I hated that he lost his seat to Scott because Rick Scott is a lying devil, but I was not entirely enthusiastic about Nelson because he and his wife support very conservative causes.

On the other hand I think this is a great position for him except that he is almost 90 years old. I am a senior citizen myself, but I feel that someone in their very late 80’s is only given this title as a reward for years of service. And maybe that’s ok too.
