Sorry, I meant my comment as tongue in cheek. Pointing at the ridiculousness of the FL dem party being stuck with former republicans as a decent chunk of our high profile campaigns.

Realistically I don't have enough hope in Florida for it to matter, but I'd hate to see Jolly be our candidate for anything.

I can see Jolly performing much better than perennial Crist but I'd prefer an authentic Democrat over him. In a Trump midterm with the Desantii Hope Florida fraud, anything could happen, I can definitely see the race being within 5 points though I am sceptical of actually winning. Trump's current unpopularity among Latinos would need to translate to the ballot. Byron Donalds also seems to be very lame in speaking skills. For what it's worth, Jolly has hired Beshear's campaign head Eric Myers.

More like he is not as unpopular as Crist and fairly well known. Maybe he can position himself as a common sense moderate.

In light of the challenges Democrats have in FL, I have no problem with Jolly positioning himself as a common sense moderate. It provides a good alternative to batshit crazy nonsense since Ron DeSantis has been Governor.

CristтАЩs a good man who had an honorable and respectable time as Governor. However, since 2010 he couldnтАЩt adapt well in the polarized environment. Being a House Democrat has been the only success heтАЩs gotten but he used it more as a springboard to being Governor again than actually looking to bring him any stature in the House.

Ok. I was mainly throwing out the question on JollyтАЩs viability as a candidate who could fire up the base.
