Why is DeSantis still running for governor? He must quit. Not fit to run.

[deminks]

George Allen had to leave the race after his macaca moment.

He must be held accountable.

1. If you look at DeSantis' face you can tell he is a total fraud.

[marylandblue]

2. In the age of Trump, there are no more disqualifying gaffs

But maybe he will turn a lot of voters off.

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. That is horrifyingly true.

I am hoping the same.

[Cosmocat]

5. For REPUBLICANS

there pretty much is nothing they can say or do - see Hunter, Duncan.

7. It's starting to go that way for Democrats too

There are corruption charges pending against the City of Tallahassee. Not directly affecting Gillum so far, but in the past it still would have scuttled his primary bid early on. Now, it barely registers as an issue. And now that he is our candidate, if I were in Florida I'd vote for him even if he were indicted.

8. The media did bring up Gillum's "baggage" early on which appeared to hurt his chances.

Then Jeff Greene stepped up his negative tv ads/mailers against both Graham and Levine.

To Gillum's credit he did campaign throughout the state, took his message to the voters rather than relying too heavily on television or mailers.

3. maybe best

if he stays... the blowback will make it more likely that Gillum wins

[Bettie]

6. He's a Republican

he can say anything he wants and stay in a race.

He could kill someone on camera and his party would still stand behind him.

The people we're dealing with have no line they won't cross.

9. and Trent Lott was held accountable too, but those days are done. This is by design.

[peekaloo]

11. I agree. Making "liberal heads explode" is a sport for these people.

[peekaloo]

10. I'd prefer to see people stiffen their spines, vote and kick his ass out.

[magicarpet]

12. What was formerly considered obscene and over the top...

.... has become acceptable and normalized, "Oh that's no big deal - so what ?".

The stench of backed up raw sewage and cesspool slime has washed over our political system - we can only thank trDump for this new reality.

The White Trash White House, brought to you by the trDump Criminal Syndicate.

13. George Allen didn't leave the race.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. What? Allen didn't "leave the race". He was defeated and if I remember

correctly. Not by much.
