2014 Florida Governor's race...................Bill Nelson?

This is down right scary.....................

Florida: Former Gov. (and former Republican) Charlie Crist, now a Democrat, had been expected to try and get his old job back, but Sen. Bill Nelson, D, is now expressing interest. Nelson lacks Crist’s negatives and remains popular.

Either man starts out as a huge favorite over incumbent Gov. Rick Scott, R, even if he does follow through on his promise to spend $100 million, mostly his own money.

Scott’s numbers have been awful for a couple of years now, and he has never looked weaker. His approval is underwater by double digits, and he polls in the 30s against Crist, which is always fatal for an incumbent. He won by a hair in 2010 after spending $78 million, and he has since managed to alienate nearly every important group in the state — including conservatives, with his attempted embrace of Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.

Florida Republicans have some young stars and a good bench on their team, and so the race might not seem as hopeless if Scott were to call it quits suddenly. But as long as he’s in, the calculations for mounting a primary challenge are different when you’re up against someone who is literally willing to spend a fortune.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
