Time will tell what happens when a punk, partisan upstart attacks an elder statesman

Most politicians with weak resumes are wise enough to pick their battles. Tallahassee’s young mayor recently proved he will do anything, say anything and show disrespect to anyone in his way in his quest to ride the power of personality to the Governor’s mansion. This is the sad state of American governance, and Gillum has the playbook: Use your office for politics, when crisis hits, keep running and proclaim victim status, attack your enemies and attack their friends too.

Take note young Mayor, a wise old cracker once said, “the He-Coon walks just before the light of day!”  It’s one thing to mouth off to the leaders of the opposition, go on a tirade about the issue of the day versus President Trump or Governor Rick Scott, that’s politics.

Taking on leaders in your own party, however, can lead to very different results. Especially when you take on a man who has actually done something with his life, repeatedly proven his commitment to his constituents through 50 years of services as a teacher, principal, superintendent, along with generally being regarded as a good person.
