If that results in a Democrat Governor and a Democrat AG, so be it.

Scott has been a good governor. I say this as a public school teacher for which I'm constantly excoriated at work, but to no avail. That group of liberal predators is one that I can handle as I have done for the past 25 years. Bondi has been a good AG, despite this unfortunate turn of events. Politics is not a clean business. It's ugly, dirty and vile. Everybody has to get their hands dirty to a certain extent. That's why it takes people willing to DO that sort of thing and still have a core basis of political beliefs they use as a guide. It's so easy to be the armchair quarterback and criticize from the sidelines. If you can do a better job, then run!

Hell, I fully understand your frustration with the whole ugly mess. I got so sick of the internal filth built into the system and the RINOs at the national level (Boehner and Cantor and their ilk) that I left the Republican party after 37 years of loyal volunteerism, activism and being a donor. At first, I felt a little rudderless, but now I've decided that I like it. As an independent, I can turn my cannon on anybody and not feel a whit of guilt. That freedom has allowed me to really look into all sides without the filters of brand loyalty and I sort of looked at everybody with an eye to doing what I thought needed to get done. I think it's better to have a Republican who strays from the path than a democrat who lives off the path and forges their own trail with their ideology as guide. Obama is a perfect example of this. There were times when even Reagan strayed from the path in the name of getting a job done. That's politics.

How many innocent people did Reagan attempt to put in prison to appease a lynch mob?
