“They are too busy easily convincing Republicans they still lost and should follow their agenda. “
That was posted by CA Guy. It is true, and echoed by the media.
“Why do all these reports omit Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)?”
Nelson was beatable in 2012. However the establishment decided to run a legacy, Connie Mach IV, instead of a strong candidate.
Democrats have always been Socialists, but they managed to keep that pretty well hidden until the 1968 DNC National Convention and Riots.
The result of the riots was that the hardliners successfully wrested control of the party from the moderates.
What we are seeing is the fruits of that hard Left turn.
The Republican moderates are attempting to lead us down the same road.
You mean the communists, when you say ‘hard liners’ right?
North and parts of Central Florida are very much like South Georgia...the Deep South.
It might have been OK if it was his father but CM.IV was indeed a light-weight and helium-inflated at that. Of course it was 2012 so the entire GOP thought that all we had to do was run Romney and Obama was toast! We forgot that Obama had a free 3 months to smear Romney along with the MSM 'unbiased' coverage so everyone got stonkered! The Good Lord knows that FlGOP had better candidates but what is past is past! We will need better in 2018, Nelson looks healthy enough to run again.

The abuse of greatness is, when it disjoins Remorse from power: and, to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his affections sway'd More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber-upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round. He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.(William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar)
Yes but then you have the CDs that elect Alan Grayson [Orlando] and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, not to mention the assigned minority districts for the likes of Alcee Hastings and the like. DWS is a born-in-NYC who drank the koolaid with her mother's milk and brought it down with her. You also have family legacy candidates like Gwen Graham, daughter of former governor/senator Bob Graham, who took the CD around Tallahassee this year (60% Dem. gov & union workers.) And the Tampa CD returned another family legacy in Kathy Castor, daughter of a locally prominent Dem. family.
So overall Florida is not quite 'Deep South'!
Florida appears to be an enigma.
Yes. Todays Liberal leaders, Communists, Socialists, you name it. Different spelling, same goal.
I did say parts of C Fla. Southern states have their share of radical democratic pols...Clyburn in SC, Cohen in TN, Lewis and a couple of others in GA...
After all, they too are just typical white people.
Bil Nelson: a hemorrhoid on the rectum of life.
I would have agreed about Nelson 6 months ago. Now I feel that if he has a capable challenger he will fold during a campaign. He just cannot make a rational point on his feet. Any debate will find him confused unfocused and not qualified for another 6 year term.
