He is leading the GOP field, what does that tell you about the GOP voter.
The Florida Democratic Party Sucks
In Florida, the Republicans control Both Houses, the Governorship, and the majority of state appointments. Statistically, this does not make sense, because there are more Democrats registered on the voting polls, which gives the party the advantage in every election. But somehow the Republicans continue to win, and it would appear that the wrong Democratic leadership is in positions of power. here
Under the leadership of the Florida Democratic Chairperson Allison Tant, the Democrats have lost the Governorship twice. For almost two decades the Florida Democrats have delivered constant electoral defeats, and the same group is now making recommendations based on what they keep doing wrong. Fire Tant and hire Susan Smith!

Florida Banana Republicans
37% or 10 of 27 Congressional House seats are held by Dems. 47% of FL 2014 votes were for Dems
The Florida Supreme Court just ruled against the gerrymandering that makes this corruption possible. Those legislators who voted for maps that are deemed unconstitutional should be treated and punished as traitors. The legislators elected by gerrymandering constitute a Banana Republic; they and the laws they pass are illegitimate.
The Sierra Club, Tea Party Love Fest
"I find it very concerning and upsetting that the Sierra Club would require a tax for more money for roads before getting more money for transit," Thurman said he was also surprised to see the Sierra Club moving away from partnerships with transit groups and aligning itself with the tea party.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Wheelbarrows of cash utility companies dump in Tallahassee
Pam Bondi and
Florida's Chamber of Commerce
Have both joined with mega utility companies to fight a constitutional amendment on solar power that embraces a competitive marketplace.
The simple truth is Florida's leaders are a bunch of lemmings running in unison in whichever direction the power companies tell them. Utility companies have donated $12 million to the campaigns of state lawmakers since 2010. Seven members of the chamber's board of directors are employed by the electric industry. Power companies are forever trying to gouge consumers — to the tune of billions — for nuclear plant construction and fracking operations.
The bottom line is this wouldn't be a problem if the Public (Corporate) Service Commission did its job and actually regulated electric monopolies. Or if state legislators showed more interest in reining in their sugar daddies. here

Miami Cuban Mafia Trying To Stop Obama's Cuba Normalization
President Obama’s announcement last week that the U.S. will restore diplomatic relations with communist Cuba on July 20 – and will open an embassy there a few days after – is angering the MCM. Their options to stop the Administration are limited. But they’re moving against Obama’s new engagement policy nonetheless, and it’s shaping up as one of the summer’s big political battles. here
