So I saw that he was trending on Twitter and it was because he said that the Senate trial was a complete waste of time. Then I was reminded of how much of a right-wing partisan hack he was. But what is baffling is that he has won all three of his state-wide races by less than a point. You would think that with those results that he would be more of a moderate and try to represent all his constituents...But he has shown us that there is no reason to reach out to the so-called moderate voter or trying to be bipartisan...You get elected by shoring up your base not by pretending to be a moderate...Give your base something to vote for and they will come out for you, pretend to be some moderate and you will lose (in most instances)....Especially in Florida.

(24,284 posts)They seem to be very good at guaranteeing one point victories down there. They've been doing it for decades.

(4,167 posts)Or what I like to call L.A. (Lower Alabama)...The Republicans are all about projection, so when they yell fraud or call out big urban cities for voter dumps, that means that they are doing it. The Panhandle is on central standard time unlike the rest of the state, so their polls close an hour later and they also report later...They know exactly what they need to win.

Im sure he counts on voter suppression to win.
