American Thinker: Andrew Gillum is the Democratic gubernatorial nominee for Florida. The following is from his “Economy and Jobs” webpage as it appeared as of October 19.)
Nearly half of Florida’s households struggle to make ends meet, and as the son of a bus driver and construction worker, Andrew knows firsthand what it’s like to have your parents choose between which bills to pay before a service gets cut off.
As Governor, he will address the devastating inequality that has hurt our working families, who are forced to live paycheck to paycheck and feel that the opportunity to get ahead isn’t available to them anymore.
This sounds really bad. But Gillum includes no numbers. Such as:
Florida leads the 10 largest states in job growth and has added 75,449 new businesses since December 2010, a 16.5% increase in private-sector employers[.] … As of June [2017,] [Gov. Scott added] 1,615,700 new private and public sector jobs … more than doubling his [campaign pledge of 700,000.] At 4.1%, unemployment in the state is at the lowest level since 2006 and lower than the 4.4% national rate, which itself is a 16-year low.
Gillum’s webpage continues: More here
Gillum really needs not to be inflicted on Florida. Among other things, he wants to up the corporate tax rate by over 40% (from 5.5% to 7.75%) making it the highest in the region. He tries to make it sound reasonable by pointing out that it wouldn’t be as high as California. BFD, moron!
Calling it now, he’ll be the next Governor and in 2 years all the idiots I work with will be complaining about the tax hike, jobs lost and their money not going as far, but will refuse the 2+2 when I mention they voted for him.
They couldn’t have found an uglier negro to run.

Oh, I dunno about that.
There’s the cowboy hat congressvermin Rep. Frederica Wilson.
another example of republicans running a ridiculously unappealing, unimaginative candidate against an easily beatable demonRat
… almost like they want to lose
“… almost like they want to lose”
I still give it a 50% chance that they’re SO swamp that they’re willing to scorch their own earth to neutralize Trump. For now, they ride his coattails but he’ll pass from the scene in 6 years regardless but the swamp will remain. All they have to do is wait him out, and whatever damage they let be done in the meantime, they can run on “fixing” it in future elections. It pays to be dedicated but trained opposition.
Remember the guy in Josey Wales with the two sided flag? Yeah.
Yes I’m cynical but I’ve earned it.
The bastard is lying his ass off in CNN debate with DeSantis now.
Andy’s brother voted illegally.
