Reply #62: Thrasher, as head of the RPOF, controls the campaign purse strings of his fellow legislators..... [View All]

He can extort votes to his liking from them. I'll bet Jeb thought he had this teacher merit pay vote in the bag, with Thrasher the Basher knocking heads in the Legislature.

He was wrong.


As soon as I saw how hard Jeb Bush pushed Thrasher's candidacy last year for that Senate seat that the late Jim King held, I knew something was in the works. Then, when Thrasher, steered by Jeb Bush, steamrolled his way in as Chairman of RPOF 2 months ago, it confirmed my impressions.


I hope like hell you are right, 1monster, that Thrasher will be defeated in November.


I think we can bet the farm that Thrasher is using his position as Chair of the RPOF and its purse strings to threaten his colleagues to vote Jeb's way or else.


With Thrasher, it's Jeb's way or the highway. Make no mistake about it---Jeb Bush is still running this show.
