With Democrats like these …

Honestly, this sort of thing just makes a mockery of the Democratic Party.
SiriusXM host Michael Smerconish: “Would Jeb [Bush] make a good president?”
Former FL Governor Charlie Crist: “Yeah, I think he probably would. He made a great governor, in my humble opinion. He’s a good man…I don’t agree with him on everything…but when I saw him as Governor [of Florida] when I was Attorney General—and they’re elected separately in Florida—we had a lot of hurricanes, and Jeb Bush did a great job protecting our beautiful Florida during that [time].”
It’s not as if Crist is a super-popular guy in a deep red state that would only elect a Democrat who used to be a Republican. Florida is a swing state that has many good Democrats in state-wide office, all of whom would be unlikely to extoll the virtues of Jeb Bush who oversaw the theft of the presidential election of 2000 for his misbegotten nincompoop of a brother.
Being a Democrat means never having to say you’re sorry — as long as you act like a Republican. It’s pathetic.
