Bill Nelson takes shots at Donald Trump in concession to Rick Scott
The Washington Times ^ | November 18, 2018 | James Varney

Following a protracted recount battle, three-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson conceded Sunday, acknowledging GOPGov. Rick Scott has been elected to replace him in January.

“Well, things worked out a little differently than Grace and I had hoped,” Mr. Nelson’s statement read. “But let me say, I by no measure feel defeated. And that’s because I have had the privilege of serving the people of Florida and our country for most of my life.”

As he left the political stage, Mr. Nelson, 76, also took a parting shot at President Trump.

“We have to move beyond a politics that aims not just to defeat but to destroy,” Mr. Nelson’s said. “Where truth is treated as disposable, where falsehoods abound, and the free press is assaulted as the ‘enemy of the people.’”

Trump doesnt give a sh*t about losers like Nelson. I’m sure he’s happy Nelson lost AND mad at the same time.

Part I & II are the LIB ‘playbook’ and Part III is the result a thinking man comes up with when MSM blindly follows the lead of I & II.

The results in those three states were close that 2016 night and were not good for us. All of our Senate candidates lost & so did Walker.

Most high profile race of the night and the Republicans won it. Been waiting for Nelson to lose for a long time.
