Patrick Murphy vows to be U.S. Senator ‘who always works for you’ in new ad

in 2017 by

Patrick Murphy continues to yoke Marco Rubio to Donald Trump, releasing a new advertisement that says Rubio “stands by Trump.” The 30-second spot — called “For You” and released Thursday — features a footage from Access Hollywood where Trump makes lewd comments about women, before showing footage of Rubio saying the state has “to make sure that Donald wins this election.” “No, we don’t. Marco Rubio stands by Trump and failed to show up for Florida,” the Treasure Coast Democrat says…

Democrats not willing to spend on Florida race, aiding Marco Rubio

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is getting help from an unlikely quarter as he campaigns for re-election: The Democratic Party. The party’s Senate committee this week abandoned Rubio’s Democratic rival, Rep. Patrick Murphy, yanking advertising off the expensive airwaves of the Sunshine State and sending the money to competitive races in smaller states where fundraising dollars go farther. The decision leaves Murphy, who’s raised only about one-third as much as Rubio in recent months, largely on his own. And it has…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.20.16 — #Badhombres

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump enjoyed mocking Hillary Clinton earlier this week for all the time she’s taken off the campaign trail recently, but with all three debates now history, it’s clear she knew exactly she was doing — working to be totally prepared for these debates. I know folks like to lower the bar considerably when grading how well Trump performed in these encounters, but the fact is Clinton has been sharper and better prepared in all three, and they really could be the deciding…

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee looking dumb and dumber for abandoning Patrick Murphy

in Peter/Top Headlines by

About a week ago, I used this space to offer an honest critique of national Democrats turning their backs on Patrick Murphy. At the time, Murphy was lagging behind by about four points; at least one poll showed it was even closer. With Donald Trump cratering, it only seemed logical to this writer that abandoning Murphy was a dumb move. And now, we have new variables to consider. First, there is another poll, this one from Quinnipiac, showing the race…

Marco Rubio decries FDA regulations over cigars while visiting Tampa factory

in 2017 by

Marco Rubio‘s re-election campaign brought him to a 13o-year-old cigar factory in Tampa Wednesday, where he blasted proposed federal rules which could severely harm it and other cigar manufacturers in the U.S. A recent FDA ruling initially intended to regulate smokeless tobacco products, but summarily expanded to include cigars, would compel manufacturers like the J.C. Newman Company to go through a rigorous and costly application before any new product could go on the market. Officials said the imposed verification process would radically slow the rate of new…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.19.16 — Will Chris Wallace find debate fodder in WikiLeaks?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Chris Wallace has been laying low over the past week, bypassing his normal turn as host of Fox News Sunday as he prepared to host tonight’s final presidential debate from the Thomas & Mack Center on the University of Las Vegas campus (though a photo of his mug continues to be prominently featured on virtually every Fox broadcast). Like any solid reporter, he’s undoubtedly been hunkered down preparing the best questions to pose to the candidates tonight. But let’s be honest. He’s also…
