No, D's should learn from 2020 mistakes that when you have candidates over 50% they won't go down, Cornyn, Rubio, Ernst, Graham all have 50% approvals, it would be a waste of money to take support away from candidates in WI, PA, NC and GA

Rubio could make Dade County within 5

I have every intention of being on that ballot in November of 2022, and I feel very good about the account we’ll be able to bring to the people of Florida.

There you go!

2016, please fix that link. It blows the page up. Thanks.

Does Rubio win by >10? He won by 7.67% in 2016. I'd say he does.

No surprise here.

It's probably a toss-up whether he wins it outright. Trump lost it by only 7 while losing nationally by 4 and winning Florida by 3. If Rubio wins Florida by 10 like people are predicting, he might pick up Miami-Dade. It's a question how high he can push his margins with Cubans. Trump already won them by like 40, idk if Rubio could win them by 60+. Maybe he already did in 2016.

No surprise here.

Yeah, why would she run when she can just wallow in all of their grift money like the rest of the family?

[One Term Floridian]

I’m still hoping he somehow has to go thru an embarrassing primary challenge. One of my favorite 2016 moments was seeing Lil Marco get whooped in his own home state in the presidential primary

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It looks like Crist is running for Gov, Deming's would do badly against Rubio and lose by 10 pts. You have to have a special relationship with Cubans and AA want the Cuban Embargo lifted

Crist would be very competitive in a Gov campaign against DeSantis. DeSantis barely beat Gillan

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Rubio isn't going to lose, but I doubt he wins by that much.

The FL democrats are already pretty incompetent at turning out their voters in presidential elections but in midterms under a democratic president they’re even worse (look at the 2014 races)

I seen an election that the Democrat lost by one percentage point. How does that square with:

the big question is more if democrats are able to keep their loss in the single digits

?

In 2014 Crist was able too keep things very close in the Gov race but other statewide democrats were trounced. (Crist was helped by the fact that he had a lot of crossover appeal in the Tampa area)

Scott only won because of the idiot spoiler libertarian candidate.

AA want the Cuban Embargo lifted

Do they?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

AA want the Cuban Embargo lifted

Do they?

Obama tried to lift Cuban Embargo in 2015 but Boehner stopped him

[Greedo punched first]

Does Rubio win his primary?

[SnowLabrador]

Does Rubio win his primary?

Why wouldn't he? He's pretty popular in Florida.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy 'seriously considering' bid to unseat Rubio

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/24/florida-murphy-rubio-senate-2022-471402

Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy is seriously considering a bid to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2022 reelection, announcing Wednesday that she’s launching a statewide listening tour and has hired a top Democratic operative to manage the effort.

Murphy, 42, has been elected three times to one of Florida’s most competitive congressional districts in Orlando, and first won the seat by knocking out 12-term incumbent GOP Rep. John Mica when few thought she could. It was a giant-killer act that Democrats hope she can repeat if she takes on Rubio, widely seen as a hard-to-beat incumbent.

“I know what it takes to defeat a powerful incumbent because I’ve done it. I know what it takes to develop the fundraising and grassroots operation — that machine to win in a swing district — because I’ve done it three times,” Murphy told POLITICO in announcing her new initiative, called “Cast Forward with Stephanie Murphy.”

The announcement was paired with an introductory biographical ad on YouTube where Murphy describes herself as “a patriot, not a politician.”

Murphy, acknowledging she’s “seriously considering” a senate bid in either 2022 or 2024 when GOP Sen. Rick Scott is up for reelection, said her initiative is designed to “regroup, refocus, and reenergize Florida Democrats” who have watched Republicans out-organize, out-message and out-vote them, turning the once-purple swing state into a reddish battleground.

There are 9 magic letters that will sink her bid before it gets off the ground.
