To me, that implies Florida Democrats just wanted to make a statement, not win an election. Of course, I’m a swing voter who thinks it’s stupid not to nominate someone who has a decent chance of winning in the general. I’m used to the Republicans doing this, making a statement, not so much with the Democrats. That may be changing a progressive become a larger segment of the Democratic party ousting more of the moderates. I don’t think the blue dog democrats still exist. If so, there may be a handful.

Perhaps we need a new way of choosing candidates. Maybe Alaska has something going for them that the rest of the states should look at. I always been a fan of the jungle primary, we use that in Georgia for special elections, then a runoff between the top two finishers if no one receives 50% plus one vote.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
