My view is simple if he runs I'll support him, but personally I wanted a newer face like Jen Perelman. He may have been able to win in 2016, but maybe the magic is gone... Are you on Mitch McConnell's payroll?

Are you on Mitch McConnell's payroll? At this point, his suggestions for senate in North Carolina and Florida have got me convinced that is a possibility.

Cuz the people that were the nominees did SO WELL! U all keep saying "WE GOTTA PICK THE SAFE COICES ITS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN" and yet Patrick Murphy, Claire McCaskill, Bill Nelson, Heidi Heitkamp, Bill Nelson, Joe Donnelly, Cal Cunningham, Amy McGrath, Sara Gideon, and Theresa Greenfield fucking lost Also Cecil Bothwell was not a "suggestion" it was a personal preference

He may have been able to win in 2016, but maybe the magic is gone... We are talking about the same Alan Grayson most people think is a nutjob? right?

Not most people think he's a nutjob, even so remember. It's Florida. His magic was his relevancy to the era mixed in with him trying to adapt to the shifting Left of the year.

"A moderate democrat lost in a red-leaning state" does not mean that the inverse is true (a Bernie bro would have won.) The GOP blowing the 2010 Senate Elections because of nut job candidates is a strong parallel. And look, if you believe that Heidi Heitkamp was a bad candidate for democrats in North Dakota, I recommend you visit North Dakota. If you want a true apples to apples comparison, compare the 2018 and 2020 West Virginia senate races.

It's nearly impossible to find a democratic socialist who has succeed in any election outside of a heavy democratic district.

As someone who lives in Florida, I promise you that Alan Grayson will not win. He will not. He lost the Senate primary in '16 by 41 points. He lost by 32 points in the congressional primary in '18.

It doesn't matter who runs here. Florida might as well be Wyoming for the Democratic Party.

If you want a true apples to apples comparison, compare the 2018 and 2020 West Virginia senate races. I'm saying for a strategy that everyone claims is great and never fails, seems to be a lot a failures. Last time I checked 55.1%>44.3% It's nearly impossible to find a democratic socialist who has succeed in any election outside of a heavy democratic district. Nobody ever said Democratic Socialist. A primary example is the California 2018 Swing Seats Harder, Cox, Porter, Hill, Rouda, Levin, and Cisneros ran and won on populist/progressive sounding rhetoric, but many of them took huge rightward shifts cuz that's "what they had to do to win re-election in s swing seat". The ones who didn't are still serving to this day

Murphy would have been the stronger candidate.

Ur in luck Southern Moderate, she is also apparently gonna announce too https://www.axios.com/rubio-stephanie-murphy-florida-senate-2022-9bed5472-972d-4bbc-bee8-d0c0e47a8747.html

Aramis Ayala may run for Demings open seat instead of this race.

Pretty shady of Alan https://www.thedailybeast.com/resistance-pol-alan-grayson-raised-dollardollardollar-to-probe-trump-and-kept-the-cash-for-his-pac
