John Morgan is thinking of starting a third party.

[Baitball Blogger]

For people like him that feel that he's caught in the middle. He said the problem is gerrymandering. That you're stuck with black or white. And if to tie that to race, which is unclear, the newsman added that last election, he supported Biden, but not Harris. Cryptic.

Anyway, he will consider running as governor after he sees who shows up for the race.

1. Is this John Morgan the lawyer from Morgan and Morgan?

If it is that John Morgan. I have a problem with people who have never been in public service that want to be Gov or President. I am over rich dudes that think they know how to better run a state or the country, simply because they are rich.

3. I never trusted him. Enough said.

5. Why do you call him a "newsman" in the OP?

That sounds like a journalist or news anchor.

8. The newsman narrating the news made the comment about, case in point, he supported Biden, not Harris.

That's why I said, it's not clear if the black and white reference ties in with Morgan's feelings about support for DEI. This is Florida, afterall. And there was talk of a covert third party already in existence decades ago. The Republican, the Democratic one and the one where they find common ground. That's the vehicle they used to run right over the community in the nineties when there were land controversies, and big Federal money for roads.

11. I recall he was pushing the legalize marijuana petition last cycle.

So he has been working in the background.

2. Third party adherents are Republicans who don't want to cop to the racism and misogyny.

Independents break right, so any third party move is just a spoiler to keep the repukes in office.

4. I always felt there was something holding us back in Florida, because the Democratic platform

that sought equal rights for all, never seemed to get traction. And now I see why.

9. The problem in Florida is they have had huge numbers of right wingers

from other states that moved there.

10. Alot of it was intentional. There was a call for retired military. They were intentionally courting them.

I got the feeling it wasn't just because of their conservative affiliation, but because of their pensions.

6. It may have a

lot to do with where one lives. There is a significant number of independents around here who were Democrats for decades.

7. Stay the course. Let Morgan appeal to the misguided and disappointed republicans.

We are DU.

12. Voted for Biden but not Harris

well, A. that generally means "I voted for Trump, because I could not vote for a Black woman."

Yeah, I get that you probably know that, but I'm so tired of rich white men thinking their voices should be the only ones involved in our national discourse.

13. Third parties are what got Trump elected twice.

14. Sure and then we lose...when will they learn?
