Breitbart ^ | July 22, 2018 | Jeff Poor

JACKSONVILLE, Florida – With just over a month to go until Florida Republicans vote to select their nominee for the governor’s race, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is pulling ahead of Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, according to recent polling data. Past polling showed DeSantis trailing Putnam by a wide margin. One poll from June 21, conducted by Fox News, had DeSantis down by 15 points.

This month’s polling, however, shows the trend is decidedly in DeSantis’ favor. A survey from Remington Research conducted July 2-5 has DeSantis up 17 points. Another survey conducted by pollster Tony Fabrizio has DeSantis up 12 points.

As far as I can tell, the only thing Putnam has done is being an elected official. He seems to be popular across party lines to some extent. I personally would prefer DeSantis so it should be interesting.

All of the Democrats running appear to be real creeps.

Yes! Glad to see this. I would really hate voting for Putnam for governor. I think DeSantis can whip the Dem and I’ll be voting for him in our primary.

But 4 plus more years of the wretched Rubio is an unhappy thought.

I hope so and pray for POTUS to win the midterms so he can REALLY start going after these political turds called Demonrats and clean out the upper echelons of gooberment and try and get this country back!!! He can’t do it alone. He needs us to hold our noses and give the Republicans majorities in the Congress. Perhaps that way the real, Trump supporting Conservatives can weed out the elites and never Trumpers. Got to give them a chance and we might see big heads roll in the coming years.

“””As far as I can tell, the only thing Putnam has done is being an elected official”””


Putnam’s adult life as a politician is similar to another Floridian:

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Born-—September 27, 1966
In 1988, Wasserman Schultz became an aide to Florida House Rep. Peter Deutsch (D)
Florida State House of Representatives 1992 to 2000
Florida State Senate November 7, 2000 – November 2, 2004
U.S. House of Representatives from Florida’s 23rd district 2005 to present

Adam Putnam
Born: Jul 31, 1974
Florida House November 5, 1996 – November 7, 2000
US House January 3, 2001 – January 3, 2011
Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture, elected in 2010

Putnam is nothing but a butt kisser of Jeb Bush. Desantis will easily defeat Putnum in the Florida Primary election, being held next month.

DeSantis is a Trumpie, Trump has endorsed DeSantis...so, get out and cast your votes for Ropn DeSantis the nex Governor of the great state of Florida.

And..as a side bar, you good folks in Georgia, get out and cast your votes for Brian Kemp, also, endorsed by POTUS, DJT, this coming Tuesday, July 24, 2018 in a primary runoff election!!!

Lib media going after him over comments he made about that pinko in NY. Calling her “that girl Osacio-Cortez or whatever she is”.

He clearly meant “whatever her name is”.
