    If he wins the November election, as he is expected to do in the conservative stronghold, Donalds would become the first Black governor in any southern US state.

    So confident was Donalds of victory that his television advertisements in the weeks leading to the primary ignored his Republican challengers and focused on former Republican congressman David Jolly, who secured the Democratic party’s nomination on Tuesday

    Sooooo…

    trump thinks he can get a Black man elected Governor in the South…

    Even when running against a white guy who was a Republican till Trump showed up?

    Like, this is a “even if we win, we lose” moment, and I bet the Florida Dem.party put their thumbs on the scales for Jolly… But there’s no way Donalds wins in Florida. Too many trump supporters will never vote for a Black man, even with Trump’s endorsement. And since he’ll be top of ticket in florida, a lot of MAGA in florida will sit out and just not vote.

    Fucking weird Republicans think this will work

      These folks have the memory of a gnat.

      Mark Robinson, NC GOP candidate for governor, provoked public outrage from both sides for comments he made on the internet 10 years prior for being a “Black Nazi” on a porn site. He lost resoundingly to white candidate Josh Stein.

      Meanwhile, you can run White GOP candidates who raped 50 kids, hate trans and immigrants, and these people will happily vote them into power.

      They think it will work, because elections are fully rigged in Florida. If a Chicken ran as a MAGA in Florida, it would win by less than half a percent, like DeSantis or Rick Scott. Donalds will be the next governor of Florida, it’s already been determined.
