The party is a mess and is practically 3 parties (north florida, central and then south) there's no common party and everyone is fighting for themselves. This was obvious in 2010 and 2014 still not fixed. I fear for Nelson's seat when he resigns.

FL Dems don't have anything to build around and haven't for decades. The FL GOP on the other hand puts in work making sure there's a steady steam of candidates for state office, and the legislature does everything they can to entrench GOP control whenever possible.
This is a great (and very true) observation. North Florida Dems and South Florida Dems especially have vastly different constituencies and don't have an overall statewide platform they can coalesce around, unlike the GOP that has enough elected officials they are more or less forced into one by consistency. Not being able to govern at scale really, really hurts in FL.
Low energy Donald!

Yup. And every times the Dems get slaughtered they pretend the party is going to get together and build the bench, they go on listening tours and lose again in 2 years.
Doesn't sound well. Sad!
isnt that the case for most of the Democratic states parties outside of the Northeast? TN, AL, MS, SD, UT, KS, etc parties aint doing well at all. Some are completely dead shutout of everything like WY, ID.

Acid wash is something you do to a pool liner or denim jeans. It has no IT definition because it's made the fuck up.
Making insinuations to the racist base. Probably wants them to imagine lynchings.

Florida has dem politicians but the party is balkanized into different parts of the state which has lead to decimation and infighting on the state level. They occasionally get their shit together for national elections though, usually with outsiders forcing unity and squishing infighting.
Florida should be a very balanced state.
The day Donald Trump got the nomination is when we entered the twilight zone. Can't believe he's even in the race. But whatever at this point we gotta beat this fucker come election in November.

Murphy was a solid recruit and would be winning easily in an open seat race.
Rubio unfortunately is the media candidate.

Donald sounds like one of the mid level technology project managers I had to work with at Goldman.
Doesn't understand the words coming out of their mouth, but wants to form 8 action committees to come up with a 'best in class solution' and hope the underpaid programmers make something that works, and then they'll just call it 'best in class' and that it does what it was supposed to, whether it does or not.

Donald's policy on Syria: I'm not gonna tell you until I've done it.
It's kinda hard to get solid recurits for local races when on the presidential level the democrats have been losing almost all of those states by double digit margins in the last decade or two(besides SD in 08).
On paper Democrats should be competitive in FL, OH, WI, MI, VA, NC, NV, CO, NM, IA, but they don't control any of those except for the CO & VA governorship. Adding insult is NJ, ME, IL, MD & MA blue territory controlled by Rs. The only governorship they have in Red Territory is LA. They know how to win in Presidential but crap the bed 2 years later.
Now there will be self-correction next year and in 2018. I have no faith Democrats will self correct in some of those in a midterm.

He's tired. He was up at three tweeting on a VPN to a fake internet that Kellyanne had set up secretly.

She's one of the worst, most ineffective people in Washington and apparently even worse in Florida. Murphy isn't her fault but if anyone is emblematic of the republican-lite empty suit culture that Murphy comes from it's her. It's 2016, that empty suit shit doesn't work as well for white guys anymore.
He won this address, and that's even while being distracted by the mic he is so daintily holding right now.

The whole "don't tell them we are attacking" is some of the stupidest shit. Like in Mosul ISIS is going to see the Iraqi army out their windows and think "oh they are here for a stroll."
One random thing about this whole "1995" thing that amuses me:
Over the past few days, in various conversations, I've seen this approximate sentiment:
"wow - how did Trump lose money during the Clinton Boom?"
Whether or not Bill deserves credit for 1995's economy, I love having "The Clinton Boom" randomly popping-up into conversations. It's a subtle reinforcement of the notion that the economy does well with a Clinton (and/or Democrats) in charge.

My father says the Clinton Boom only happened because of the long term payoff of Reaganomics.

CNN has a new countdown on the screen
4,338 hours, 19 minutes, 08 seconds to coverage of the Wisconsin Primary
Awww, it just went away

Nice! Bush recovery and boom coming within the next couple of years!
Same as my uncle, hehe..
I've also been thinking: the idea that an economic recession is inevitable before 2020 seems pretty widespread. Imagine the fallout if we get another economic upswing in that time frame. Rightly or wrongly, the Clinton name would be forever tied to the idea of economic good times.
