Civility and calls for civil discourse have long been talking points for the Democrats. Their hypocrisy, however, has been pronounced.  For evidence, Floridians need to look no further than Alan Grayson, the “king of outrageous statements” and the Democrats’ front-runner in the 2016 U.S. Senate race.
Welcome to The Dean's List -- an Ed Dean-style look at who Florida's political achievers were (and weren't) in the last seven days.
Sometimes what seems the least consequential detail tells the most about a person's character -- or at least his or her intentions.

Donald Trump and Jeb Bush
Donald Trump apparently isn't big enough to admit Jeb Bush got the better of him in 1998.
Republicans clashed in the second round of presidential debates on Wednesday night. Held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, the 11 leading candidates debated for more than three hours on CNN. Earlier in the night, four dark horse candidates battled in the preliminary debate.

Richard Corcoran and, left, Mark Pafford
If ever Florida had a speaker prepared to take the gavel, it has to be Richard Corcoran, whose designation today formalizes a kind of 20-year, one-of-its-kind apprenticeship for the job.
Once upon a time in a twinkling city on a hill, little boys and girls were taught that anyone could grow up to become president.
