His internals must be showing it’s safe to attack Trump in Florida. That would bode well for us in the Senate race as well.

While I applaud anyone telling off donnie…I do wish the candidate pool wasn’t limited to billionaires and famous people.

Good for Jeff. Trump is a classic little punk.

He is a candidate that Trump has to take seriously. He is somebody he can’t bully. He is a real billionaire.

And, yet, I seem to remember some guy named “FDR”…

And yet FDR also found it politically expedient to round up Japanese families (including American citizens) into internment camps for years. but hey, at least he kept the families together with their children.

We need another person like FDR. regardless of their income level. Don’t really see any on the horzon though. Seems like most of the people that are getting mentioned as possibles would be indistinguishable one from the other if you put them in big bags and listened to them talk.

Since he is running for Florida governor here are some things you need to know about Jeff Greene from his home town newspaper.

As a resident of West Palm Beach I know he is a really, really aggressive real estate developer. Like Trump he has a bigger than life personality except he is detail oriented and hard working. He is known for some big time, high profile projects in Palm Beach County and pretty much owns downtown West Palm Beach. He has been on the wrong side of several real estate battles. By wrong side I mean developments that are opposed by more historic minded in the community. It seems he wants to develop West Palm Beach along the lines of Fort Lauderdale. One of my employees, a West Palm Beach activist, calls Greene “West Palm Beach’s own billionaire.” Which is odd since Palm Beach is home to at least 29 billionaires not counting Trump (who is or isn’t from one evaluation to the next.)

Isn’t B as in billionaire part of our problem? No one gets that rich without something skeevy in their past.

No, billionaires are not part of our problem. There’s not enough of them to be the problem. The problem is middle class voters who vote for people promising to make rich people richer. A millionaire or billionaire who wants to put their money toward progress and making the world a better place is alright by me.

Off topic - for a needed snarky laugh.

I used to live in WPB. Much as I’d like to criticize developing the town into another Ft Lauderdale, most of it is in disrepair and needs a good makeover. Many of the historic neighborhoods are not built well enough to survive hurricanes and flooding is an issue. Many are also not that “historic” since the town was wrecked by the 1928 San Felipe Segundo hurricane.

Disagree. If you are so greedy, that millions of dollars is not enough for you and want more and more until you have billions, then there is definitely something wrong with you.

Trump doesn’t speak Spanish.
