one thing to keep in mind is there is an obscure 1927 law that give 3 Congressional Committees the right to compel the IRS to turn over any tax return...one of those is House Ways and Means

which would be chaired by Maxine Waters
It is Financial Services.

Gillum doesn't have a Super PAC. Beto doesn't have a Super PAC. Conor Lamb didn't have a Super PAC when he won. Ocasio-Cortez didn't have a Super PAC when she won.
Democrat primary voters are sending a clear message: No more Super PACs.
Super Delegates too !!!
I’ve said before and will repeat: I would rather see Democrats run races based around meaningful progressive reforms, even if they lose, than see another generation of tepid housecat liberal bull****.
There are a lot of state- and local-level Democrats running on strong criminal justice reform platforms—ending cash bail, drug law reform, sentencing reform—and I am all in.

Andrew Gillum will be the next Governor of Florida and will have won on this platform:
✅ Medicare For All
✅ Legalize marijuana and bail reform
✅ Taxing the rich and large corporations
✅ Transition off fossil fuels
✅ Abolish ICE
✅ Taking on the NRA
............................................
(D) turnout was highest in Florida primary history
Voter registration and voter engagement is the key.
The issues have been there.
I saw one tweet saying a voter as swayed when he/she " ... saw Gillum in a high school auditorium. Would have had to donate $50-100 to hear Gwen Graham."
I like her, I've met her father numerous times and truly expected her to get the nomination.
Her father as head of Senate Intel Committee warned against claims of WMD. That is who she comes from --- she has pledged her support to Gillum
Yeah, I’m sure “abolish ICE” resounded well in South Florida.
Since Jacksonville,Orlando and Parkland I would think taking on the NRA resounded well, as well
would you agree ?
This abolish ICE thing that has sprung up as part of the platform of the left is pretty kooky and is eventually going to hurt the whole Democratic Party.
with all due respect I am only opining on my own behalf
with respect to Gwen Graham, to me it is not an irrelevant thing to note that she would have stood a much better chance of winning in November than Andrew Gillum. I just put that out there as an observation. Hope my Florida friends at the left end of the spectrum enjoy governor DeSantis as much as they've enjoyed governor Scott.
You are ignoring how "articulate" Gillum is :facepalm:
