I love him but could he win the Senate seat?

What are his prospects for keeping his House seat?

Neil, he won’t win his seat again if a run is made by a legitimate opponent. He is my congressman, btw.

I do think Allen could win the senate seat and no one could take that away from him.

Seniority. West has a toehold in the House and will rise to leadership position there.

I like the idea of him campaigning all the time, like a House member must do, because when he opens his mouth, he speaks the truth.

The senate needs someone that speaks as he does. I don’t think he needs to be on the campaign trail to do it. I think he could really shake things up there.

I think the RINOs in the Florida Senate have decided to join with the Rats and redistrict his seat to include more libs. Just a reminder for all those who think you can trust RINOs.
