It looks like it is clown show time here in Florida. I hope there are debates. She can explain how great things are in Cuba.

Just watch... just like clockwork, the media will be trotting out a poll showing Nixon winning, or at the very least, highly competitive in the Florida senate race.

I think, outside of the media, that everyone knows what Alex Vindman is. The democrats may get the Socialists out to vote, but they aren’t going to get reasonable people to vote for Vindman.

Nixon was the underdog all the way. She was elected to the Florida state House in 2020. Vindman chose to skip debates and let the money and endorsements get him over the line.

Reminds me of another Nixon who ran in 1946 as a Republican for a seat in Congress from Southern California against Jerry Voorhis, a five-term Democrat incumbent. Nixon was the underdog, but Voorhis took his re-election for granted and was upset.

Thank you for the post!

It is clear that the DSA knows how to organize and get out the vote. To underestimate or ignore those skills can mean defeat for not only “Established” Demorats, but Republicans as well.

I saw first hand how the OBS, Organization of Black Students take over the student government at the University of Chicago in the fall of 1972. I think black undergraduate enrollment was only 5-10% of the student body. But they were well organized, nominated candidates for each position and got out the vote. Very few students voted in the elections and most who did were part of the OBS. As an aside I was elected to represent graduate students from I believe the social sciences. I stood next to a voting booth and as students came out of a large lecture hall, I asked them to vote for me. Many did and I won by a landslide!

So the traitor Vindman followed the Andrew Cuomo playbook? Don’t campaign and let others carry you over the finish line?

There were a total of 1,659,023 votes cast for Republicans of which 1,320,048 went to the winner Ashley Moody. For Democrats a total of 1,257,966 were cast with Nixon receiving 705,192 votes.

Looking at the numbers it should be clear that this will be a landslide victory for Moody and the Republicans. The DSA will suffer a humiliating loss...

How is it surprising that the far Left socialist would win a Democrat primary?

Democrat politicians win by promising their gullible voters other people’s money.

Democrat constituencies are comprised of all those stupid enough to believe whatever lie their candidates tell them.

Socialism is the ultimate lie.

None of this is surprising.

Vindman lost to Nixon mostly because, as a former state representative form Jacksonville, she is an minor but nevertheless genuine Florida political figure in a major metropolitan area with a following in local and state Democratic politics. In contrast, Vindman is a recent arrival to the state with a carpet bag full of cash.

Heard Nixon speaking last night - she sounds near illiterate.

Trump is not wrong:

“The most gratifying loss last night was that of a real treasonous creep, Alexander Vindman, to a Radical Left Lunatic, who can’t speak or think properly.”

Yes, a very gratifying loss. Ditto for Cori Bush.
