CNN is airing the Florida Governor Debate tomorrow night

[George II]

8:00 PM, it should be a good one.

Although he's appeared a few times on the news and some talk shows, this is the first chance anyone outside of Florida will have a chance to see Gillum "in action" over an extended period of time.

From what I've seen of the two candidates, Gillum should wipe the floor with DeSantis.

1. Gillum should wipe the floor with DeSantis

I'm looking forward to it.

He's a great speaker. He won me over at a primary gubernatorial forum with all the Democratic candidates. He had clear, well-thought out answers, real policies and could draw on his experience as Tallahassee Mayor.

DeSantis has Dotard - that is all. A singularly unaccomplished congress critter. His bumper stickers actually say "Endorsed by Trump." That literally is all he's got.

2. Beat me to it

The anti-president (credit to Charlie Pierce for my new name for him) is all desantis has. Gillum is quite impressive.

3. He will be a great Governor!

[George II]

8. Aside from getting an opportunity to take on DeSantis, this is also going to give Gillum....

.....national exposure. Not quite like addressing the DNC in 2004 like Obama, but it still will give Americans all over the country a chance to see what he's got. I'm really looking forward to that.

10. Good point, George

I think he's up to the challenge.

7. Thank you, George! I just set it to record.

The #1 issues for almost all Floridians is healthcare. Gillum has a plan; unfortunately, "Medicare for all" has 0 chance of being implemented in Florida, while "Obamacare" has been trashed from both the appallingly irresponsible extremist left and the right, so he'll need to explain convincingly just how voting for him will give Floridians the healthcare they need in 2019.

DeSantis has no plan, but has been claiming that he will, and he might roll out one in this debate. We know it'd be phony, but people only have to have hope long enough to vote. In any case, expect him to obfuscate with the terminology the right has been trained to support passionately instead of substance.

I'm looking forward to it.
