Sunday, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), the GOP Florida gubernatorial nominee, discussed his Democratic opponent Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum and predicted the far-left candidate for governor would turn the Sunshine State into Venezuela if elected.
“This Andrew Gillum, he is on the far-left socialist fringe. He’s a Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez-type of candidate. He wants to raise taxes in Florida 40 percent, he wants a single-payer healthcare system in Florida, which would bankrupt the state, he wants to abolish ICE and doesn’t believe in doing any type of immigration enforcement,” DeSantis told New York AM 970 radio “The Cats Roundtable” host John Catsimatidis.
DeSantis told Catsimatidis that Gillum “would make Florida uncompetitive” and “repel” investment if he raised taxes.

I will be voting for DeSantis and not some criminal Socialist
MAGA
There are lucky people in Florida who got out of Venezuela and can tell the locals if they’re willing to listen what that place is like.
No monkeying around with socialism in Florida!
Guillem is a communist. Ask him!!
DeSantis is the real deal Florida.
Vote!
It is all the left has to “offer”. It is what they are...
But then, of course, he would have been excoriated at the national level, so probably wise to not do so.
Why doesn’t Spicoli just surf on down.......permanently?
FatBoi can float his way
That (Wants to turn Florida into Venezuela) is a REALLY good line. It immediately got my attention. In essence, as a Socialist, that is what Gilliam wants to work for.
He may not really understand the direct link himself.
Michael Moore, arm in arm with ‘El Diablo’. (The Devil!).
Good hard hit. Should be the argument used against every Democrat in the 2018 election.
The amusing irony is that neither socialists, nor leftist extremists, nor most Democrats realize how much socialism is detested by the American populace. Socialism REQUIRES government control of YOUR money, your purchases, your salary, your business, and the denial of your freedom. Once people understand that, they won’t vote for it.
Thus, by supporting socialism, they are undermining the Democrat party.

"Gillum! Gillum! *cough cough* Gollum! Gollum!"
They have monkeys in Venezuela. That’s racist!!
The point here is this socialist began hitting DeSantis for his backing of Trump from day one. That, plus he got an upset win with a big constituency in the schools, you know, the little know nothings who think socialism is a great thing because they will not have to pay back those student loans. Gilliam makes it a bit tougher for Scott to unseat Nelson because he will draw 90% of the black vote; all of the single white women who love what he says about medicaid/medicare for all, AND probably most importantly the group for pro legal marijuana which he supports. IOW, make Florida a socialist sewer.
Gillum is going to get skunked.
He has proposed a new "Confederation of States" to fund his Medicare for all scheme.
Besides being tone-deaf on the wording, he apparently doesn't see the irony of his proposal for a new confederacy coming from a black in the South.
Rise of the New Confederacy! /s/
