No its Sasse....NEDoesnt matter, alrdy have another Sen heading to DC. Guy who special election in FL will be going back and hopefully joined by Mia Love.
Doesn't matter. Mia is a House candidate who will be replacing a Dem who consistently voted against ACA. Your GOP 'senator' from FL is a guy who beat a dem in a especial election for the 13th House district.
Sasse may talk TP but he is in fact a Washington insider who disdains folks like Cruz and Lee. He will work with the establishment to end the inner GOP civil war.

But Sasse actually represents less the Tea Party's anti-incumbent rage than the sort of fusion candidate who can unite the party establishment and basea well-credentialed insider who can convince the right wing he's on their side. As Dave Weigel put it in Slate, "Sasse is a veteran of the establishment who masterfully ingratiated himself with the conservative movement." Particularly in red states, he could represent the harmonizing future of the GOP in a post-GOP-civil-war world. Last week, Thom Tillis won the North Carolina Republican primary more by straddling the establishment and Tea Party than by taking sides; Sasse did so even more effectively.
