1. I was just about to post this, you beat me to it. This is the first half....

....hopefully the second half will be on youtube soon.

I'm biased, but I think Gillum was the hands down winner, and really glad that the whole country got to see him in action. He's very good, and his closing statement, talking about his mother and father, was very powerful.

One thing I love, in response to DeSantis' repeated racial dog whistles, was when he said "I'm black, I've been black all my life, so far as I know I will die black."

Bazinga!!!

6. Missed deSantis' cluster of one liners and false accusations at the end?....

Caught Gillums, but not deSantis....not that I needed to hear anymore from that dRumpf-tool.

I'm biased also, so I won't bother saying who I think won, etc. I will say that one person looked pretty calm with their person, and the other was a nervous rat that looks like he was caught in the head lights. I will say that one told about what he planned to do for Florida, and the other one tossed empty accusations at his opponent and sounded more like "a politician" than someone who I would want to have serving me in my state.

So.....good luck. Floridians...get out there and elect the right man. Our country depends on you! Certainly your own state does.

7. Wow!! Gillum is superb! On point with precision. No fat, no BS whatsoever!!

DeSantis is pathetic!

I'd vote for Gillum for any office...hope he runs for prez someday.

8. Damn, I hope he wins. We need leaders like him. People like him don't come along often. nt

9. Thanks for posting these!

Since I cut cable 4 years ago, I wasn't able to watch it live.

The stark contrast between Andrew Gillum and Ron DeRacist couldn't be more clear!

Getting ready to send another check to Gillum's campaign. Two weeks to go...

10. Looking forward to Gov. Gillum; Fla. desperately needs a major change.
