Doubts about Bill Nelson beating Rick Scott grow

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.

I guess you aren’t too familiar with due process.

And I'm guessing from your failure to list his offenses that you've realized what a raging lunatic you've made of yourself, and so seek to change the direction to which my question leads.

Bill Nelson, aside from being a skull like fossil- is stupid beyond analysis. His real estate dealings in the Everglades should be looked at, with a microscope. He is a crook, who waddled around with Debbie washed out shulz. Everything to line his own “family ranch” story with an environmental twist. His actions during the Challenger disaster ought to be brought up as well, if neccesary (hopefully it will not be, but the story there is not pretty, and yet another example of his machine politics with the old NASA, not to mention doing nothing about the change with obamaumao’s new muslim outreach NASA). He’s a joke.

Scott cut 15,000 state employees in one year. Then there’s his push for State pension reform.

Scott is very intelligent and is running some great, common sense ads in FL. The leftists hate him.

Bottom line: Scott = MAGA.

Then there were his recent supportive comments about statehood for Puerto Rico.

I’m gonna have to think long and hard on this one.

My NUMERO UNO reason for Voting for Donald Trump is the Courts, especially the SCOTUS.

We need to keep control of the Senate or we will never get any more Conservative Judges seated.

This isn’t just an Election cycle issue, this is a Generational Issue that impacts the future of our Constitutional Republic.

The chance to prevent Scott from being the Republican Senatorial Candidate is the Primary Election.

In the General Election you Vote Republican or you gift your Vote to the DemoncRats, period.

Nelson is a guaranteed 0% supporting Trump.

Scott’s always been another slime-ball suit, but he’s looking more and more like Crist. It’s standard GOP—80% on the little stuff and screw you every time on the big issues.

If Trump weren’t in office, I’d never vote for either one, but this makes it hard. After Rubio, I promised to write them all off: liars, traitors, lawyers, politicians, thieves and snakes—every one.

I swear if these mealy-mouthed bastards screw Trump, they’ll find out firsthand about the Second Amendment.

Most of the comments including mine aren’t coming from Floridians. Scott can still and should, open up on the failures created by those Promise policies at MS Douglas HS and let Nelson defend them even if it would open possible law suits. Because that’s going to happen anyway.

Scott is a certified wimp. He is standard-issue dyed-in-the-wool GOPe. He will support Trump only because he has to. He will not fight Nelson or anyone else, but there will be plenty of 3rd party mudslinging.

The race is really a battle between slugs. Neither one is worth the powder to blow them to hell, but Scott will MAGA—at least initially.

It’s just that pesky 17th Amendment—we keep sending Floridians to Congress and they morph into Washingtonians. Must be the air—they may need a little whiff of cordite or that distinctive smell of new rope to get their senses right.

——It would be a blowout if the traitor Scott hadn’t signed the gun-control bill. He pissed off over half the conservatives in Florida and definitely lost the panhandle.——

Oh’ please...Floridian here...

So all those conservatives in the panhandle are going to seat on their ass and stay home ? Who are they going to vote for ?

Scott got some flaws, but compared to Nelson....Wait’ there is no comparison.

Sitting here in the Panhandle right now. They aren’t voting for Nelson, but a lot won’t be voting for Scott because they’re pissed off. It’s about getting out the vote, and Scott is viewed as a coward and a untrustworthy idiot.

Some people get a little one-issue on the Second.

Your comments are baseless and foolish, and do not require a serious response, or any response at all. Good day.

I am a two issue voter. Second Amendment and pro life. If you are fine with limiting my rights to self defense or murdering children, you are scum. Period.

Nelson and Scott are both scum. Scott is worse in that he pretends to be on our side, but only because he has to. He would disarm us in a heartbeat if he thought he could get away with it.

In any case, if you fail as a candidate on those two issues, nothing else you say or do mitigates it. I generally find that grabbers and child killers tend to be dishonest anyway, so nothing else they say can be trusted.

I will not tolerate a traitor. Not for convenience, not for any reason. If you set two men in front of me, one my enemy and one a traitor within the ranks, with the means to utterly defeat one of them, I will choose to defeat the traitor every single time.

Traitors are more dangerous than enemies.
