on September 02, 2018

The left's enthusiasm about Bernie-backed Andrew Gillum Winning the Florida Governor Democrat primary may be misplaced. Because his primary opponents were focused on President Trump, not on the Tallahassee mayor who seemed such a long-shot, Gillum sailed through the primary unscathed. This will not be the case in his race against Republican Ron DeSantis, and the DeSantis team will have a lot to work with.

Eulogies At Aretha Franklin’s Funeral Spark Controversy
on September 01, 2018
52 Comments
