Crist has been in elected office almost every year since 1993 (he took a break from politics for a few years to chase ambulances). He's run as a Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat.
Issues mean shit to him. He's flipped core positions with ease. Personal life means shit to him; he's twice married and twice divorced.
All that matters to him--imo--is keeping his spray-on tan and having political power.
So, here's a question:
Is it better to have weasels like Crist in office or is better to have people with more consistent views, one way or the other?
Oh and fyi, I think his chances of being governor again are about the same as Trump's chances of being President again.
And it’s made Crist, a Democrat who has also been elected as a Republican, difficult to beat in the 13th District, a competitive part of a perennial swing state whose core county has voted for Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the past three presidential elections.
So Republicans were excited this month when Crist, a former governor who has often flirted with another statewide run, announced that he would challenge Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis next year rather than seek a fourth House term.
Crist’s departure puts his district, which encompasses liberal St. Petersburg and the more conservative Clearwater, within reach for the GOP in the midterms, when Democrats, as the party in control of the White House, will already be at a historical disadvantage.
