BREAKING: FL State Legislature today introduced bill to change FL Resign to Run Law

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Isn't this what tricky Lyndon had the legislature do in Texas in 1960?
It backfired on him and it'll backfire on little tinpot dictator Meatball Ron too.

How exactly did it backfire on Landslide Lyndon? He got elected vice president and if the Dem ticket lost the election, which it came fairly close to doing so, he would have had a Senate seat still, and thus been tied for the most powerful Democrat in Washington.

Instead of carrying a colleague to victory in 1960 on his own coattails, his selfish move only strengthened the case for his Republican opponent Tower, who then won the special after Lyndon resigned in 1961.

1960 was to be the last time Dems won the Class 2 Texas seat - a net loss for LBJ's party and for the principles he advocated.

Your partisanship is blinding you to the fact that you can't have both an effective governor and a presidential campaigner over the next 18 months.

Plus the entire idea of changing the law for one person reeks of privilege and saviour complex.

I dunno if I can agree with your conclusions here, a lot of this reeks of an overwrought reaction and overextrapulation on your part.
John Tower's win in 1961 was something of a perfect storm.
