They keep calling Mills “Trump-backed Cory Mills.” When was the last time Trump even talked about him? February?

The Puke-faced Russki, Flounder Vindman got his ass whipped. MADE MY DAY!!! Good, now he can go home to Russia. Treasonous bastard who tried to bring down the President of the United States while the bastard was posing as an officer in the U.S. Army.

The colored folks should have rallied behind one candidate. As it turned out, they split the colored vote 6 ways. Washer-Woman Shultz skipped to an easy finish.

You forgot your {sarc} tag. Byron is a transplanted former Democrat New York City nothing with a criminal record. I keep saying Florida is a blue lady wearing a red dress. But no one listens to me. Now you have proof. The women again voting with their “you-know-what”. Collins is a decorated veteran. With major honors. What a f’n disgrace.

Thank you very much. And to me, the Soviet Union was always a bunch of stinking Russkis.

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, the Democrat Rep. who was INDICTED for allegedly stealing and laundering $5 million in FEMA funds, just LOST her primary race.

She only got 9% of the vote.

Bye bye

Collins is a good man but his position as lieutenant governor did not provide much of a launching pad. Nor did Collins offer issues to define and galvanize his campaign. His ads instead touted him as if he was running for class president.

The attacks on Byron Donalds for youthful misconduct did not gain traction because he had a creditable record as an adult in state and federal office, in business, and as a family man.

Ukraine was not independent when Vindmen was born.

Don’t confuse the issue with facts or the window lockers will melt down.
