The results table I saw and stuff I've read suggests there probably won't be a majority.
At least, it's too early to tell.
The question then becomes what happens in the runoff.
Florida is a closed primary.
So it's whomever leads?
yup
its always one red vs one blue
I wish we had a third party running
Well. I guess you're stuck then.
Not sure what to say.
third party won't work as long as we are closed
Well Desantis actually gave a really good speech but I dont trust him
I had a weird feeling he'd lose the runoff since it looked like the vote got split among the moderates.
I like some aspects of California's runoff voting. its also open.
It's interesting
I dunno. I feel it tends to lock people out.
Paradoxically.
Open Primaries should be universally used imo
And it opens up more avenues for party manipulation.
@Lagomaster24 I think they are more popular.
If Californians want to be evil they could all vote for someone who will obviously fail in the real expect.
iirc most states have them anyway
What I find odd is that you'd have so many candidates but not some kind of moderated voting scheme to prevent vote splitting or something.
It's not a solution that usually works.
But it is what it is I guess.
Before I moved away from California the Dem were actually afraid of infighting leading to GOP victories.
First past the post is a good alternative.
that way you can vote for both your dream candidate and the most realistic winner.
Eh. I think the bigger thing is that picking the leader gives a big opportunity for vote splitting and stuff.
Helped Trump too.
All the Republican infighting helped him out alot.
Gillum won....
34% to 32%
Unfortunately, the debates have been becoming more geared showmanship for years, Trump just leveraged the existing game.
Maybe they should have more thought out response videos like the SWJ vs skeptic videos.
Don't know if this is a video worthy story but here is an article on hoe social media both helped and created fake news around the Jacksonville shooting http://www.euronews.com/2018/08/27/witness-testimonies-and-fake-news-how-the-jacksonville-shooting-played-out-on-social-the-c
Sam Hyde was suggested as a possible suspect.
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
The funny part is she doesnt know why anyone is upset about this tweet
