Unrelated.
The Miami Herald has endorsed for the GOP nomination for Ros-Rinochen’s House seat, some lady who says she saw a UFO. Her campaign is not only broke but actually in debt according to Open Secreats. This is a foul attempt to trick GOP voters into nominating an unelectable candidate.
The rat frontrunner seems to be Donna Shalala. It seems almost certain the rat nominee will not be Hispanic let alone Cuban, which could be of help to us.
Yeah, I saw that endorsement of a nutjob.
Longtime TV news anchor María Elvira Salazar is the GOP frontrunner:
She is Cuban, attractive, eloquent (obviously), pro-life and pro-Israel. She’s probably a squish on immigration, but in a district that gave Trump 39% I’m not going to insist upon a Ron DeSantis.
Speaking of Cuban Republicans, my longshot pickup opportunity in Florida is Carlos Reyes in FL-23. https://www.carlosreyesforcongress.com/ That’s the CD held by former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz (the one that had to resign right before the 2016 Democrat National Convention because it came out that she had rigged the primary process for Hillary), and while Trump was held to 35.8% (and Romney to 38% in 2012), the Democrats are poised to split their vote between two candidates and Reyes can get a larger share of the growing Hispanic vote in Broward County and win with 35%-40%. Apart from Democrat nominee DWS (she’s running unopposed for the nomination), liberal Democrat Tim Canova, who did very well against DWS in the 2016 primary, will be on the GE ballot as an independent (there’s also another independent, but he’ll be a non-factor). If Canova can get 40$ of the Democrat vote, Reyes can pull off the upset.
Of course, Reyes first needs to win tomorrow’s primary. His main primary rival is Carla Spalding, who is a nurse and a Navy veteran (good) and a “Realtor” (not so good). http://vote4carlaspalding.com/ Spalding is black, relatively conservative, and has a sexy-nurse thing going for her if her website photos are any indication, but FL-23 may not be the best fit for her. Of course, I never thought that the old FL-22 was a good fit for Allen West, and he won it in 2010, so who knows?
It would be too delicious for words if, after all of these months of media reports of a “Blue (sic) Wave,” the GOP picked up the U.S. Senate seat in FL and actually picked up one net seat in the House from FL.
