wow - you'd almost think the GOP racism was deliberate at this point.

if so, I typically use Firefox. I think.

It's not a good look but won't hurt him with the majority of the Cuban based community. They're some of the most racist people I've ever encountered

I don't think this qualifies as a dog whistle. It's more like a wolf call

Stephen Lawson, communications director for the DeSantis campaign, said in an email that “Ron DeSantis was obviously talking about Florida not making the wrong decision to embrace the socialist policies that Andrew Gillum espouses. To characterize it as anything else is absurd."

I mean... OF COURSE!!

GOP candidate for Florida Gov goes full Florida Man Giphy

by **GRR Spartan** 2018-08-29, 12:01

He's playing the race card while outgoing governor Rick Scott is trying to play everyman, even running early ads saying he'll be there to represent the recent Puerto Rican's who have moved to Florida.

But the one thing the GOP never expected was the Green Tide, the algae bloom that is killing Florida tourism and quality of life for millions of Florida voters and both candidates have documented histories of marginalizing EPA and Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Its going to be wild.

Not only that, but we'll see if Parkland has any effect on voting and if the kids get out and vote. That could have been the surprise that Gillum got. TBH, I didn't think he had a chance. I thought Levine might pull it off, but him and Greene got into it, which I think hurt them both. Had one or the other ran and not both, Levine probably could've won the nomination.

I think that Graham was hurt by some interviews she gave taht she stumbled on in the last few weeks. I had no idea that Gillum was endorsed by Bernie, until last night when they said it after he won. Then again I'm registered Independent, so I didn't vote in the Primary.

Strangely there was no thread in the Bin on this......I guess racism is only bad in certain circumstances.

More likely it's selective outrage based on the tribal designation behind the name.
Detroit Rep. Bettie Cook Scott on Asian opponent: 'Don't vote for the ching-chong!'

More than a dozen community groups have called on Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) to apologize for a series of racial slurs sources say she used to describe her primary election opponent, Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit).

Scott is alleged to have referred to Chang as "ching-chang" and "the ching-chong" to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday's election. She's also said to have called one of Chang's campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”

Yes Goose, Dems can be assholes too. The main difference is, it is not a prerequisite to be a Dem....

and it is internally shut down pretty quickly. (See Dem #MeToo dudes.)

So we can get Gooseisms on demand now? That's pretty sweet. Goose, what are your thoughts on Trump's policies?
