Nov 2013

Most of his term Crist continued the policies of Jeb Bush, After he got out of office he still espoused those policies. Crist was a Bush creation and I believe he is still a Bush adherent at heart. That is what makes him shit still in my view.

Sure, he'll call himself a Democrat and put that 'D' behind his name - Crist will do ANYTHING to stay in the public eye and to win elections.

I don't like or trust him even if he isn't quite as much a crook as Scott. Saying he's not as bad as Scott is damning with faint praise. If that is the best reason most have to vote for him, we have no viable Democratic candidate.
