Florida house candidate (R) Danny Burgess - In pocket of Duke Energy,Rude, Evasive, and Disingenuous

&feature=em-subs_digest

This is unbelievable to watch! He won't take the questions on the dollars from Duke, he runs away and has his wife field the tough questions. Just look how he treats someone who came out to learn about his candidacy!

We MUST keep pols out of the pockets of Duke Energy in Florida! Enough!

K&R to the greatest. He needs to feel the heat from the voters, not from coal and from charging customers for nuke plants that will never be built. Keep him out of the house!

the voter's question concerning Duke DOLLARS that Danny Burgess chose to accept as his "signature" as a "Player" for Duke Energy's Political Interests. THIS behavior is what defines a CORPORATIST Candidate.

We must work to minimize this threat. The Independent press is the only free press. Let it grow, Let it Grow, Let it Grow!

Duke Energy, destroying environmental safeguards and dumping coal ash, willy nilly. He is a one term Gov. for in 2016, he will be voted out. I despise him, aka the cookie governor.

The McCrory/Burgess disingenuous/self serving/evasive gene is well demonstrated by Danny here.

It is funny at the as Danny reaches the end of his answer to the question about Duke Energy on stage as he almost sounds as if Danny is trying to convince himself of his veracity. Danny Burgess is not the right choice if you are looking for someone to represent YOU in Tallahassee.

Couldn't help but notice- but I'm weird like that.

Another thing I noticed- Do you see a single non-white person in this entire video? Apart from the guy whose question he's refusing to answer I mean. I'm assuming the black woman (also in a Ledbetter shirt) is with him...

I also love the way Burgess' goons keep trying to block the camera.

ICYMI: 4:49- someone off camera: "You in a union?"
