Renew Deal
(81,855 posts)1. The problem is he's lazy
He didn't want his Senate job so he stopped showing up. He reminds me of Edwards.
Algernon Moncrieff
(5,790 posts)2. He'll run for Governor to replace Rick Scott in 2018.
..and then set himself up to run again for the WH in 2020 or 2024.

Amazing to see. Though I'm still stunned by Jeb's hilarious defeat.
