General Discussion

It's not so simple, really. You might be able to influence an election in your own state, but you'll be ignored in other states, since they have their own political preferences.

Anyone can run in a primary. They just have to meet the qualification standards in a state and declare their candidacy. There are some forms to complete and maybe a fee of some kind. But anyone can run. Winning is a different matter, so every candidate has to convince voters in a particular state to vote for him or her in number large enough to become the nominee in the general election. Then, the candidate has to wine a majority of votes in that state.

That's exactly how it works. There are no other options. So, primary whomever you want, but you're going to have to find someone who can win, both in the primary and the general elections. Not so easy, depending on the state in question. You're in Florida, right?

Good luck with that, I say. Keep us informed.
