Florida’s junior Senator will start next week in the Peach State supporting his preferred presidential candidate.
Rick Scott is heading to Braselton’s Chateau Elan Winery & Resort on Tuesday, for a 6 p.m. town hall with Donald Trump. Other support for the GOP nominee at this stop includes Linda McMahon, Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, and Representative Jason Smith of Missouri.
Scott is running for Republican Leader in the Senate, and Trump has yet to endorse him, though conceivably that could happen Tuesday.
Scott had previously said Trump is “excited” that he’s running for the position again, but that he wasn’t sure if Trump would endorse him or not to lead the Senate GOP caucus.
Scott got 10 votes in his challenge to Mitch McConnell in 2022’s leadership fight. This time around, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota represent the competition.
The Senator spent a lot of time in Georgia in 2022, in the failed push to get Herschel Walker elected to the Senate. This year’s nailbiter election is at the top of the ticket, meanwhile. Per FiveThirtyEight, Harris leads Trump by less than half a percentage point.

BIG MONEY CHANGES THINGS PER RICK SCOTT:
TOTAL LOANS RECEIVED $8,563,834.00
Loans made by candidate $8,563,834.00
Other loans $0.00
From POLITICO Florida online today.
So, how do the “loans” get paid back?

Sorry Rick, as you know, we’ve got a problem. Florida used to be blue and purple, very tolerant because we survived on tourism, cattle, and citrus. Bad public policy turned the place over to developers looking not for tourists but to lure new residents.
And now, overpopulation, housing shortage, overcrowded roadways, skyrocketing insurance, a potential depression for condo owners and a governor whose war on liberalism (Florida was not, and has never been liberal) has made us a festering, angry mess as he imposes his personal grudges on the whole state.

Thankyou Earl. That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. We are at our best when we can admit our faults. I will let you know if I find any of my own. Give me a few days.
BTW, when that song came out, a good friend always felt that the Devil won. That happens sometimes.

As Dr. Oz likes to say, pass the “crudites.” Everybody in Pennsylvania had to look it up and so did I.

I dont think he’s overly racist, he’s just a thief. However, his ideas to fix some very serious problems with entitlements always place the burden on those who can least afford it.
