The first half hour shows a sense of temperament and facil ability to dissect an obtuse attack and point out the facts. All by Andrew Gillum. DeSantis in a shaky voice appears slightly rattled insists on interrupting and repeating his carefully memorized talking points.

I’m all in for Andrew, but what do you say to those who question his actual commitment to a progressive agenda when he is set to campaign with Hilary Clinton?

It's two fold. You have to remember the majority of traditional dems are NOT on the Bernie train. They see his tactics & are not having it this go round. Gillum is smart to stay balanced & blue. Progressives are not the only ppl he has to consider.

He got Bernie’s endorsement; mightve helped him win his primary. Today, bernie remains as the most popular politician in the country which is why a lot of democrats have shifted their views that closely align with Bernie’s. Like Medicare, minimum wage etc.

I disagree with that. I think Bernie's BRAND is designed to sell that he has more influence than he really does. With no transparency revealing who owns him, ppl arent buying the dog/pony show this time. Which is why authentic candidates like Beto in TX are center stage.

Excuse me.... did you hear about Amazon raising their wages to $15? and did you hear them give direct credit to Bernie Sanders and the activists? They did. Sorry if you don't like that. I'm sorry that it took almost 8 years for a corporation to finally respond.

Deep Sigh. Again. The underlay for the overlay. The part Bernie didn't say they is who that bump HURTS. Small & mid-sized businesses which are fueled by the middle class will not be able to hire several ppl $15 an hour for entry-level work.

-they (apologies)

I’m not trying to lay off workers for the New Year here in Florida. Gillum needs to talk more in-depth about how he’s going to grow our economy. Those Bernie Sanders talking points will not put food on my table nor on the people we employ.
