		<description>At 29% of Escambia voters, Democrats alone did not cause Valimont to win Escambia County.  There must be tremendous erosion of Republican support among No Party Affiliation (NPA) voters.  Thanks to Don and Elon. 

If the stock market/tariff announcement had had its meltdown on March 31, the numbers for Patronis would have been much weaker. 

A few Republican voters, like myself, vote in Republican primaries for the most moderate candidates, then vote Democrat in general elections. I love my role being a thorn, and maybe even a spoiler!

Oh, and Jimmy might want to think about changing his residence out of Bay County. That might help.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, money talks. Democrats spent 6.5 million versus Republicans spending less than 1 million district wide. That&#039;s $9.00 dollars per Republican vote, and $89.00 per Democrat vote. This was mostly spent on hate talks ads and it almost worked.  By the way most of this money did not come from this part of Florida</description>

		<description>Those that moved to Escambia County brought they&#039;re politics with them. Thankfully I don&#039;t live in Escambia County anymore but with the influx of new residents there and other counties in the area, Florida will be a complete disaster in a few years. Lord help us!</description>

		<description>Well by the time we get midterms and most folks see the economic disaster that’s been imposed on most, woke won’t even be a term used anymore.  It will be “joke.”  What a joke it will have been that voters of the red voted against their own interests, financial and otherwise, for simply “populism.”  We said, “be careful what you hope for!”  Now you got it.  Enjoy!</description>

		<description>Many believe those who don&#039;t vote for a person obligated to support whatever 78 year old Donald Trump wants are &quot;woke&quot; -- whatever that means -- and wanting our homes and homeland destroyed
I often get the impression it means aware of the needs and feelings of others, but that can&#039;t be it since Christ commander such an attitude so it must be something else. Assuming Donald&#039;s plans are good for America and our district and should be blindly followed may not seem reasonable to those with memories.

We shall see</description>
