FL-27: Hurricane Donna to hit Miami next Tuesday

[Zaybay]

The good news is that her age will hempen her time in the seat, and she is incredibly vulnerable to a primary challenge.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Too many lefties split the vote. You had Richardson, who's endorsed by the Congressional thank you progressive Caucus, Haggman who's running on abolishing ICE, and Hepburn, who was endorsed by  justice Democrats. Now we're stuck with Shalala ugh. JD really needs to get its act together!

[Progressive Pessimist]

Yeah, what a f**k-up Florida.

Florida is a f***-up in general.

[Donerail]

Yeah, what a f**k-up Florida.

Florida is a f***-up in general.

you live in new jersey

[MAINEiac4434]

Apart from Menendez, New Jersey has some really solid candidates this year. And Murphy's one of the best governors in the country.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Have you ever been to New Jersey? We're not that bad. We have our problems and some of the stereotypes are true, sure. In all honesty, I would actually rather live in another state's metropolitan city than where I currently do. But I've spent a lot of time in Florida, I have a lot of relatives that live down there from both sides of my family. It's just not for me and the state's politics just make it all that much less impressive. I also hate that it has so much influence too when it comes to its politics.

Ideally she's a one term candidate then retires.

[libertpaulian]

Is she likely to blow this race, or is this one of those "Even Roy Moore would win this race if he had a D next to his name" kind of races?

No she's likely going to win

It's a D+5 district but filled with ancestrally GOP Cubans. Ros-Lehtinen was probably the only Republican who could hold it in 2018.

It doesn't have as many Cubans as FL-25 or FL-26.

Good job Florida Dems! Try nominating a candidate who isn't total garbage next time.

Are you seriously going to judge a race on what a few consultants say?

[Devout Centrist]

I dunno, an RNCC poll only has Donna up 4...it's gonna be close!

[Xing]

Shalala will win, but ugh, she needs a primary challenger in 2020.

It's believable. She's just a godawful candidate. Also older than dirt and would probably the oldest freshman ever.

Yet she'd still be younger than your King will be in 2020.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Richardson should run again in 2020

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So something I just learned upon looking up her Republican opponent that shocked me, well for one she is gorgeous:


But the shocking thing is that she is 56 years old! I was so sure she had to be one of those 30s/early 40s candidates, once I found her actual age my jaw dropped.

Not that that is a reason to vote for her, but quite frankly I wouldn't mind her winning so a non-terrible candidate can win in 2020 as long as the Democrats still win the House. If not then hopefully Shalala is just running at her age so she can add "member of US House" to her bragging list and retires after a term. She is by far the worst Democratic candidate running in a competitive district this year. The only one who'd be able to challenge her for that was that pro-Trump DA in Pennsylvania, but he thankfully lost the primary in a pleasing upset.

Iron Deadbeat Jailbird, Leslie Cockburn, and T.J. Cox are worse, though it's a stretch to call these districts "competitive." Then again, it's a stretch to call FL-27 "competitive" too.

What did Cox do?

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

I am endorsing the cute lady because i like her policies

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

T J Cox lives in a District 2 Districts to the North of the District he is trying to represent.

Randy Bryce is a strong candidate, and IceSpear trolling on the topic is very annoying.

He's deeply flawed, but he's also a strong fundraiser and inspires the activist base. I feel as if his scandals are overrated, remember Dubya was arrested for DUI.
