12. I'd like to shed some light on Florida with some good news.

Jimmy Patronis, former CFO of Florida and terrible commencement speaker, won FL-1. But this is a district that would probably elect a convicted serial killer if he had an R after his name. Valimont cut into the Republican stronghold in a way that was surprising and encouraging. Won one of the counties within the district which Trump won easily by double digits.

Randy Fine (FL-6) in congress should terrify everyone. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I have met him personally on too many occasions. He is yet another greedy narcissist hypocrite who will step on anyone and anything in his way, including his own family members. He is foul and takes real pride in being a disgusting person. He's one of the few people who literally give me the willies in their presence. But again, Democrats made some gains. Waltz won FL-6 by more than 30 points and Fine's win is likely going to be by about half that.

This is how it frustratingly works over time. Incremental gains add up. Keep plugging away, folks!
