Is it possible to dream for a Blue wave in Florida??

1. 👍👍

[brooklynite]

2. In ONE poll...with a 3.5% margin of error.

And in the same poll, DeSantis was ahead by 7, so, no wave.

[Demsrule86]

23. The trend is in our favor...and it matters...both of the candidates were down by more than a

little mere weeks ago.

[certainot]

39. would be a massive dem wave if dens stopped ignoring republican radio which, in fla, is huge

democrats give the cons such a huge advantage

take just the 20 x limbaugh stations that depend on 5 Fla unis to keep broadcasting sports on them.

FLORIDA 20 Florida 10, Florida St. 4 Miami 2, South Florida 2, Central Florida 2

as soon as dems howl about that, get attention to it, advertisers will flee. GOP Will freak out and spew "FREE SPEECH!!!" bullshit and make it worse.

if GOP would pay $1000/hr x 15 hrs/day x 5 days a week, 20 stations = $1.5/week FREE with assholes like dan bongino screaming about the 'liberal deep state' and all of them selling "global warming is a hoax" while waters rise in fla and hurricanes line up.

that $1.5M worth of free time every week is being spent to reelect every insane republican running and where the local blowhards can't kiss the asses of shits like egrets they can always use their megaphones to attack and lie about their opponents.

that's why republicans are even close, and we let 87 universities support and endorse 260+ of stations like that, all kissing trump's ass.

44. THIS!!!! +++1,000,000!!!

That's a HUGE part of the problem in this country! Plus...

IN ALL THE PRISONS, 24/7 is Fux Nooz pumping all those neo nazis full of their bullshit.
IN ALL THE MILITARY BASES 24/7 is Fux Nooz pumping all those soldiers full of LIES about the country they're trying to protect.

We need to form a new PAC to get this shit stopped.

[certainot]

45. if you know how to form a PAC toward that aim

i might be able to help!

[BComplex]

46. I don't know how to form a PAC. But SOMEBODY on DU is bound to know how!

Calling DUers who know how to form a PAC!!!!

[Mike Nelson]

3. Yabba dabba do!

... go, Val!

[Demsrule86]

25. I love her...hubs like Kamala but he really wanted Val for VP.

[Lunabell]

4. Way to go Democrats!

We CAN do this! Now do desatan!

[Demsrule86]

26. Yup, his latest scheme is to unite the Communist to take on NATO...unbelieveable.

[TomSlick]

5. From your lips to God's ears.

[3Hotdogs]

22. From my keyboard,

to God's eyeballs.

[Demsrule86]

27. Yes We can!

[TomSlick]

28. I like it.

That's my new reply.

[brer cat]

6. Put it away, Val!

[Demsrule86]

30. If anyone can do, Val Demmings can do it.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

7. Florida sucks, 20 years of elections shenanigans

I would love to see little marco lose, I don't trust the repubs who run Florida.

[questionseverything]

8. I don't either

Repubs own the companies that built the counting machines, they program the machines, then they tell us what the machines said and hand counts are illegal in Florida

[RANDYWILDMAN]

10. Democratic candidates have led polls for years in Florida

and never end up winning any of these close elections.

Can't be a coincidence

If Marco loses to Demings his head will explode and that would be fun though

[questionseverything]

13. Years ago, I joined du to promote a book , richard charmon wrote

About how of the last 163 times that the opposite party won, even outside the margin of error, 159 of those times it was repubs winning and only 3 times was it democrats winning under those circumstances

Richard was a math geek and had calculated how unlikely it was that repubs nearly always benefited

I wish i had the skills to go back and find that post

I too hope val beats the odds

[Demsrule86]

32. We can only hope...and work to GOTV. We do have women who are going to turn out in

gerrymandered areas...if enough of them do...the gerrymander is destroyed...I saw it in Georgia when the Dem's gerrymander fell...yes we had them...but the GOP's are much worse.

[liberalla]

9. Getting rid of rubio would be so great! GO VAL!!!

GO VAL!!!

[BlackSkimmer]

11. That would be fantastic.

I wish I still lived there just so I could vote for her.

[Demsrule86]

33. I wish I could vote for her too. But am hoping my vote for Tiim Ryan gives Ohio two Democratic

Senators.

[lpbk2713]

12. Best news I've heard today.

[Demsrule86]

34. I was psyched too.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Val is the real deal. Rubio is deplorable on a good day.

[Demsrule86]

35. He is completely deplorable. I can't stand him.

[Evolve Dammit]

41. 62,000! Sweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Yes!!!

[IronLionZion]

16. Make Florida Blue Again

[Cha]

17. GOTV 4 VAl Demmings & 🤞🤞🤷‍♂️

[peppertree]

18. Little Narco will have to go back to handling Colombian drug money

Oh, well. It' s a living.

[dchill]

37. If he ever really stopped.

[peppertree]

43. Exactamundo

And his top baker, Cayman Islands vulture fundie Paul Singer, is a suspected money launderer.

Keeps it all in-house, you know?

[elleng]

19. ;-)

[H2O Man]

20. Recommended.

This is really great. Rep. Demings is outstanding. Some time ago, my cousin called and asked if I thought he should donate to her campaign. I said yes, definitely.

[progressoid]

21. Races called correctly by University of North Florida : 40%

[bronxiteforever]

24. Kick & recommend.

[lonely bird]

29. Oh, please, oh, please

Please let that smarmy gutless turd get his ass kicked.

[ZonkerHarris]

31. Send lawyers, guns, and money

[allegorical oracle]

36. Voted for her in the primary today whether she needed it or not...

[SlimJimmy]

38. The used registered voters

Until I see a poll with likely voters my joy will be muted.

[budkin]

40. I'm psyched but this is clearly an outlier

Rubio's led in every single poll.

[DFW]

42. Sounds like a very wishful thinking poll, but better this than the other way around

Maybe I need to play this for myself more often!

[onetexan]

47. K&R!!
