@CarlosGSmith Let me answer your question, how did we @FlaDems let it happen:

In 2018, @browarddems didn’t bother to check out the draft @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE General Election ballot early enough to fix any problems identified by such a standard review.

1/
@CarlosGSmith @FlaDems @browarddems @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE Thus, nobody fixed the ballot design flaw that caused a significant undervote in the Senate race that @SenBillNelson narrowly lost.

@FlaDems also passed on the electable @GwenGraham, as GOP passed on @adamputnam. Enough said.

Let’s go to @MiamiDadeDems in 2020.

2/
@CarlosGSmith @FlaDems @browarddems @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE @SenBillNelson @GwenGraham @adamputnam @MiamiDadeDems Nobody wants to ask @JoseJavierJJR when his team first checked out the #SD37 NPA mystery candidate’s claimed residence address:

June 12, 2020 filing deadline

July

August

September

October?

No subpoena required to knock on the door.

3/
@CarlosGSmith @FlaDems @browarddems @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE @SenBillNelson @GwenGraham @adamputnam @MiamiDadeDems @JoseJavierJJR As in #SD39, @Artiles40 should have recruited a bonafide resident of the district who paid his own filing fee.

@Scott_Maxwell may not like it, but #Florida must set qualifications that require candidates to campaign, e.g., signatures, not just a filing fee - too easy.

4/4

@TheRickWilson On the other hand, #FL20 was vacant for almost a year and it’s not clear that anyone noticed.

Seriously, then-Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL-20) in January 2019 responsibility announced his pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

He should not have sought re-election in 2020.

1/
@TheRickWilson @GovRonDeSantis’ character was already clear in mid-2019.

Maybe @FlaDems @browarddems @PBCDemParty urged him to retire, but in any event, he ran again in 2020, was renominated and re-elected, and, sadly, passed away in April 2021, less than 100 days in.

Not a surprise.

2/
@TheRickWilson @GovRonDeSantis @FlaDems @browarddems @PBCDemParty So, a long delay in @GovRonDeSantis scheduling the Special Election; @BrowardVotes and @votepalmbeach should have matched the August primary and November general elections elsewhere in #Florida for simplicity.

And similarly for the state legislators who resigned to run.

@stevesi28838948 @LuisMorenolg My best Secret Service story.

March on Washington 1963, 50th Anniversary, Wednesday, August 28, 2013.

Of course, President Obama would give a speech at the Lincoln Memorial, first planned late November 2008, confirmed late November 2012.

Not a pop-up.

1/
@stevesi28838948 @LuisMorenolg Federal property, less than a mile from the White House, etc.

I got to the Washington Monument grounds very early, to allow plenty of time to clear security.

How many magnetometers?

Seven or nine, cannot remember exactly.

Large crowds waiting to witness history.

2/
@stevesi28838948 @LuisMorenolg And it took forever to clear security, even after all those people showed up super early, etc.

So half the big crowd was still out of sight when the President actually spoke.

Frankly, there’s no excuse for that, both @SecretService and the @BarackObama Administration

@UncleArthur3 @NikkiFried @FloridaGOP didn’t steal anything in 2018 nor 2020.

@FlaDems lost, bigly.

@browarddems didn’t check the draft @BrowardVotes November 2018 General Election ballot to fix a ballot design flaw that caused a major undervote in the Senate race that @SenBillNelson narrowly lost.

1/
@UncleArthur3 @NikkiFried @FloridaGOP @FlaDems @browarddems @BrowardVotes @SenBillNelson In 2018, @FlaDems passed on @GwenGraham in favor of @AndrewGillum, last seen in circumstances that would have embarrassed #Florida.

@FloridaGOP similarly passed on @adamputnam for @RonDeSantisFL.

Choices have consequences.

2/
@UncleArthur3 @NikkiFried @FloridaGOP @FlaDems @browarddems @BrowardVotes @SenBillNelson @GwenGraham @AndrewGillum @adamputnam @RonDeSantisFL In 2020, @FlaDems were not fully supportive of uphill candidates in GOP-dominated districts, even though @NikkiFried offered to cover whatever was needed.

No Democratic name on the 2020 General Election ballot in #FL02 including Mexico Beach, hit by Hurricane Michael.

@keithedwards Important:

@JohnCornyn, as Texas Attorney General 2002-2003, refused to defend the Texas sodomy law - on the books today - the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas (2003).

Someone should ask him on the record why he wimped out.

1/
@keithedwards @JohnCornyn Also important:

@tedcruz, as Texas Solicitor General in 2003, also wimped out.

Someone should ask him why.

They both own Lawrence (2003), Windsor (2013), Obergefell (2015), and even Bostock (2020).

@kylegriffin1 @JohnCornyn was Texas Attorney General 2002-2003; he refused to defend the constitutionality of the Texas sodomy law - still on the books today - the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional in Lawrence v. Texas (2003).

1/
@kylegriffin1 @JohnCornyn Similarly, @tedcruz was Texas Solicitor General and also wimped out.

On the record, someone should ask each one why they refused to defend the constitutionality of the Law of Texas.

They both own Lawrence, Windsor (2013), Obergefell (2015), and even Bostock (2020).

@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer The others are certainly fine public servants, etc., but key for the institution - the House, @TheDemocrats - is to develop the next generation before they become like @SenFeinstein.

Quit while you’re ahead.

This concerns House leadership, not as a Member of Congress.

1/
@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @TheDemocrats If Nancy Pelosi runs for re-election in San Francisco, that’s up to her constituents.

But if @HouseDemocrats haven’t developed the next generation, well, that’s on them.

Quit while you’re ahead, and enjoy life as a distinguished states-person.

2/
@Maru_Mara76 @radleybalko @JoeBiden @SenFeinstein @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats Similarly for President @JoeBiden.

He should not seek re-election and @TheDemocrats should not nominate @KamalaHarris in 2024.

It’s time to pass the torch, before they drop it.

Senator Feinstein should not have sought re-election in 2018, but she did, and won.
