If he won that nomination, one could hope that enough Floridians who might otherwise have considered voting for a GOP candidate would perceive Gaetz as being too far off the crazy deep end.

Gaetz needs to be in prison though not in office.

One lesson I learned long ago was not to make emotional decisions about supporting candidates. I dont care if someones running against Gays or Greene or Jorden. I need a compelling explanation of how they think they can win.
