Marc Caputo / Politico:
Scott edges Nelson by 3 in Senate race poll
— Outspent by nearly 3-1, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is trailing Gov.
Rick Scott by a marginal 3 percentage points in a new poll of what could
be the most expensive U.S. Senate race in history. — Scott leads
Nelson 47-44 percent
Editor: You should know that Bill Nelson is a mainstay in Democrat politics. If he is defeated . . . .
in his re-election bid as Senator from Florida, one could make an argument for a referendum vote in the coming 2018 against the Dems. Who knows what the final outcome will be . . . 98 days from now. But, for the time being, the new is good for Senate Republicans.
If the GOP keeps the Senate, there will be no impeachment because it is in the Senate that an impeachment trial takes place. More than this, It is the job of the Senate to the exclusion of the House, to confirm Federal Judges including the Supreme Court. And it is the Federal Court System that will give Trump his most profound legacy.
