Any chance he spoils the race enough for a republican to pick up the district

[YE]

Honestly a GOP in FL-23 would mean no more DWS and it'd be a one cycle wonder. May not be a bad thing if and only if the Dems already had won down the House.

No.

DWS (D): 52%
Generic R: 36%
Canova (I): 12%

[Landslide Lyndon]

Canova has been exposed as a Fox News conspiracy-spewing crackpot. Even Bernie Sanders and his minions, who passionately supported him two years ago, won't touch him now with a ten-foot pole. He had 5000 dollars in the bank last December and gained no traction in the Democratic primary.

Whoever thinks that this guy is going to crack double digits in an election where Democrats are hellbent to retake the House, and give the finger to Trump, needs to have his head examined.   

[I’m not Stu]

Canova wants FL-23 to go R.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

If the dems nominate Wasserman-Schultz again, I hope the GOP wins the district.

It will depend on which Republican will win the congressional nomination there.

[Oryxslayer]

Nope. Canova got 20k votes in the primary in 2016, and that was when he was a semi-national figure, and fully backed by the Sanders wing. He now lacks any cash, or national presence to capitalize on. Him going indie is an effective way of saying "I was going to loose the primary, much worse then in 2016." Oh, and this is a D+11 seat. Oh, and many of those D voters are the kind who want to send a message to Trump, minorities and jews. Oh, and the fact that independents always loose votes down the stretch as people realize they are floundering. Face it, Canova would be lucky to come near 10% and probably ends up way below the relevance threshold.

A great example of this is MI-11 2016. In 2014, the sub-par incumbent was ousted in the primary. In 2016, he decided to got at the seat as an indie. Guess what he got against Trott as a former incumbent? 4%.

 

[Jeppe]

No, Canova will be lucky to hit 5%. Hillary got 69% here, DWS is fine.

Lmao

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

This is another one of few races where I would vote for the Republican or third-party candidate* just to vote against the incumbent Democrat, especially if I lived in a safe district like this where it wouldn't matter.  Toxic Democrats need to go.

*well, not Tim Canova obviously

Queen Debbie will destroy him

This is generous to Canova, tbh. And also ungenerous to DWS.

[Canis]

So Clinton got 69% of this district in 2016 Debbie got 57% in 2016 does that mean there are a lot more down ballot Republicans here or did a lot of canova people back the republican?

More like:

DWS: 55%
Generic R: 40%
Canova: 5%

Sorry, it was actually 62% Clinton.

[Rhenna]

If Canova somehow pushed Debbie out of this seat and the R won I wouldn't be mad. It would just be Joseph Cao 2.0 and they're DOA in 2020.

[Not Me, Us]

If the dems nominate Wasserman-Schultz again, I hope the GOP wins the district.

[Chief Justice Keef]

While Canova is a loon and he won't crack 10% in general, seeing him and Debbie split the vote in the midst of a Democratic wave everywhere else around the country would be proper schadenfreude.

Who cares about the rule of law, the fate of Dreamers, or the future of the planet, as long as a Bernie bro gets his proper dose of schadenfreude?

It basically already is.

[KingSweden]

I detest DWS, but Canova is a raving loon who should gtfo

[MasterJedi]

Bernie Bros will happily give the seat to a Republican or literally vote for one to get DWS out of the seat over their false belief in some grand conspiracy and "fixing" of his loss. Talk about entitlement.
