Florida's Culture Of Corruption

Florida politicians have taken more than $1 million from opioid producers.

-----
Nearly all of it – 89 percent – has gone to GOP candidates or a GOP committee.
-----
$15,250, which isn’t all that significant unless you take into account that it was given to state Rep. Jason Brodeur, of Sanford, who's the chairman of the House Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Broward Democratic Party

Here's why he dropped out of the Democratic Party:
"For the past two years, the Broward Democratic Party has openly supported Wasserman Schultz in violation of its own charter and promises. It regularly backs corporate funded incumbents who dodge debates against challengers like me. It actively works to prevent challengers like me from speaking at Democratic Party committee meetings, clubs and caucuses.
For months, I have been facing the intolerable prospect of running in another August closed Democratic primary administered by the same Democratic Broward Supervisor of Elections who is allied with Wasserman Schultz and who illegally destroyed all the paper ballots in our 2016 primary. To add insult to injury, the Florida Democratic Party and the Broward Democratic Party have been silent on this ballot destruction and have refused to call for an investigation.
By running as an independent, I will be on the ballot in November. Perhaps by then the Broward Supervisor of Elections will have been replaced." Tim Canova

“But the Florida race [Tim Canova versus Debbie Wasserman Schultz] could well reveal more about the Democratic Party than any other contest this cycle, including the one for president. . . . It's a test of whether progressive ideas or corporate money are more central to the Democratic Party's future.”  Huffington Post

Florida GOP Ron DeSantis: Trump is solidly behind me

Florida GOP Ron DeSantis, banking on Donald Trump's endorsement to help him win Florida's Republican gubernatorial primary against Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, tells The Buzz he is not  worried that Trump could wind up staying on the sidelines. here
-----
He brushed off the contention that he is too far to the right ideologically to make a strong general election candidate. 
-----
"They said it about Ronald Reagan. They said it about Rick Scott. They said Charlie (Crist) needed to run for Senate because Marco couldn't win. They said Donald Trump couldn't win."

Rick Scott: Bald-headed Eveready bunny

"I think Senator Nelson is in for a dog fight. I think he’s got to get busy. You cannot underestimate this Rick Scott. He is a methodical, Eveready bunny; a bald-headed Eveready bunny who just never stops. He’s focused, and he’s got the money. And he’s got the message. And if I was Bill Nelson, I’d be worried.”
