The republican way, project. Sling dirt. the dumb republican voters just eat up the lies. And even in the face of facts, they will still deny

Couldn't have been that he leaned a bit far left?

So it was because Rep. voters got off their butts not, the lack of Dem. voters who did not.

No need to cry for Mr. Gillum.

The trend in Florida indicates that Mr. Gillum has a rosy political future ahead of him.


Some people may not like that trend, but no one can stop it.

There is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek movement for South Florida to secede and create two states.

My only question......how soon?

Why is that? Florida is a retirement and vacation state. How can Gillum help those who flock to the state and bring tax revenue, other than overtaxing them and sending them elsewhere? Tourists have choices, so do retirees.

Speaking of those less intellectually equipped......I saw a DeSantis bumper sticker during the primary that read, "Make Florida Great Again". Did someone not inform him that the pachyderms have held the statehouse lo these many, many years. Including the present governor (soon to be senator) who has these impeccable credentials.

These people are dumber than a bag of hammers.

Two things.
1) the writer seems to be suggesting Gillum was a victim of guilt-by-association. Can you think of any current parallels?
2) the writer has a history of a political hackery that might make a person wonder if his story was as complete as it could have been.

Sounds like it may not be wise to believe unsubstantiated criminal allegations, at least until the indictments have been released. Or, for that matter, any campaign mudslinging in general.

Better still to wait for the actual convictions.
