in florida there hasn t been a democratic governor in over two decades if i m not mistaken. georgia it s been a while. in texas it s been 20 years. they re all trying to come up with math that works. they re taking approaches, not doing what democrats have traditionally done to win stayed weight in those places. absolutely. if you look at the history of the way democrats have nominated a gubernatorial kabd datd, they ve gone with alex sync, the safe centrist candidate they think they can sell in the northern part of the state. you have to understand florida is not one state, it s five states. there is a midwestern part, a very southern, very sort of alabama-esque part of it, rural parts. there is south florida which is different from the rest of the state toenlly, politically, every other way. democrats have tended to play for the center of the state, the i-4 corridor. the largest is tampa and they have zeroed on tampa and
absolutely. if you look at the history of the way democrats have nominated a gubernatorial kabd datd, they ve gone with alex sync, the safe centrist candidate they think they can sell in the northern part of the state. you have to understand florida is not one state, it s five states. there is a midwestern part, a very southern, very sort of alabama-esque part of it, rural parts. there is south florida which is different from the rest of the state toenlly, politically, every other way. democrats have tended to play for the center of the state, the i-4 corridor. the largest is tampa and they have zeroed on tampa and moderate. somebody they think they will cross over and vote for. what andrew gillum has done, which confounded democrats in the primary, because he was running against one candidate, the daughter of the former governor of the state, bob graham, gwen graham, he confounded that. he s running as a progressive,

here. david jolly when he gave his speech last night, he made it very clear that this is about local issues. didn t even mention obamacare at all and the fact that he as a republican opposes it and supports this repeal. but republicans in washington spent no time wasted no time, rather, jumping on it saying they believe the message that republicans on the outside spent millions of dollars pouring in in tv ads about repealing obamacare is the way to go is the fact that the republican won here, it is proof that their decision to really go all in on that message for the fall is validated and they are absolutely going to do that. now on the democratic side, to be fair, alex sync, the candidate, was somebody who supported obamacare but definitely said she wanted to have changes to it. she sort of supported the fix it don t end it approach. that is also something that democrats, particularly those who are already in office and trying to defend their seats, especially in the senate which
schultz who came back in support and tried to spin this as a good thing for alex sync. she said we support you. we re proud of you. was she proud when alex said this about immigration, that without it, who would do the work of the the dirty work. listen to this. immigration reform is important in our country. we have a lot of employers that rely upon workers and especially in this environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean up, do our landscaping? really painting those jobs as a brush of disdain and sort of dismissing it. really? possibly something that worked against her. that comment may have sunk sink. you can t teach that. jolly is going to join us in the 8:00 a.m. hour. we ll get his response to see if he s been up all night. you seem obsessed with how late he was up.
