Rubio has no business being in the US Senate the 1st place.

In 2010, the Democratic vote was split between Crist and Meek. If Meek had not ran, Crist might have won and would have caucused with the Democrats like Angus King(I-ME).
In 2016, the Democrats nominated a former Republican(Patrick Murphy-D)who became a Democrat due to the extremism of the Republican Party. How would have the FL Democrats do if they have nominated Debbie Wasserman Schultz-D or Alan Grayson-D?
In 2022 FL Democrats will have their best candidate- Val Demings- A black progressive female Democrat from central FL that has law enforcement experience.

Rubio received 48.9 percent of the popular vote while Crist received 29.7 and Meek received 20.2 percent of the popular vote. Add Crist and Meek vote together. It will be 49.9 percent.
