Why does U.S. Sen. Rick Scott keep winning elections?
According to new comments from Scott, it’s because voters who don’t vote often trust him to bring change to government.
“I won my elections because those low-propensity voters came out and said, ‘We wanted Florida to change. So we’ve got to make sure it happens,'” Scott said Monday, predicting the state would “probably have 3 million-plus voters tomorrow.”
Scott said he was “optimistic only because I’m talking to people every day.”
“I mean, we have unbelievable rallies. I was all around the state yesterday and it’s exciting. People want Donald Trump to win, they want me to win, they want people up and down the Republican ballot in Florida to win,” the Senator said on “Mornings with Maria.”
Republicans have a more than 800,000 raw vote advantage over Democrats as of Monday morning, suggesting that at least among those who have cast ballots, the GOP has the advantage.
Polls tell a similar story.
Scott has never trailed Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in a single public poll, and RealClearPolitics shows him up by 4.6 points on average.
Trump is up by 8 points over Kamala Harris in the polling average, meanwhile, suggesting that while many states are in play Tuesday, the Sunshine State is not one of them, unless the surveys all missed.

Low-propensity voters = low information voters who can be scared into the polls if fed enough lies.

The only humans who could possibly trust this walking skeleton are of the low-intelligence variety.

Low propensity voters have zero idea who their senators are, Rick. So if they like their senator, it’s because they have no idea it’s YOU!

“Why does U.S. Sen. Rick Scott keep winning elections?”
Uh, dollars from his personal fortune he donates to his campaign in part?
And he won 2018 mostly because of a stupid ballot design in Broward County. I did the recount. Ballot after ballot after ballot the race was left empty. Because it was in the column after the instructions, the only race that was printed in the column after the instructions. Very easy to miss.
Good news – that ballot design problem appears to have been fixed. In Broward County.

Good to hear Trick is using some of his own ill-gotten fortune. His donors must be doozies.
