Rick Scott screwed us on the assault rifle issue. Hope he looses the primary. If he doesn’t, I hope the Dems pick up that seat.

Nelson has been a brain dead Democrat for ALL of his far too lengthy career. I would vote for a dead horse before I would ever vote for Nelson WHO HOLDS THE SENATE SEAT IN QUESTION.
I am angry with Scott too over the assault rifle issue, however, I am NOT DUMB ENOUGH to throw Scott off the bridge in favor of a bloody damn COMMIE like Nelson. Scott has been a GOOD GOVERNOR with only a few errors. Since I vote in Florida and am a 2nd Amendment Defender, I WILL BE voting for Scott.
I am getting to the point of disgust with the purist tendencies of many posts on this site. Add to this a large helping of pessimism that verges on defeatism
If confronted with a choice between a communist — which is basically all any Democrat is these days — and a moderate GOPer, what does common sense tell us?
Well, my common sense tells me that I’d rather have someone who votes for freedom half the time than one who votes all the time to further enslave the American people.
But some here on FR evidently believe that it’s better to remain ideologically pure — and lose.
I was glad to vote for Rick Scott twice for governor. His leadership during last year’s hurricanes proved he was the right choice.

Good points ZULU, exactly as I feel.
Scott is not the darling of the GOPe in Fl either as those of us here know. As far as the assault vote, the bill was passed by a very GOP controlled legislature. What was he to do, veto it and have to run against his own party and the dems? We cannot afford to lose the senate, if scott wins I am confident he will support conservative SC judges. We MUST get two on their during Trump’s time or we can kiss 2A goodbye. It is called losing a battle but winning a war strategy IMO.
On the Gov side, Putnam is running a well funded campaign against Ron DeSantis so I am not sure he will be the nommonee. I will vote for him first over Putnam who seems to the the party choice.
Rick Scott is a moral coward.
Pressured by the David Hogg’s of America, he buckled like a wet tissue.
He WILL do the same in Congress.
Nelson already holds that seat.
We don’t need a coward like Scott, or a traitor lIke Romney attacking Trump from his own party.
I am not obtuse enough to not realize a RINO is far more dangerous than a Democrat.
Ditto what you said. I’ll send him a few bucks, distribute yard signs, maybe man a phone bank.
Scott is OK. Yeah, he blew it on the guns thing. But Nelson has GOT to go!!!
