He could peel off enough RAT votes to win. He’s an asshole, but he’s a pretty good campaigner and of course he’ll get more media than Rubio, unless there’s something negative to say about Rubio. It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets backdoor (no pun intended) help from the DNC.
He is not going to win — Republicans are very much united now for Rubio after Crist pulled this stunt. Most indy’s think he is a jerk.
People encouraging him to run are Dems who don’t like Meeks.
Rubio will win in the general over both of them — polls are already showing that in a three way race. Meeks and Crist are after the same group of voters.
