And we Florida Democrats are stuck with him.

I've lived here 25 years and have seen Jeb and now Scott destroy this beautiful state. Crist was in between in every sense of the word.

Florida May never recover.

But suing to stop the feds from cutting off money for Medicaid is far different than suing to stop the expansion of Medicaid.
