At all key places Democrats lost the mid terms that’s clearly shows where Americans stands. No more words on this.

This just really angers me. It's sh*t like this that meant to discourage voters. I hope by 2020 Georgia and Florida get their sh*t together so we can rid this country of all of these corrupt politicians. I'm going to work hard for the democrats for 2020!

Cheaters never win. 😂😂😂😂😂Florida dnc democrats

The Latest: Democrat Gillum ends campaign for governorTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on Florida recount (all times local): 5:15 p.m. Democrat Andrew Gillum says he is ending his hard-fought race for Florida governor and has congratulated Republican Ron DeSantis. Gillum posted a live video on Facebook on Saturday afternoon in which he congratulated DeSantis. Gillum had conceded to DeSantis on election night, but retracted it after the margin between the two candidates narrowed. The race went to a legally required recount, but after an initial machine recount DeSantis still led Gillum by more than 30,000 votes. Gillum, who is Tallahassee's mayor, isn't saying what he plans to do next. 'Stay tuned,' he said in his brief remarks. Nonetheless, Gillum says he will remain politically active, adding 'the fight for Florida continues.' Gillum's announcement came hours after President Donald Trump said on Twitter that Gillum will be a 'strong Democrat warrior' and a 'force to reckon with.' There was no immediate response from DeSantis or his campaign. The Latest: Democrat Andrew Gillum congratulates Republican Ron DeSantis for successfully rigging the hard-fought race for governor, “misplacing” over 2,000 ballots. 'Misplace' Would somebody come lease clean up this mess BEFORE 2020!!! PLEASE!!!
