What the fuck is wrong with Florida? They have elected an actual racist as their governor. Uggh!
Words don’t describe how bad that hurts. Pres. Obama won Florida twice. Now look where we are in FLA.
In what universe do we win the governor’s race in Kansas but lose in Florida??? As their red-tide contaminated state continues to sink into the sea they still vote for those who won’t even have a discussion about climate change. Florida is seriously messed up. A lot of bright spots but this is a weird election.
You can say that again.
Fortunately, I have no plans to spend a single cent in Floriduh for at least 4 more years.
“DeSantis won the governor’s mansion by turning out the base and the state’s growing share of conservative retirees from the Midwest…”
I think they misspelled “deplorably racist”.
In many states, a difference of less than 1% invokes a automatic recount.
I am surprised that Gillum was quick to defeat.
Tonight is turning out to be every bit as depressing as 2016. I feel nauseous.
@losamigos Me too.
That’s how you know Gillum is a Dem. A bought-and-paid-for GOP tool would have insisted on a recount, and would have hired a dozen “independent” poll-watchers to stalk the election judges. And probably had a rich friend pull strings at a university to threaten to have the judges’ kids expelled from college unless they “did what was right.”
The Dem House will probably subpoena Trump’s tax returns before Valentine’s.
I have no proof whatsoever, but I do not believe the results in Florida.
It did not start out looking how I expected and I almost panicked at one point thinking we would lose the House but we didn’t. The government will soon not be totally controlled by the Rethugs. It’s something.
I read somewhere that Florida passed the reinstatement of voting rights for felons. That’ll add 1.5 million voters — most of whom have been screwed by the state — for the next election. So there’s that.
Register that new 1.4 million voters that was just approved on the ballot and make FL look a bit different 2 years from now. Their votes are not a part of any projections. Dems need to build on top of what they have built. It is good to see a turnout for the midterms eeking towards presidential levels, but it would nice to see higher voter participation in general.
So what you are saying is that Gillum can read the tea leaves and also has class. I will take that as a compliment, although it was backhanded.
OT Something to bear in mind: If Mueller takes down Toadglans and Q-tip, the next president will be Pelosi.
I hope Gillum doesnt disappear… he needs to keep trying.
