Progressives Fume at Buesing Betrayal; Cruz Cabal in Full Panic Mode

The Florida Democratic Party is begging for “unity” after its meddling transformed a very flippable Florida Senate race into an utter longshot.
-----
An email, sent by Buesing, asks recipients to attend an “Evening of Democratic Unity” next week at a local Tampa eatery. The invitation says the event will “feature” Buesing’s replacement and corporatist puppet State Rep. Janet Cruz with Buesing as “special guest.”
-----
The aggrieved progressives in the party are having none of the blatant rescue attempt. The meddlers, FDC chairman Terrie Rizzo and corporatist Alex Sink, who caused this potential election disaster are in full panic mode realizing they alienated progressives who comprise at least a third of their base and who are reliable voters.
-----
Those who supported Bob Buesing’s 2018 effort to unseat incumbent Republican Dana Young and provided a volunteer army are rightfully livid. Buessing withdrew his candidacy after pressure and a promise from Rizzo and Sink.

Pam Bondi: Florida GOP Pawn

Bondi is a party pawn intent on carrying out partisan agendas through selective

legal enforcement Her failed political causes have mounted:

Taking a gay marriage challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court, fighting tooth and nail against medical marijuana and Obamacare, and even punting on taking on the banks responsible for Florida's historic foreclosure crisis. Her quixotic battles have made her a national darling of conservatives. She scans as a smart, sane version of Sarah Palin. here

"She is the most substantive attorney general we have had in recent memory," says state Rep. Dana Young, a Republican lawmaker from Tampa
----------
"You get the sense that rather than being the watchdog for the state, she is a mouthpiece for national political organizations," says state
Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez, a Democrat from Miami

Our thoughts
Tom Lee: Has a nice face and looks like he could be a nice guy, too bad he is GOP.
Dana Young: Is smart and hot! Too bad she is GOP
John Legg: Was more interested in his cell phone and eating his nuts
then what was going on.
Ed Narain and Arthenia Joyner looked bored.

And Jeff Brandes looked shady.

------------

Trump heads overseas for his first major trip as president, Republicans at the state level are looking at the wreckage he is leaving behind and wondering if he will kill the party before the 2018 midterms.
----------

Florida GOP consultant John McKager Stipanovich says if Trump doesn’t follow through on his campaign promises to repeal Obamacare and cut taxes, it will disastrous when the next election cycle comes around. If after all of the talk, after all of the chest-thumping, we can’t get anything done, we may get clubbed like baby seals in 2018.

----------

36 states have governor’s races next year, with incumbents and GOP challengers alike likely to be put in the awkward position of having to defend Trump. Additionally there may be the awkwardness of Trump offering to campaign for a local Republican — only to have the candidate ask the president of the United States to stay away. here
