The president's called me a thief...

"The president’s called me a thief -- if I'm stealing anything, it's hearts and minds. We’re going to win that race, frankly, because of that reason." – Andrew Gillum, Democratic nominee in Florida’s gubernatorial race, says on @Morning_Joe

But I am crossing my fingers that Gillum wins. He is an intelligent, sophisticated man, and a Democratic leader......glad he is on our side! I going to be sure I have a lot of wine available on election night and take a drink for every Democratic win. I could have a hangover for days afterward.

waters... yet were always more in favor of all the jet skiers and water sports enthusiasts. And no matter how irresponsiblly they build and try to wreck their state, Florida is still so amazingly beautiful. . And yet, there seemed to be so little environmental consciousness when I lived there. Maybe its about time for the tide to turn ( no pun intended)

It would be so amazing if FL lead the way in regard to environmentalism, which makes so much sense really.

Call his bluff.
Tell him that both of you will show your tax returns for the past ten years.

Wanna’ bet he’s a no-show?

....for pete's sake throw it back in his face! Yet, Gullum is a decent guy and not playing the attack game...who just said the guy in WH just wants pelea, a fight; it's about the fight--I believe it was Jon Stewart..he's right--yet, there is also a time to defend ones self.

Hell what do I know...I'm just tired of the nonstop racist hate propaganda of guy in WH..this when they go low we go high is bullshit..didn't work in 2016-- imo it's elitist and smug and it doesn't address when you are up against a bully, and republican hate propaganda aparatus. I'm with the ...when they go low, hit harder group. I suppose Gullum is doing what works for him. I pray he wins--Godspeed sir, Godspeed.

It is simply amazing to me the amount of corruption we need to fight against. We have Russians and alt right people making these false claims about Gillum, and the deplorables believe those lies outright. The deplorables retweet the videos and articles, making the Russians' job that much easier.



I'm sick to my stomach how tenuous our hold on democracy is right now.

Way to go, Mr. Gillum..........you are much smarter than DJT. I'll bet he's never ever read one book in his life!! I'm from Minnesota but if I were in Florida, I'd definitely vote for you. I think you are great!! I had to go back in and edit because I'm so proud you are showing DJT and others like him some other way besides name calling and lies. It's so nice there are decent people running for offices, our country needs that.
