First debate between Ron DeSantis and Andrew Gillum this Sunday in Tampa
Tampa Bay Times ^ | 10/18/2018 | Emily Mahoney

"After the earlier debate was cancelled by Gillum, Sunday evening will be voters' first chance to see them go head-to-head."

" Finally, this weekend brings Floridians' first opportunity to see the two candidates for governor, Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum, go head-to-head in a debate.

The details: it's happening in Tampa at 8 p.m., in the local PBS studio. Voters can watch the debate, likely moderated by Jake Tapper, on CNN.

Previously, there had been three debates scheduled between the candidates. A Telemundo debate in Orlando was supposed to take place on Tuesday, Oct. 16, but Gillum cancelled, saying he needed to focus on recovery efforts post-Hurricane Michael until Thursday.

After Sunday, that just leaves the Oct. 24 debate in Davie, hosted by Leadership Florida and the Florida Press Association. That one will be broadcast on live local stations across the state."

These debates could decide the election. Our extremely liberal and biased Florida Supreme Court just ruled that the next Governor (not Rich Scott) will get to immediately appoint THREE NEW SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

SOROS is funding Gillum. Not just a little, but tons of cash. Soros loves the guy, and is all in. Gillum is a Soros puttpet, and an extreme pinko SJW commie rat basturd.

That means SOROS will appoint 3 new Supreme Court Justics if Gillum wins. Then goodbye gun rights, hello anti-cop rulings. Taxes out the wazoo. It will destroy Florida, and change the friken whole country.

Hard to believe the socialist as a chance. Fla. is most important.

I’m going to tell you that Gillum is not going to win if the rural and suburban parts of Florida have anything to say about it. The rednecks are seriously fired up about this election. I think you’ll see record turnout on the Republican side of the fence in Florida.

Gillum ran out on the Telemudo debate because he
was going to get exposed as socialists which is bad news in the latin community .

He used the Hurricane as a Excuse .

His latin support must be diving .
Plus Desantis is latin and speaks spanish . I am glad Desantis has attack ads flying on latin tv .

Soros dumped a ton of cash into the primary contest, near the end. Gillum came from nowhere and beat Graham, who was totally expected to win. Her family has been in FL politics for a century.

Then Gillum wins. Big stealth grassroots organization, with all the usual suspects behind him. Kinda like the Occasional-Cortez chic.

He is still flying under the radar, and needs to be completely exposed as the Soros surrogate he is.

I like Ron DeSantis, but don’t see him as a fighter, particularly a street fighter. He’s gonna need to find a pair, put on his big boy undies and come out swinging or he’ll be seen as a pussy afraid to offend the “African-American”...

Bernie came to campaign for Gillum that’s how he got exposure to win. I hope Bernie doesn’t come back and rally for him before the election. Lots of college kids and liberal transplants here. Ugh.
