Today on Context Florida: As the primary season continues and we near the GOP convention in July, one thing has become certain to Steven Kurlander.

Today on Context Florida: Whether you love him or hate him (and there really is no in-between), Steven Kurlander says one has to admit Donald Trump has established a personal brand and fortune by being extremely brash, creative, and smart: all with a very flippant attitude.
