Only $25,000 Buys Pam Bondi

While it hasn’t been proved that Mr. Trump or Ms. Bondi violated bribery law, there’s little doubt that they abused the public trust in 2013, when Ms. Bondi received a $25,000 campaign contribution from Mr. Trump four days after her office announced that Florida was “reviewing the allegations” in a lawsuit filed in New York against his Trump University. here

The Demise Of The Florida GOP Cuban Americans

The fastest growing voting bloc in Florida is known as NPA for "No Party Affiliation," and those voters now account for 26 percent of the Sunshine State electorate, according to data collected by the University of South Florida in Tampa. Part of that uptick is coming from Florida's growing Latino population, which is quickly diversifying away from the once dominant, GOP-affiliated Cuban Americans. here

I am voting GREEN2016 - Jill Stein and just left the Democrats after being a voter since 1978. My dad and grand dad would be so disgusted! They always said, back in the 1960's "if you don't make $40,000 then you are a Democrat!" This is exactly why we have Trump running as a hero to the working class! Because "The working man's party" Democrats are all 
SOLD OUT!

You expect that from the Republicans, considered "The business party." The Koch Billionaires etc own the Republicans and the Tea Party. It was the Labor Movement and Farm Workers Movement that pushed FDR's NEW DEAL. When FDR came to the DNC with more delegates it was still a "contested convention" because of the MONEY SUCKERS in the Democratic Party! I have dedicated my Google blog to Bernie and now to Jill Stein ----
