Children running out classrooms screaming and hitting each other in Orlando

Florida voucher schools criticized in 
parent letters to state
---
In the letter about Winners Primary School, the parent asked for “help for my child,” complaining of unqualified teachers and a mostly absent principal.
---
Though Winners Primary accepts Florida scholarships, or vouchers, receiving more than $1 million from those programs this past school year, it is not “licensed, approved, accredited, or regulated” by the state, so it can make its own decisions about facilities, teacher credentials and curriculum, the education department’s letter to the parent said.

The Florida Democratic Party’s Amazing Display Of Incompetence

Florida GOP Bobby Olszewski, won a special election to serve as the newest member of the Florida House. His own party was trying to keep him out of office. So was  the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association. 
-----
Florida Dems didn’t recruit anyone to run. Even though House District 44 voted for Clinton over Trump just last year. 
-----
A Dem named Paul Chandler filed on his own. The GOP accused him of being ineligible to run. Democrats urged him to drop out of the race — and called him “malicious” when he didn’t. Chandler did finally drop out, but only after his name had been printed on all the ballots. So when a brave replacement finally stepped up, he didn’t have money, time — or even his own name on the ballot. Yet despite all that — 44 percent of voters still voted Democratic.
-----
This is why Democrats keep losing. Because, while rallies, protests and petitions are great for rallying the troops,
 if you don’t 
give them candidates to rally behind, you simply can’t win.
