He’s a gun control advocate. I hope he loses.

Silly question here....can Trump rally the governors to change the constitution?
He’s being very active in some of these elections.

Nelson is older. He will retire soon. I'd rather gamble on the governor appointing a competent replacement than see John McCain 2.0 elected.

When a republican like Scott starts prattling about gun control, it usually causes gun control to pass because conservatives will forgive "their" people more readily than they should. Conservatives will fight "the enemy" (ie, Democrats, ie Nelson in this case) more robustly.

We are less likely to get gun control with Nelson than we are Scott. So piss on Rick Scott. I'd rather see Nelson hold the seat for now and have the governor replace him. It would be very hard for the result of that sequence of events to be worse than to have another backstabbing, pants wetting RINO in the Senate for the next 30 years.

See my tag line. There are reasons that traitors are more dangerous than enemies.

Scott is auditioning for a role as Swamp Creature. Doesn’t he know he’s supposed to wait until he gets sworn in before he sells out his base?

No candidate will ever get my vote again who is a betrayer of the 2nd Amendment.

If a candidate is solid on 2A, the odds greatly favor his adherence to the rest of the Constitution.

I abandoned Rubio when he called everyone racist who opposed his Gang of Eight immigration bill. Scott can KMA on his gun control stupidity - and now this.

Good luck Rick. Get yourself some tan in a bottle to help the transition into Charlie Crist.

Then you are a poltical moron. BOTH are “gun Control advocates”

Scot will vote with Trump. Nelson will vote against Trump.

So it obvious to anyone not a Democrat stooge pretending to be a “Conservative” who you should want to win.

They’re both amnesty advocates, too.
Seems like the citizens lose with either of them.

Bush League Republicans must become extinct before the Republic does.

Too bad Rick Scott is a dick. He kust slammed Trump on immigration, blaming him for child separation. In states like FL and UT even if thw Republican wins, it will be like a Democrat pick up.

Learn to write in English and I'll consider your thoughts. Or were you pulling a Mark Twain and attempting to write in dialect?

Nelson would not retire before his term is up.

That is just plain stupid talk.

There are times, when the choice we are given is to vote for a Rat or a RINO. Saying you hate both, and either directly has your self-interests at heart can be very true.

But that is still the choice, even though you wish you had the unicorn option, you don’t.

The Rat is always vote against you. The RINO is mostly vote against you. That is the choice you are presented with. You still vote for the RINO as the least worse of the two. The RINO still helps your cause sometimes.

Specifically, having one less Rat and one more RINO helps with judges and Supremes. Sticking one head in the sand wishing for a unicorn is defeatist.
