In reply to the discussion: Cynthia Nixon and Andrew Gillum ROCK. We need more like them. [View all]DinahMoeHum
(23,319 posts)9. True, dat. Cynthia Nixon is no Andrew Gillum.
I also watched the debate last night and there were times I thought I stumbled onto the
NYC Mayor's debate instead of the statewide Governor's one.
Unlike Nixon, Andrew Gillum is an experienced legislator and executive, being mayor of Tallahassee.
Mayors and governors are executive positions, coordinating the work of representational legislators (city council, state assembly, state senate, etc.) This is especially true for governors and their legislatures, whose decisions affect the whole of their state.
And as such, a governorship is not a place for political novices like Cynthia Nixon.
She is way out of her depth here. If she garners more then 35% of the vote September 13, it will be a miracle.

That is a derogatory term that only serves to divide and hurt us as a party.
