The 101st great idea: Don't lose eight House seats

With all the stalling Democrats have inflicted on House Speaker Marco Rubio's chamber, it's probably a given that he'd love to have not lost eight seats to the minority party while he flew about the state and held idea raisers in support of his 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future.

True, the eight-seat swing was more the result of political dynamics and candidates' skill levels, but the result is clear: 43 seats for Democrats -- three more than they need to ensure every bill is read in full on the House floor.

Hahahahahahaha Rubio is a idiot!

Rubio can thank his little friend Bill Helmich for that gift.

And Rivera. This is too ridiculous. They stood to lose 12 seats in November already. Today's stunts just sealed that.

Bill Helmich is Mensa material when compared to Chip Case. 8 was just the beginning, Chip will take their losses to the double digits.

4:07 Please. Helmich is a complete bafoon. Case is a good guy and knows what he is doing. He has Frank Terraferma by his side and things will be fine.

Helmich was the moron allocating all that money for 100 ideas or the Marco Rubio PR plan.

Chip was the guy travelling the state with Allan Bense and was integral in him becoming Speaker. Helmich was the guy farting away what it took Frank Terraferma a decade to build.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Most of the money went into Helmich's pocket via kickbackaroo's

David Rivera smells like bigfoot's penis

Wait until they get to the last day and the Democrats lock down and refuse to let bills be read a third time. That's going to be FUN!

Helmich took kickbacks, say it isn't so! I thought he was so honest and virtuous.

Travelling the state with Bense. That alone will make you Rove-esque.
