If Florida votes him in again they need their heads examined. It's on record he did nothing. NOTHING.



+1. I would not want such a disinterested, lazy person representing my state.

The Florida primaries for Senate are August 30. Deadline for filing is June 24 (one week from today).

Yup. Jolly will drop out; others will probably follow. So it will come down to Rubio vs. Patrick Murphy, and with luck a big Clinton win will put Murphy over the top.


Seems that Clinton will need a hell of a lot more than luck.
My, how things change in just over a week.

This time last week, everything was aces for Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.).

He was favored to beat fellow Rep. Alan Grayson in the Sunshine State's Democratic Senate primary. Republicans had a giant field to replace retiring Sen. Marco Rubio. At 33, Murphy looked to be on the verge of another big step in a promising political career.

Then Wednesday happened.

First, Rubio announced that he was reversing course and running for a second term. That decision immediately thinned the Republican field, leaving only Rubio and wealthy businessman Carlos Beruff still running. It also increased Republicans' chances of holding the seat, with polling suggesting Rubio has a high single-digit edge over Murphy or Grayson.

Things went from bad to way, way worse for Murphy later that day. A report by longtime Florida journalist Jim DeFede detailed a series of exaggerations and outright untruths in the young congressman's résumé. That included claims that he was a certified public accountant (er, not really) and a small business owner (kind of, sort of).

Republican Party 54
Democratic Party 45
Independent 1

The independent is Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Dems; Sanders is now a Dem, and claims he will continue to be one. If the Dems win four seats, the VP's tie-breaking vote will give control to whichever party wins the White House. If they take five, they will have control no matter who is VP.

Of course he is - I mean where else would he get so many "donations" without showing up to work?

He is not popular in Florida. I hope the Dms have a good contender. If they do, Florida will go to them. Little Marco who never showed up to work wants to keep his job.
