She is the incumbent and ran unopposed. What is your problem?

Are you OK with Rick Scott and Matt Gaetz winning?

Putin's rigged the election and his stooge won as well. I see a pattern here.

She didn't win anything, she is the incumbent and was unopposed so I'm not sure what your point is or if you just don't understand the election process. Same as Senator Bill Nelson and several other Republican Congressmen.

As a Floridian, I am excited about Gillum. It's the opposite of, uh, "doubling down" - Graham would have been the safe play, Gillum is pretty inspiring. Hopefully we can turn around the mess that Rick Scott and his administration have left in Florida.

Rick Scott's administration has not only ignored the environmental impact and causes of algae blooms on Lake Okeechobee, but rolled back regulation that protected it. Now it's damaging everything from the canals to the coral reefs in the Gulf and Atlantic that the canals empty into. It's pretty appalling.

I grew up in Madison WI which sits on 3 large lakes (well, technically 4). Every summer there would be huge algae blooms from fertilizer run off, but Madison managed to fix the problem over the years and clean them up. Lake Okeechobee is much larger and shallower, so there are always flooding possibilities, but Rick Scott's answer has been to just dump the water into the canals and ocean and ignore it. Dude has done some serious damage.

Of course he did.

He's a "fewer regulations" guy and this is wott happens when safeguards are taken away.

This Democrat Socialist Gillum is The Mayor of Tallahassee where there is an FBI corruption investigation underway and has a violent crime rate more than double that of the U.S. average.

It took less than 24 hours for the Democrat Socialists to throw the race card.

Florida’s Hispanic and Latino communities are very sensitive to and adamantly anti-socialist.

Florida is hugely supportive of President Trump who endorses DeSantis.

DeSantis will destroy Gillum in the general election.

Florida will be swallowed by the ocean soon, so none of your B.S. matters son.

Al Gore and the other global warming idiots have tried to sell that crap for 20 years.
The same idiots that said NYC would be under water years ago.

None of their fear tactics and fake science have come true.

The corruption case has nothing to with Gillum.

While there are many Cuban immigrants who are traditionally staunch Republicans, that's a gross generalization. There are plenty of DR and PR who haven't forgotten Trump abandoning them after last Summer's hurricanes.

Also, you need to look up the definition of "socialism" when compared to social programs like public schools and roads, etc.

Should be interesting.

Just so intelligent posters will understand perspective, the GOP candidate takes a page right out of racist Trump's playbook. No surprise that this is who Trump is, and he's created an entire cult of followers - some running for office.

https://tvline.com/2018/08/29/desantis-gillum-monkey-this-up-racist-comment-florida-governor-race/

"During an appearance on Fox News, the Trump-backed DeSantis warned (at the 0:34 mark above) that “the last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda,” which he argues the Bernie Sanders-backed Gillum will propagate if elected governor."

DeSantis is also being accused of employing racist “dog whistles” by saying Gillum is an “articulate” speaker who “performed better” at the debates than his rivals.

Florida’s Democratic party chair, Terrie Rizzo, was quick to admonish the GOP candidate’s choice of words, tweeting, “It’s disgusting that Ron DeSantis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles.”

Well, I wouldn't play the racist card too quickly. Its part of our vernacular as in , "Dont monkey with my computer". It was just a clumsy way to say "Don't monkey with success" . In todays hyper-sensitivity, it doesnt take much to get a full blown reaction though if someone can connect some imaginary agenda in their head.

The phrase is common vernacular, but the far-left extremists’ knee-jerk reaction is to throw the race card.

Maybe he should have described him like Joe Biden described Obama:
Well, he’s clean… articulate.
