On a night where Republicans were supposed to have the most hotly contested races — and were prepared for shocking, upset victories — it was Democrats who stole the show, nominating an actual socialist over a more moderate candidate to compete in the Florida gubernatorial election.
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who won Bernie Sanders’ coveted seal of approval, triumphed over Gwen Graham, the daughter of a senator and former Florida governor (and a centrist Democrat), New York Magazine reports. Graham was expected to win handily, and then expected to win the gubernatorial race over Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis.
…
The progressive left has hailed Gillum as a “hero”: he’s staunchly and unabashedly in favor of enacting single-payer health care, raising the minimum wage to more than $15 per hour, hiking Florida’s corporate income tax, abolishing ICE (the immigration and customs enforcement branch of the Department of Justice), and impeaching President Donald Trump.
In fact, Gillum considers himself a socialist, as do Democratic mega-donors like impeachment hawk and radical environmentalist Tom Steyer and global paragon of leftism George Soros (both donated to Gillum’s campaign).

Communism makes as much sense as Ocasio-Cortez does! That’s why it fails every time it rears its ugly head! Liberalism is a mental deranged disorder. Pelosi, The pope, Acosta,Hillary, Comey, Whoopi,etc Vote Republican in November to save our great country!
This may be good news because a radical like Gillum will be easier to beat.
Well, why not. When everyone is dependent on everyone else, nobody has any worries. Life is good.
I prefer to be ‘dependent’ on MYSELF, thank you.
This is not good. The American people are not voting with educated information. An uneducated voter is the worst kind of voter. Please, you need to know the facts on who is the good politician or the bad one. Vote with intelligent. Please investigate before you vote. Thank you.
I suspect that there are a lot of Illegals in Florida who are voting.
Or where the software that counts our votes comes from.
