Gillum needs to win the debate tonight. One slip could cost him and us. I remember in 2010

Alex Sink was ahead by a small percent in the polls. She flubbed a question about the cost of milk or bread or something. And then during a break her hair stylist showed her a cell phone image which was against the rules. From that night on the polls shifted toward Red Tide Rick.

Go Gillum!

Nope. DeSantis needs to win the debate. Gillum has a real lead. MaryMagdaline Oct 2018 #1

African Americans must work twice as hard for the same respect as a white person, unfortunately. White privilege is at work here. A “tie” might be viewed as a “loss” for Gillum.

Her assistant showed her something on her phone - a big no-no - and pRick Scott said she was cheating. She never recovered after that.

I thought Gillum was the better debater last night. He came with facts and honesty. DeRacist was just there to be mini-Trump. It was rather pathetic if you ask me

I thought there was too much cheering for Destainist but at least the cheers were louder for Gillum.

"Now, I'm not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist, I'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist."
