So uh, at a Trump/DeSantis rally today, the Trumpsters were screaming “Lock him up!” in regards to Gillum. Huh?

They do that with all Trump's enemies now, regardless if they are actually suspected of committing crimes or not.

Remind me again, which side has the "mob"?

If Democrats are looking for a shiny object Governorship pickup it won't be here. I think you are buying into polls that were made for spin mostly.

Wisconsin is a possibility but not FL or GA.

You have a very strange understanding of how polling works.

From 538 liveblog:

We have about 400,000 early votes in Broward County, Florida, one of the bluest counties in the state. Bill Nelson leads Rick Scott 71 to 28 percent, and Andrew Gillum leads Ron DeSantis 71 to 29 percent. Hillary Clinton won Broward 66 to 31, but we have to wait for the full Election Day vote, which will probably lean more Republican.

I told you Graham would have won.

Or she might have run behind Gillum.  No way to know.

But at least we now know that progressive black candidates don't work in the South (at least in Florida and Georgia).

Sadly, I agree.
