Don’t California my Florida! Tallahassee is a hot bed of rampant insane liberalism from CALI..
@ Resident Since 1990 = Exactly, and PAC Money should be illegal or at the very least, PAC’s should be considered a Business and should only be allowed to give up to the $1,000 Limit and no more.
David Hawkins- Kamala does not support any of Trump’s policies. Anything she says that remotely sounds like Trump’s policies is a lie to get votes. That’s what Democrats do best.
I just do not understand why our local city election candidates seem to receive so much out of state, (especially California) money to get elected to serve our local community.
Why is this legal?
What decisions/favors are expected from our local candidates in return for national funds?
Thank you, TR, for reporting this.
Our local legacy media monitors this site and sits on their butts while they lose customers and employees because they won’t report this to their uniformed reader base
.
And that uniformed base continues to pull the “D” lever in the voting booth.
I just hope the Voters have been keeping up with Kamala Harris’s Polices for the past 5 Years. She has been pushing Biden’s Policies fully 100% without hesitation or question and Bashing all of Trump’s Polices the whole time. NOW, she is starting to push Trump’s Policies but I am sure it is all Talk.
