@GoBlueFlorida1 @Leamander1 @TheRickWilson @Disney @nytimes @GovRonDeSantis @RonDeSantisFL @ChristinaPushaw @FloridaGOP @JoeGruters @ChrisMZiegler @flcourts @RepGThompson @FlaDems @Manny_A_Diaz Back in 2018, @FlaDems chose @AndrewGillum over @GwenGraham.

Had they known back then what everyone knows now, perhaps not.

@browarddems didn’t review the draft @BrowardVotes @Brenda4SOE November 2018 General Election ballot early enough.

There may have been other problems in Broward County, re the proper password to submit recount results, etc.

Not good.

Alcee Hastings (D-FL-20) responsibly announced in @washingtonpost his pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

He should not have sought re-election. Perhaps @HouseDemocrats @FlaDems urged him to retire, perhaps not. He ran again.

@Sheila4Congress challenged him.

@GovRonDeSantis already displayed dictatorial tendencies, so it was no surprise he delayed scheduling the Special Election.

This should not have been necessary.

Again, the Governor deliberately took his time and left those communities unrepresented.

Unfortunately, @BrowardVotes and @votepalmbeach didn’t help.

Too easy.

Not helpful at all.

Not good at all; no tears when they left after losing the election.

The Trump campaign gave away free yard signs at least in competitive states.

The @JoeBiden didn’t do yard signs as soon as he became the clear nominee; local Democratic clubs made their own.

This made no sense, as @AnnaForFlorida may recall, as Biden Harris yard signs can supplement the initial Biden yard signs.

Self-inflicted.

June 12, 2020 filing deadline

July

August

September

October?

Answer: Never

Soft bigotry of low expectations?

Finally, the @JoeBiden drive-in rallies in #Florida made little sense, as the audience were maxed-out donors.

They should put @Los3delaHabana on retainer for next time.

Very inspiring; @FlaDems could learn from them, or just keep them quiet.

And so it goes . . . .
