Polls predict tough fight in Nelson, Scott Senate race

[TexasTowelie]

Florida voters need to get ready for a high-profile, contentious election that could produce a big win in the U.S. Senate for either the Democrats or the Republicans.

Two new public opinion polls point to a pitched battle for the U.S. Senate between Bill Nelson and Rick Scott. The results could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate after the 2018 midterm elections.

A Mason-Dixon poll scheduled for release Wednesday shows Democrat Nelson with the support of 45 percent of voters surveyed, and Republican Scott with 44 percent, and 11 percent undecided. That’s well within the margin of error, which makes the results effectively a tie.

1. Nelson needs to come out swinging

And use trump against scott. Nelson is too nice and plays by the rules. We need gloves off for this round!

2. I still cannot, for the life of me, figure out how

Skeletor got elected, then re-elected, as governor. It’s as perplexing as dipshit in Maine, creep in Michigan and the turd in Wisconsin all getting re-elected. Nelson should win this. It should not even be close, even with the dirty tricks that party employs.

5. Uhm, Russians? I don't think they've limited their election meddling to just Presidential races...

I believe the Russians have been meddling in our elections and flipping vote totals since the 2004 elections after the world saw how embarrassingly silly the 2000 Presidential Election discrepancies were handled...

6. Well then thats a prime reason to use

paper ballots.

3. I can't believe anyone would vote for Scott after all the horrible things he's done.

And the blatant corruption. The guy is an absolute snake with my apologies to snakes.

4. Nelson has always been such a gentleman

That needs to come to a screeching ass halt. He needs learn how to play hardball. Scott was the CEO of a company that committed massive Medicaid fraud. He resigned shortly before the company was charged. He is a worthless POS.
