FL: Sen. Nelson looks to 2018, starts building war chest

[Flake]

I'd love to see Murphy run for Senate this year, Nelson run for Governor in 2018, and Graham run for Senator in 2018, but you can't always get what you want.

Good, I'd like to keep this seat in Democratic hands. Thankfully he's the one competent person in the Florida Democratic Party.

I would love to see Rick Scott being finally crushed, but unfortunately with all the money he has, I guess he will manage to defeat him...

It's Bill Nelson. You're acting like he's literally any other Florida Democrat.

He's not. But still, Rick Scott is so lucky.

He won two races by 1% in midterm elections against weak candidates after spending tens of millions of his own money (that he stole from medicare). He'd lose in a landslide against Nelson.
