the democrats, as michelle accurately noted, have real struggles in states like florida and georgia. so it makes sense for them to try something else. the thing that i would note, though, is florida is a -- one of these states that's a decreasingly favorable playing field for democrats of late. it's almost like the mirror image of virginia, which has been gettingingly blue. florida's been getting increasingly red, so the odds are against gillum, i believe. a blue wave could carry him but absent that blue wave, i don't see it happening. >> you got the governor's race and the senate race there as well. eugene robinson, we say the campaign began today, the general election campaign down there in florida and we have this controversy, we set this up in the beginning, it is over the question of race, over the intent, what was the intent of ron desantis in making those statements. in some ways, that has been a major feature of the trump era, controversies about statements about race, what the intention was, how the audience receives it. how do you read what ron desantis said there, because t

so when the united states deployed troops to, say, florida in the second seminal war or to georg georgia to force the cherokee indians to move west or along the canadian border on the border with texas, who commanded the u.s. troops. was it regular officers or were the commanders volunteers, citizen soldiers, which we often tend to think they were. we think of jackson himself began as a militia general and then was commissioned into the united states army during the war of 1812. then the fourth question is kind of the effect and outcomes question. what about the army's capability of performing the missions assigned to it. did that increase, decrease, improve or degrade during and after jackson's presidency. and then within those four topics, civil military relations, forced structure, command of u.s. forces and the forces capabilities, within those we have the questions of perception versus reality both for contemporaries and for historians, people looking back and thinking the united states in the 19th century is all citizen soldiers, all volunteers or all militia or all andrew jackson.

carter was a former georgia florida -- it was a campaign that was primarily about trust in the government. he also argued that he was willing to experiment, not simply with the orthodoxy of domestic policy, but with foreign-policy as well. so, foreign-policy had not been his main concern during the campaign. carter had supported many of the policies of ditente. although, he placed more emphasis on the importance of human rights, then did gerald ford or richard nixon. he didn't believe the two are incompatible. carter believed, for example, the parts of the world like latin america and africa, if the united states was more serious about human rights, the appeal of communism would diminish. in many respects, it was easier for conservatives in both parties to -- for jimmy carter then in fact it had been to go after ford or nixon, both who had pretty impeccable conservative credentials. the neoconservative democrats, a sense of urgency was even greater, as they felt the future of their party was at stake. the right wing conservatives, a democrat was much easier than attacking a fellow republi
