Nasty tone dominates Grayson-Murphy primary race for US Senate seat
http://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2016/05/20/nasty-tone-dominates-grayson-murphy-primary-race-for-us-senate-seat

Congressman Alan Grayson has long mocked his U.S. Senate primary opponent Patrick Murphy as not being a true Democrat. Lately, as Murphy has become the clear pick of the party establishment, from the White House on down, Grayson has churned out the descriptions "lickspittle pillock" and —- closer to the 21st century —- party "sock puppet" to deride his fellow congressman.

This week, Murphy's campaign seemingly dipped into the playbook of presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in attacking the outspoken Grayson.

Where Trump has had success by tossing nicknames such as "Lyin' Ted" and "Little Marco" at rivals, Murphy broke out the moniker "Angry Alan" for Grayson.

Democrats see this year's race for the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential opportunity to help grab control of the U.S. Senate from the GOP. But the tone of the Democratic primary has focused heavily on personal attacks, rather than issues. Political observers said such a tone more and more has become the political normal.
