Seriously most any conservative who lived in FL and followed state politics, abhors this guy. He will say or do anything for political expediency. When he catches a political wind, that’s where he goes.

The only thing he seems to be consistent in is favoring illegals over citizens. That record goes well into his FL legislature days.

I don’t agree with that at all. Having dealt with his offices on a couple things, they are stalwart on several key conservative ideas. I don’t have any experience with him in the FL statehouse, but as a Senator, he’s been on the lead on many issues. I don’t doubt his ambition. He wouldn’t be running if it wasn’t through the roof.

I also challenge ‘any conservatives’ in Florida know who is dating back to the state house. In 2010, he captured the tea party ideals before the movement grew, and a lot of conservatives were all in. Many, including me, added a lot of distance after his immigration debacle in the Senate and for good reason. He sucks on that issue. He wasn’t good on the issue from day one, but his flim-flam sales job to conservatives was a disastrous effort. On that one item, he’s no better than Bush. On most conservative issues, he’s one of our best champions, whether it’s on the Senate floor, on TV or on the stump.
