Republican Representative from Florida’s 15th District, Dennis Ross, will not seek a fifth term in Congress citing a desire to not be crushed in November ...er….spending more time with his family…
His decision, of course, has nothing to do wit the coming Blue Wave or the Idiot in the White House:
“More than 40 House Republicans are retiring or seeking another office. Ross is the third Florida member, joining Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Miami and Tom Rooney of Okeechobee, both whom have expressed dissatisfaction with Washington.
He dismissed the idea retirement had anything to do with a possible Democratic wave —"Not at all."— though the open seat will now become a target, while setting off a scramble among Republican hopefuls, who remain the favorite.
Donald Trump won the district by 10 percentage points.
Ross like other Republicans have had to contend with the steady stream of White House controversies but also said that was not a factor in his decision.
"I wouldn't say I ignore it. I'm very cognizant of it," he recently told the Times of the turmoil. "But I also understand I have to take care of my constituency, and I'm not going to be bogged down trying to defend or explain things going on in the White House because I have no control over that. Do I accept the methods and manners? It's very difficult to. The results have been good in where we've been able to take the economy."
But, not to worry Florida wingnuts you have another fine candidate, Loretta Miller, ready to pick up your fallen Gadsden Flag and lead you to ignominious defeat.
And she is currently the only other Republican in the race.
She wants to save the children from the evil perpetrators of “Pizza Gate”
From her Website
“Loretta Miller believes in the Family and Family Values, She feels the family is the core of this government and country. Pizza Gate Falafel Gate no matter what you call it Child abuse , sexual abuse, and mental abuse as well as child slavery, human trafficking will not be tolerated. We need to protect Our Children in Florida as well as all 50 states , the protectives.and (sic) the world.”
Uh, Loretta, while it’s good to know that you want to protect all the kids in Florida and the protectives, Pizza Gate never “really” happened and, bad as Bill O’Reilly’s actions were, he never proposed to falafel children.
Hoo-boy, where do they find these people?
