Former Florida Republican Gov. Charlie Crist is reviving his political career as a Democrat and will serve in Congress after beating Republican U.S. Rep. David Jolly.
Crist’s victory Tuesday in the St. Petersburg-area seat comes after he lost the 2010 U.S. Senate race as an independent and the 2014 governor’s race as a Democrat.
Crist decided to run for the U.S. House after the state Supreme Court ordered Florida lawmakers to redraw congressional districts. The new district became more heavily Democratic, making it more difficult for Jolly to retain his seat.
Crist was one of the state’s most successful politicians until he ran for Senate instead of seeking a second term as governor. Marco Rubio chased him from the GOP primary and Crist’s independent bid failed. Crist changed parties after the election.
This guy is such a loser.
Disgusting.
As a Floridian I have to say that’s too damned bad.
He’s like shite on America’s boots.
Jolly was just as big a rino as Crist is though. This is part of draining the swamp even if we have to lose a few seats. Kelly Ayotte is losing and I hope she does just to prove a point that RINOs will not do for our party.
This guy is like the late unlamented Marion Barry, former mayor of Washington D.C. Even after a drug and prostitute conviction, the low information natives of DC voted him back as mayor. Crist is cut from the same filthy cloth. I guess the massive influx of illegals voting in Florida are responsible for Crist’s election. And maybe there were a few hanging chads hanging around.
This is the exact type of career politician that people hate. WTF, Florida?
Well, you can’t win em all.
Chamelion Charlie. He’ll fit right in with the other Dems. Shallow.
Hope Ayotte loses. Hope Ryan loses. But President Trump is good enough for me!
Charlie had a district made for him...the gibmedats...
bummer
You got that right! His response to the VA scheduling scandal was to give VA more money and expand their reach. Totally the WRONG approach.
Crist is John Morgan's sock puppet. Total sleaze....
