FL-Sen: Scott almost certainly running

[KingSweden]

It’s worth noting Scott had two fairly narrow wins in massive GOP waves. Now, Irma has helped him recover, of course, but I’m still not taking this anywhere other than Lean D.

I still think that the influx of people displaced from Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria is going to give Florida a D-ward push for the next few years.

I think the effects of this will be marginal near term, honestly. Rare to find somewhere where you and I disagree!

Well, when compared to the total voting population of the state, the influx is indeed quite small.  My thinking is that even a small delta will have quite a bit of leverage because of how close the statewide elections tend to be.

Ah that makes sense. Fair enough.

Congrats to the next senator from Florida, Rick Scott.

I’d read the replies to that Tweet.

Also suggesting Wray resign over this is absurd. Yes, FBI dropped the ball but that’s low level grunts working on those tip lines
