Gillum was just interviewed on CNN - he said this was a win for "the Barack Obama wing.....
....the Hillary Clinton wing, and the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party." They also did an analysis on CNN of the victory, and say it was because of the overwhelming black turnout for him in the state. It's a truly broad-based win for the entire Democratic Party and Gillum.  George.. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=2146130

Thank you, Cha, and that's the way it should be headlined. I think what we're witnessing is star-power sensationalism at its worst - the exact same crap coverage that put Trump in office. I watched it happening not only in US media but also in most outlets around the globe in 2015/16, to the point of making me ill. For months on end, I couldn't escape it just to read my daily news.
The demonization of the very name of our Party by Republicans must stop, and we need to insure the name is kept front and center in the media to counter their lying narrative. Thanks for posting that list.......
