Bill Nelson is a POS but so is open-borders RINO Connie Mack.

Good idea. The other possible candidates are all RINOs

Rep. Allen West has, barely, been a Rep. long enough! I don’t “get” the idea of running politicians for other political offices, while they haven’t had enough time yet to “get their feet wet” in their present political jobs.

Mack Mariied Sonny Bono’s widow who represents Palm Springs and a wide swath of CA desert communities. She claims to be a Republican, but votes more often the liberal line.

You might want to at least know how to spell a candidate’s name when promoting.

What’s funny is that all Charlie Crist had to do was drop out and endorse Rubio last round and he’d be the nominee.

Were he to run, Jeb Bush would defeet Nelson handily.
I hope a conservative takes out Nelson, not Jeb as he is a RINO like his older brother.

Jerb is for amnesty.
He did a fine job as Govenor as he kept a lid on spending but he is NO conservative.

Because he misses on one checkbox out of a long list of conservative issues doesn’t make him a RINO.

Mack IV is a 100% no-go. His disgusting Nazi reference over the Arizona law is unforgiveable. I want his ass out of Congress, period. Other than that, I haven’t settled on a choice for Senator. Bill Nelson is VERY beatable so long as his opponent has no high negs a la KH. I wouldn’t mind seeing Col. West or Lt. Gov. Carroll, although I think the latter is being groomed to be the next Governor for 2019-2027.

No, Jeb is a Super RINO. He grew government faster than a Democrat and raised taxes at light speed.

Funny, if you do a Google search for “Jeb Bush tax increase” you’ll literally get a message that says that there are no matches. You people that keep pushing this Jeb Bush is a RINO nonsense are crazy. To even begin to equate him with someone like Charlie Crist or Lisa Murkowski, or the crazy chicks from Maine, is just being completely disingenuous about what a conservative is.

And abortion? Seriously? Can anyone find some evidence that Jeb Bush is pro-choice or pro-abortion? He certainly never showed that in 8 years as governor.

Jeb Bush is not only the best, but the most conservative governor we’ve had here in my lifetime. I would proudly vote for him for the Senate.

If you want to know a Bush man’s real views on homosexuality or abortion, you have to ask their wife. Barbara wore the pants for Bush 41 and Laura for Bush 43. I’d be interested to know what Mrs. Columba Bush has to say on those issues. Perhaps she has more character than her mother-in-law or sister-in-law.
