As the days wind into summer, Rick Scott is on his way to capture the last statewide office that Democrats hold.
The only Big D still standing is U. S. Sen. Bill Nelson, who Scott is runnilng against. Unfortunately for D’s, Nelson represents the status quo when voters appear to be demanding change.
Nelson has yet to explain how another six-year term will be different than the past 45 years he served as an elected Democrat.
His slogan echoes Nelson’s past: “Fighting For Florida. Always Has. Always Will.”
Fighting who? Republicans, of course, and most certainly Donald Trump.
Being a Democrat and anti-Trump is all that Nelson really has going for him. With Trumps’ poll numbers climbing, that is a chancy bet in Florida.
Always remember that Trump won Florida by more than 100,000 votes. Always remember that Florida is a state where Democratic statewide candidates have rarely been victorious.
