Among more than 200 experts and veterans of Florida politics surveyed in the latest Tampa Bay Times Florida Insider Poll, nearly six in 10 this week said they expect Florida's Republican governor to unseat the three-term Democratic Senator.

Scott votes with Trump. Nelson votes against him. Hold your nose and vote if you value what the President is doing.

No more compromises please.

I stopped voting RINO in 2014 and I will not vote RINO again for my House or Senate seats in DC and beyond.

In general elections I vote third party or write in names 4 out of 5 times on the ballot for offices at all levels.

“You FL people do what you want. I don’t see Scott as an improvement, and I see more value in getting his ass handed to him for going against the 2A than unseating Nelson.”
__________________
I’m not a FL person, but:

I’d ordinarily agree, but not this time. I can’t stand what Scott did, but we need every vote that we can get in the Senate for judicial nominees, and to forestall any attempt at impeachment.

As General George S. Patton, Jr. was fond of saying: “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”

Getting beyond issues where Scott turns Left the big thing about Rick Scott is that he was “Astroturf Tea Party” really a front man for the hospital industry he came from wanting its cut of Obamacare which was a big issue when Rick first emerged on the political scene.

Perhaps a good slogan for Scott would be.

“Your Second Amendment is my toilet paper”

What you saying is you vote petulance over principal.

Rather then moving the political ball down the field, you throw a temper tantrum every two years because you don't get only 100% what you want in the political process. This behavior make you utterly politically impotent and irrelevant by choice

This idiots dogma of "Movement Conservatives" is too stupid to be understood. It represent a total infantile ignorance of how politics works.

This petulant childish chest pounding and whiny political posturing about "voting third party" is not "badge of honor" for a Conservative, it is a mark of pure political idiocy

Also a plus, according to the article, is that Scott is willing to work his a$$ off.

Fact: Republican: Governor, Rick Scott will beat Democrat, Senator, Bill Nelson with this margin of victory over 1,000,000 votes. A political slaughter in the making.

However, I have a positive, great idea for Senator, Nelson. He should have Congresswoman, Debbi Wasserman Schultz, Broward County, Sheriff, Scott Israel & Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson campaign with him across the state, 100% of the time!!! Wow...what a quartet of low lifes!!!

I agree. Dems want to turn us against Scott. Yes, I disagree with some things Scott has done. But he still is better than Nelson. And he is needed re Supreme Court.

What do you think Nelson and Schumer and Pelosi want to do to the 2nd amendment?

DiFi was a heck of a mayor in SF. Kept all the whackos at arms length. Gets to the Senate and becomes almost one of them overtime. Who’s to say Scott won’t do the same in the opposite direction? Buckley rule for starters. Use your head.

Scott’s already compromised it and laws passed after the 1960’s assassinations already compromise the Second Amendment.

You can’t defend the Constitution when you slowly abridge it like Scott did in FL.

Think votes to Impeach Trump folks. Don't kid yourself, that is exactly what he Democrats will do if they win. They never think about consequences in any of their poltical actions. It is always about immediate poltical gratification of their emotionally hysteric dogmas. We all know Muller is a clown show. A total manufactured fraud.

Go watch their "news" shows and read their websites. THEY REALLY believe all the Muller nonsense. Truth doesn't matter to a Dem, only what they believe or want to believe. Lose the House and Senate, or if it is even close in the Senate, Trump will be removed from Office
