Can we trust this guy? I mean, he switched parties.
He's changed parties - but he hasn't changed his beliefs, which have stayed fairly middle-of-the-road throughout. A governor who extends early voting has no place in a party dedicated to voter suppression, one who opposes merit pay has no place in Krazen's GOP, and one who supports a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants has no place in CARLHAYDEN's GOP. Crist has always been a moderate in an increasingly far-right party; eventually something had to give. I'll be supporting Charlie.
I agree that this is one of the few cases of, "I didn't leave the party; the party left me."
Gimme me a break. He may have been moderate for a Republican, but if Rubio hadn't happened he'd be a Republican Senator today.
This. Rubio is not exactly Ted Cruz. Crist put his ambition above Florida, and lost, and now wants to be relevant. It’s not like he was primaried by Rick Scott and quit being Governor.
Rubio happened because the part left behind people like Charlie Crist.
And the only reason Rubio is "not exactly Ted Cruz" is because Ted Cruz happened. You can't out-crazy crazy.
