how will we keep Florida from being stolen in 2016?

The fact is, if either Bush or Rubio run, they know how to flip the vote stealing machine, because THEY BUILT IT. Add to this the rather tragic efforts of Debbie wasser-man Schulz, and we have a problem, because Rick Scott will gladly approve any mayhem.

He doesn't care about the facts; he only cares about getting what he wants. If he wants Bush or Rubio to win, he won't have any compunction about pulling strings to get that result.

and no, it is not unreasonable for someone to ask how someone who became the dead of the Democratic Party cannot be called about about the very dismal record of the democratic party in her HOMESTATE, and a state that happens to be a DECIDING VOTE.

And he's pretty popular with Florida's hispanics. It will be difficult for any Democrat to beat him in that state.

Especially if we take Texas. People who say it's a fool's dream are probably right, but putting Texas in play will drain a lot of resources from regions where Republicans are vulnerable, to be utilized in Texas, which is supposed to be safe.

We don't need Florida if we work hard in other regions.
