The Reps. pretty much own Fl. these days. Rubio will win. The only question is by how much.

But it's cool.. keep rooting. Hell, I'm still rooting for Mastriano to pull off a miracle in PA.

I'm not really rooting either way. Just surprised at how hard she was coming out swinging. She seems to be going a little much on about his failures, needs to talk more about what she will do differently.

Yes, she’s doing a great job of deflecting questions and not answering them directly but the panel of journalists are trying their best to drag her across the finish line by throwing softballs her way and not following up on her non-answers.

Rubio is not a great debater but he’s landed some punches. She is coming on strong but she sounds a bit theatrical and over the top.

Bottom line, she’ll get the black vote and Rubio will get the Hispanics and I think he has the advantage.

It’s called desperation.

Rubio is also going to get the sane white people vote. Demings will be a rubber stamp for the extremist Democrat agenda. No thanks.

Florida is a Republican state. No state income tax. They don't want to become a blue state.

The worst part of that debate was the panel. One question about gas reserves which could lightly tied to the economy, but no questions on inflation, supply chain problems, the stock market, recession—in other words, what about the economy, stupid! These journalists could care less—they want to make sure we’re not a bunch of election deniers threatening democracy. Yes, one journalist asked Rubio if he would accept the election results, and he had a great comeback that yes, he would, that he wasn’t an election denier like a Stacey Abrams.

Journalists suck, and I say that as someone who was a reporter decades ago.

Yeah, the "journalists" here in Palm Beach County are Democrat Party activists.

Of course she did. A cornered dog always looks fierce.

Her fellow cops/Sheriffs don't even support her (possibly because she was a diversity appointment and a very lackluster chief). That tells me all I need to know. She was the available warm body for the dems to trot out. Just like Herschel in Georgia with the repubs.
