Perhaps, but seeing as how Posey actually ISN’T some GOPe squish and you’d have to look long and hard to find something non-conservative about Haridopolous’ term in the FL Senate, this seems like a good move.
Much better than a primary with a bunch of wannabees splitting the right-wing vote and letting some squish similar to John Rutherford, Mike Waltz, Vern Buchanan, Carlos Gimenez, Maria Salazar, etc. become the next new congressman from Florida.
A real conservative getting elected would be refreshing.
Perhaps this was Posey's plan to prevent a party selected squish from getting the seat?
I've also read that back in 2008 when Posey first sought his current seat, he offered to stand back and endorse Haridopolous. Regardless, it seems he is quite conservative, and not a nutjob. That he named one of his children Reagan is a bonus.
