Get you head out of your ass.

Scott votes with Trump. Nelson votes against. Having a temper-tantrum and not voting with someone who agrees with you 80% of the time to elect a guy 100% against you, is petulance not principal.

This idiocy being pushed by supposed "Movement Conservatives" that it is better to lose then elect someone who does not agree 100% with their dogmas is infantile and stupid. That is not how politics works.

And let address the real season for this dogma. Political cowardice. it allows the poster to fake "I'm above the fray, I hate both Dems and Repbs". It High School level ego and posturing and utterly stupid to see in a supposedly rational adult.

You are not "voting on principal" when you do that, you are voting petulantly because you did not get 100% of only what you

It's not a matter of 80% or 100%, it's that he took the initiative to take a steaming dump on the 2nd Amendment rights of Floridians. Scott it probably more than 90% on many things, but he's apparently 0% on one of the three or so things I will not brook compromise on. I'm weary of it. 99% of the time whoever we vote for doesn't result in positive change. When was the last time we had positive movement on the 2nd Amendment at a national level? We won't even get national reciprocity, never mind eased restrictions on suppressors and some other NFA stuff. When was the last time we had a budget? The military has gotten more PC under Trump and "Mad Dog" than it was under Obama. Helmets being redesigned to accommodate female hairstyles! Maternity BATTLE DRESS uniforms! Girls are now being assigned to combat arms units in both the Army and Marine Corps, and nobody has lifted a finger to stop it. I'm tired.

In this case I have the luxury of not being a Florida resident so I don't have to decide. Here is Massachusetts nobody but Marxists have a chance anyway (our state GOP is left of many state 'Rat parties and slavishly emphasize that it's a "fiscal conservative" party, not a social one) so in fact I seldom have to choose anyway, but that doesn't make it any less discouraging.
