Jacksonville’s daily paper, the Florida Times-Union, isn’t known for sounding the clarion call of revolution. However, its unsigned editorial endorsing Donald Trump strikes that chord, representing the GOP nominee as the “change agent” that America needs, one that accords with the paper’s “center-right” tradition. “America needs a major shake-up. There is only one presidential candidate with the […]

In Jacksonville near the Legends Community Center on Saturday afternoon, Rev. Jesse Jackson delivered an urgent message to around 50 Democrats on hand. Vote this year.

The talk coming from the Florida Times-Union newsroom is being confirmed by First Coast News: Jacksonville’s daily paper will endorse Donald Trump this weekend.

All dressed up with nowhere to go on Saturday night? No problem in Jacksonville. The Duval GOP has you covered, inviting you to a free “surprise dinner party” with Marco Rubio. Duval Republicans are working hard, “celebrating and campaigning all day on Saturday,” before playing hard, by “pulling out all the stops to welcome Florida’s […]
