keep us apprised of his progress? It's impossible to keep up with everything!

Actually, time to start blasting Gaetz on Twitter and get the word out about his opponent...

That area is very, very pro-military. The Air Force and the Navy have a large presence and are a huge employer.

Acquaintances. And military loathing that has been developing for Trump is sure to trickle down to Gaetz.

Especially since he has gone to such great lengths to show his support for the orange one.

Phil Ehr needs, and deserves, all the support he can get.

I'd also push for support for the Democrat running against my pathetic Rep, Daniel Webster. Another very red district, but she is fearless! Last election, she even went and spoke to a Tea Party group. www.danacottrellforcongress.com.

We need to support our red district Democrats!
