1. Character and talent.

In a normal world, Gaetz doesn't have a chance.

2. That district is tough for us

However, maybe redistricting may help by not having it as red. Always hope.

3. Love to see it however...

He beat Phil Ehr, a retired navy vet 65% - 35% last election. Got about the same in 2018. Looks like a solid red district. Hopefully he’ll be in a prison cell in a different district next election.

4. No, Jones has a lot of issues. Dems can do better.

[Dorian Gray]

5. I agree

name recognition isn't everything. And what experience does she have to be in congress.

While Matt Gaetz is the worst of the worst, and I would love anyone to beat him... she doesn't strike me as a serious candidate either.

[Merlot]

6. The things I've read about her suggest she may be a grifter

She's not to be taken at face value.

9. Um... links, maybe?

Otherwise, that kinda smacks of rumor-mill slandering...

10. Agreed 100%.

We can do so much better.

7. Ugh, LA

Lower Alabama
