assure you that is not the case where I live.

I understand they do not have early voting in many Northeastern states for some reason, by the way. Why is that, I wonder?
The real Red Wave of election day will wash away the media Trumped up faux Blue Wave.

I expect the Democrat controlled polling to be almost as accurate as their Nov 16 predictions of a Hillary landslide win.
