Trump dragged up old storms and was bragging about Fema which the left wing media were laying in wait .

Get over it .
The topic is a dead end ..
No one cares .

[bmwcyle]

Polls are as phony as news.

“The topic is a dead end. No one cares.”

I’m so grateful you’re here to decree what people should care about, and when a topic is over. Thank you so much! (Get some sleep.)

Ridiculous! And untrue.

Don’t you read the papers? They were hammering him on Maria for at least a week before he responded to them. Check out The Guardian datelines on their endless stories.

DeSantis and Scott embarrassed themselves with their responses which gave comfort to a LIE.

What either candidate could have said was that:
Any number of deaths in the after math of a hurricane is too many. We need to standardize our analysis of these types of disasters so we can take preventive steps in the future. We need to agree on numbers of deaths but more importantly we need to agree on causes of these deaths. If poor infrastructure is to blame then we need to work on modernizing all our states so that these kinds of deaths can be avoided where at all possible.

DeSantis not only could have said that, he should have said that. Not because it would be the politically smart thing to do (which it would be), but because that's exactly the sort of useful, level-headed analysis a capable and qualified leader comes up with instinctively and authentically.

Brilliant responses! Instead, they panicked like little girls.

I still hope that they win bigly.

Quite true. Polls can be pushed to get the desired result.

DeSantis is not a highly skilled and experienced politician. He was elected congressman from a safe district. He needs to get smart and do that quickly. Gillum is a good talker. He is probably the better debater.

Scott on the other hand has won statewide election, and has very good name recognition in Florida. He will give a tough fight to incumbent senator Nelson.

The panhandle usually comes through for the Republican.

[Frank_2001]

DeSantis had better get going, indeed! If that Commie Gillum gets elected, he WILL campaign for a FL state income tax, and you can BET on that!!!!

Haven’t you noticed how they vote for leftists in spite of it all? I don’t understand it, but they do.
