More than two dozen candidates mingled in a crowd of 230. Sarasota Democrats currently have just a fraction of the candidates being put up by the local GOP. here

GOP: A Party On The Brink Of Disaster

From the beginning of the campaign, 

Far-right nativism has defined the agenda. Here's why it could backfire—badly. here

----------

In California Prop 187 won overwhelmingly with 59 percent of the vote and Pete Wilson won re-election handily. But while Republicans were high-fiving each other over their great victory, the court issued an immediate stay of the proposition and the Latino community in California began to protest and organize. And they also began, in great numbers, to vote Democratic. The fallout from Prop 187 and a few subsequent anti-immigrant proposals decimated the Republican Party in California.

Marco Rubio Would Seize And Sell Off America’s Public Lands

Florida GOP Marco Rubio doesn’t like that militants are currently occupying a federal wildlife facility in Oregon. But he does like the militia’s main idea: Seizing and selling off America’s public lands. 

----------

Rubio said that while he doesn’t support “lawless” activity, he does agree with the militia on its main point that federal public lands should be transferred to private ownership for activities like logging, coal mining, oil drilling, and farming. here
