I only got to see the last 30 minutes or so, mostly the foreign policy section and closings. I'm not sure if it was different in the first part, but from what I saw, Murphy's performance was an embarrassment. Doing everything you can to link Rubio to Trump probably IS the right idea, but Murphy's knee-jerk reaction of "but you support Trump" even to substantive answers made him look, somehow, like even more of an empty suit with no ideas than Marco Rubio.
I guess this just confirmed for me that Murphy is trying
hard to be the most generic D of all generic Ds and to never say anything about himself or what he believes in, but that's just not enough to get it done in Florida. I'll go into the voting booth securely knowing that (somehow) Marco Rubio is the candidate of substance(
). Murphy and the Florida Dems are blowing a very winnable race with a terrible campaign and the DSCC decision is looking better and better.
