Good, informed post.
Truth be known, a lot of Dems are probably very disappointed that he won the primary.
What is left of the olde guard “pork chop gang” democrat (white elitist) machine in FL supported Gwen Graham, former Sen. Bob Graham’s daughter (Bob Graham, son of the family that owned the Wa Po for decades, btw— the same Wa Po the see eye aaaa gave 600Mill to Jeff Bezos/Amazon to buy at a fire sale price- so the same three letter agency could continue to staff the writers and editors with their mouthpiece “journalists”. See how that has worked all these years?). Bob Graham married into the MacArthur Dairy (major FL dairy/cattle business) to become...a “Floridian”- oh, and he chaired...at one time the Senate Intel Committee (corrupt as hell).
So, yeah— the dems who aren’t total commies in FL— were horrified by Gillum (they were that way when the dude won the mayor of Tallahassee— sort of like a Willie Brown/Kamala Harris type of development, since these idiots think FL is California. They were horrified Gwen Graham didn’t win— because, truth be told she’d have been a much better candidate vs. either former Ag Secretary Putnam, or the former JAG officer to the SEALs and trump man.
But FL ain’t California (global change, fruits and nuts and whineries).
BTW- reminded of this the other day— Florida translates from the Spanish as “Land of Flowers”. California translates to.... “Hot Furnace” Cali— fornia. Global warming must have featured in the desert state when the Spaniards named it.
