he has probably been the least obvious of any candidate, and probably waiting to see what the primary field looks like

The Florida Democratic party is practically non-existent.

if it was an off year I would agree with you but it's a presidential election cycle so turn out will be higher
So he might be a grifter who only cares about federal money for contractors, but he votes the right way so I guess I'm fine with it? He will also never, every lose unless he actually gets caught stealing or funneling pork money to a friend, and maybe not even then because those kind of things are just kind of expected in the RGV.
that's... pretty much it if you're not in the leadership ranks. house politics are extremely local. that's sort of the point of that side of the building

Yeah, my phrasing sucked there. The fact that I was getting emails from national progressive organizations encouraging me to primary my rep was weird, not the rep himself. I mean, he's a Texas democrat who votes the party line and doesn't make an ass of himself, what more do you want? Go spend money in a race that matters.
Sounds like a logic problem.
Okay, let me see... The net result is... NOTHING HAPPENS?

Also unrelated, but Joe Biden once attended a mass at the local Catholic church and then got ice cream in my little podunk town. It caused a lot of hullabaloo.
I'm actually less worried about the national elections and more concerned with the State and local elections here. We have two city council seats up for grabs, and there is a recall petition going around for the current mayor. Exciting times.
I really have a hard time believing that the GOP will put out a strong candidate. If they can settle on a moderate they'll be in the best position. If the GOP wins a majority of both houses this time around then my opinion will shift the other way, but we'll see. They still have to provide the public with solid results after winning the seats.
It's kinda annoying since most of his campaign has been over coal, when Grimes is just as much in Big Coal's pocket, as he is.
Alison's been running on the issue of gender based wage discrimination, and implementing a higher minimum wage, and I just don't understand how average voters could be more passionate over coal.

every gun purchase requires you to submit to a full background check, but the results are thrown directly into the trash without being read
That's damning with faint praise.
Rich Scott is a raving lunatic and also maybe an alien
Edit: Haha that typo is amazingly accurate so I'm leaving it.

I dunno, his tweet doesn't seem that weird. That's been their plan since 2008.

that's going to be fun
Don't laugh, he's up a few points according to 538's model.
Nothing like xenophobia combined with irrational fear to drum up some support.
