DeSantis naming Lara Trump to fill Rubio’s seat wouldn’t be the most corrupt appointment from a governor like Rod Blagojevich did when considering candidates to fill Barack Obama’s seat.

Ted Kennedy. Because the younger Kennedy was too young to take up the remainder of the term family patriarch Joseph Kennedy instructed Gov. Foster Furcolo to name a family friend as placeholder. Say what you will about Joe’s tactics, but Teddy won the seat fair and square in the 1962 midterm elections and held it until his death in 2009.

Does MSNBC actually have the mental capacity to determine if something is ethical or not? I mean, this is the same group that was a cheerleader for Hunter Biden!

Agree. Let the phony moralists clutch their pearls. If chosen, she’ll be a great senator.

Appointing Lara has a bad look.

Who cares except maybe The View and the Madcow? Join their ranks.......

There are others more deserving who are actual Floridians.

I agree. Andrew Gillum would be an excellent bi-partisan choice.....

I get that you’re being sarcastic.

What about Byron Donalds? Gaetz? Moody?

Lara’s appointment would be like Hillary and RFK Sr. — newbies to NY stepping on others to reach political goals.

I think Lara is amazing. Dynasties are not amazing.
