As a democrat he has enhanced his resume.
Demonrats are degenerates right off the bat, and their constituents and media enable them.
It’s a misnomer to say Mark Sanford “rebounded.” He never really did and never recovered his reputation. He managed to win 3 more House races against subpar opposition, but by unimpressive margins and was a shadow of the leader he once was before becoming Governor. He became embittered against the President and became a vicious NeverTrumper, and that caused his loss for renomination in 2018. His sour grapes post-primary also helped the Dems to capture the seat for the first time in 40 years.
This would be quite a scandal to come back from! :)
in fact, it involved multiple crimes
Gollum is done. Being caught naked in a hotel room with a White Man Whore while claiming to be a family man does not sell with either Blacks or Latinos and they were his base of support. He’s just an object of ridicule now.
Biden’s Vice-President
The difference between him and slime like Marion Berry, Bwarney Fwank, etc. is they stayed in power by holding office in super safe RAT regions of the country that would elect Satan himself if he had a "D" next to his name on the ballot.
Gillem was a statewide candidate in the hotly contested swing state of Florida. I think there is zero chance of him ever being a viable candidate statewide again, or being tapped as a RAT veep candidate, or anything else substantial like that. Same reason Ted Kennedy may have been elected as a U.S. Senator from Taxachuttes indefinitely, but was a non-starter as a Presidential candidate in the post-Chappaquidick era.
After this all dies down and he lays low for a few years, I could see him making a "comeback" the same way impeached, convicted, and disgraced former federal judge Alcee Hastings of Florida did... by running for Congress or something in a super safe RAT district, where being a gay methhead will be a resume enhancer in the primary.
But that would be a "comeback" the same way Mark Sanford had a "comeback". Personally I think the only one who felt Sanford was now "redeemed" in the eyes of the public was Sanford himself. As you noted, people only held their noses for him because they didn't want the RAT to win a strongly GOP district, his congressional career was short lived, and his Presidential campaign was likewise a non-starter even though he was the ONLY Trump primary opponent actually running a "serious" campaign and talking about the issues.
If I had to bet money, my gut feeling is Gillem won't even be able to pull off an Alcee Hastings type "comeback"... in a decade he will probably be where Jim McGreevey is now.
YGTBSM! This is nothing but a powerful resume enhancer among Progtard DildoCrats. One could almost believe it was planned.
Has his wife filed yet?
[[What’s Next For Andrew Gillum?]]
Surgery to repair prolapsed colon?
I'm sure Sanford is only there to put one Republican in with the four Democrats, and that in order to keep the author cocktail-party eligible with his lefty Democrat friend group.
Gillum was never really elevated to the level of a Protected One. Those guys cited in that article were much better established than Gillum. I think the party will abandon him. There are other blacks in Florida that they can tokenize.
You’d think she will file soon. I don’t know how anybody could tolerate their spouse making a fool of them publicly like that - not to mention whatever diseases he could bring home.
Wait, rebounded from “worse” scandals? I know that’s just the stupid headline that the article author probably didn’t choose but let’s look at that, first I’ll note it’s hilarious we are now at the point where we anticipate a possible comeback mere DAYS after the scandal breaks.
Kennedy, killed someone, ok that’s worse, but I agree with Billy, staying Senator for life of MA wasn’t any kinda “rebound”
Newsom, screwed some ‘married’ skank? I didn’t even know that, no one cares.
Sanford? Him cheating on his wife doesn’t even compare to Gillum doing meth and having sex with male prostitutes, possibly bringing AIDS home to his wife. Give me a break. But I would indeed say he rebounded in that he won a competitive election to return to Congress.
Barney Fag, again like Kennedy there was no “rebound” he merely survived at his current level in a safe seat. He wasn’t married or doing meth so his scandal isn’t as bad as Gillum’s.
Marion Barry, ok. Let’s just call that a push, worse drug habit but no rent boys. Now did he “rebound”? I’d say sure, it’s not like he didn’t have competition running for Mayor, it’s the not the same thing as Kennedy and Frank staying in Congress.
So that’s one scandal around the same level where someone “rebounded”.
Could Gillum become Mayor again? Or win a Black Congressional or legislative seat? I think not, the drugs are one thing but Blacks don’t respect homos, apparently an openly gay Black man was elected to state House in PA from Philly, but I’d bet plenty of voters didn’t know, and he’s not a meth head too, nor is he having sex with prostitdudes while pretending to be a family man.
Maybe he could still get hired by CNN 5 years from now if anyone still gives a damn about him which probably isn’t likely, but he won’t hold office again unless he moves to Provincetown MA or something, they might think a Methhead Fag with dark skin is cute and adopt him. Super liberal Whites are the only people that would elect him again.
I’m sure he could make a lot of money writing or speaking about being “on the down low” but that’s only if he comes out of the closet.
He’s a homosexual black meth-head, so the obvious career choice is co-hosting a show with Jussee Smollett. Kathy Griffin could do the voiceover announcing.
Didn’t an Illinois congressional candidate (dem) win election WHILE IN PRISON?
How do you pay a dead boy for sex? Just morbidly curious.
Plus, LGB is yesterday’s news.
He needs to get ahead of the curve and get elected as a transgender.
The ultimate master was ted Kennedy, he killed a young women and became a life long mega rat senator so the possibilities are promising for a##chaps, thankfully it wasn’t heterosexual or he would not have a chance in hell for a comback
4 out of the 5 are dim-0s. Sounds about right. The only Republican was Mark Sanford, and all he did was whore around. With WOMEN! The way nature intended.
I was going to start reading “War and Peace” but found this ping instead.

I think the James Woods Twitter post said it well.
