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...
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.
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!!
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/
Actually, there’s a substantial percentage of the American population that wants to turn the nation into Venezuela.
Floridians, stock up on toilet paper.
I like this approach, but BE SPECIFIC. Inform voters that Obama was a big fan of Maduro and Chaves because they implemented the "Progressive" policies that Democrats support, and want to bring here, that would make us into Venezuela.
Chaves implemented:
wealth redistribution through "land reform" (take land from the rich, give some of it to the poor)... overspent on social programs... tripled their budget deficits... prices controls (especially who pays what for food)... wage controls (like minimum wage increases)... government projects and missions (as opposed to private sectors creating businesses and jobs)... government housing (Habitat Mission)... government grocery store (Mission Mercal)... urban agriculture programs... nationalize several industries (construction, phone, electricity, steel, rice processing, coffee processing, and some major banks)... and, of course, rising tax rates.
Maduro economic policies:
guaranteed healthcare as both a human and constitutional right... Government control of healthcare supplies (within months, 88% were undersupplied)... restricts access to the US dollar (causing many international firms to stop doing businesses in Venezuela)... Nationalized Pepsi and Nestle factories and warehouses, for government redistribution centers... raised gas prices during the economic collapse...
It reads like a Nancy Pelosi speech or an Obama victory rally.
DeSantis has chosen his LT Governor (a nearly useless office in FL) running mate, outgoing State Rep. Jeanette Nuzez, a close ally of Marco Rubio, who convinced her to take the job after she begged off. Allegedly she tweeted against Trump back before the Florida primary with silly allegations but the tweet must have been deleted.
Puerto Rican Orlando-area Rep. Bob Cortes was considered a strong contender but the party feared losing his State House seat if he had vacated that race.
