Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have a question for the politically savvy DUer what would happen if Trump becomes Gov of Florida?
If he isn't prevented from ever holding a political office again........He can't stand being out of the limelight.
Could he run?
Could he win?
How would that affect the Republicans?
How would that affect the Democrats?

Trump wants attention but doesnt care necessarily about politics.

They would have to change the address on the letterheads.

I know we have some transplanted crazy people down here but please call your sentors and tell them to vote to convict. Let's keep this pos from ever holding public office again.
