Special Elections in Florida Worry Republicans

A U.S. House of Representatives seat left vacant after Trump tapped Michael Waltz for National Security Advisor goes to the polls April 1. It's a tight race in a district that Trump won in November by 30 points. Democrat Josh Weil is facing Trump-endorsed candidate Randy Fine.

I'm beyond honored to have @BernieSanders in my corner as we fight for the people of District 6. 🧵

I hope the voters in Miami have learned (and have yet to learn more) that any candidate supported by Trump (Randy Fine) is a MAGA --------- who has agreed up front to support Trump's and the GOP mission to destroy American democracy and the judicial system of checks and balances along with every civil right they have in this country.

I hope they can look past the millions of dollars Elon Muck vowed to contribute to candidates like Randy Fine whose vote Republicans can count on to keep Speaker Johnson (another Trump cohort) in office.

VOTE Democrat JOSH WEIL and help Democrats drain the swamp that Trump has created.

Not getting my hopes up. Went to the library yesterday and the early voting line was down the block.

Special elections slip thru the cracks because the leftist Democrat run MSM say nothing about them. And few ads are run. They impose a cover up just as they did with the Hunter Biden laptop and recent special election in PA. The media controls alone what they want exposed and covered up.

Is FOX News covering the special elections (I don't watch FOX News, or any other MSM for that matter)?
If not, why not?
If they are covering the special elections, are you claiming that FOX News is not MSM?

1) Stupid

2) Lying

3) I don't know what to put at #3, except that you live in a world of your own and it's too ignorant and nasty to do anything with it except to label it ignorant and nasty.

4) But #4----No problem here. If MAGA is in trouble next Tuesday it's because Trump has done the worst job imaginable and has terrified those voters he hasn't pissed off.

If you read #4 carefully. You realize it's just a word salad of phrases that don't really mean anything.

Bonus points for Hunter Biden.

Robson, when will you ever figure out how to post a comment that actually means something.

What's really worrying Republicans on Capitol Hill even more are the coming mid-term elections.

CONSERVATIVES need to learn to fight fight fight against unfairness and FOR freedom and fairness,and by and for media and judicial fairness. Never ever let them try to cover up for their scheming operatives.

Conservatism is essentially about openness. hard work, fairness and freedom and equality for all.

Trump isn't conservative. He's a ------- bomb thrower.

Usurping powers not legally his to assert he is a criminal and a liar.

Republicans stopped being conservatives with Reagan and Bush the Younger. They became political terrorists that deny both the spirit and letter of the Law.

Trump belongs in a prison cell or the Ground.

Ask Danforth and TonyRoma how their two years of relying on Roementum worked out.

My two millennial sons were brought up in a liberal household. They both now state that both parties have been beholden to the billionaires for decades.

Definitely not easy Democratic votes. It'd take a lot to convince them to vote D for president, even against the current Rs, because in the long term to them, both parties have the same overlords.

When is someone finally going to call Trump insane.

He's been ranked among the walking wounded for years and worse now that he's in his dotage. What's it going to take to call a spade a spade.
