Welcome to the New America

GOP presidential contenders are on a collision course with the American electorate.
“There is simply no way that Republicans can seem like a modern political party with widespread appeal in the New America unless they adjust to the new reality on at least a few of their long-standing policy positions. . . . Foremost in this area are gay rights,” Dana Milbank

Big Sugar supporters hire actors to protest

Screen grab of a Broward Acting Group’s Facebook post offering to pay for pretend protesters to back Big Sugar’s attempt to get out of the land deal they made with the State of Florida. 
The Facebook post has since been taken down.

Dear Tallahassee Politician

You, Tallahassee Politician, are going to lose your moral authority in about 30 days.
When we put medical marijuana on the ballot in 2014 - so many of you objected, saying legislature was the best place for this to get done.We all know what happened next:  A billionaire put in $6 million, funded an outrageous set of lies and exaggerations about the amendment, and then we came just short of the 60% we needed, despite our 3.4 million votes cast in favor of medical marijuana.

Maybe some of you think we're bluffing.  Maybe you don't believe our expert pollster - who said that if we ran the exact same race in 2016 as we did in 2014, we'd win.  (We're going to run a better race, regardless.)
