President Donald
Trump/Vice President Rick Scott
If that doesn't
scare the evil spirits (BEJESUS) out of the most harden political adversary,
nothing in the universe will ever do so, there is no hope for this country.
For the first 4
years of Rick Scott's control over Florida, Florida was up For-Sale to the
highest bidder, this last 4 years of his control of Florida, Florida is
For-Sale, "Make an Offer!"
And what is this
baloney about not one of the republican candidates running have handed in their
tax returns and are allowed to just keep procrastinating as to when if ever
that do turn the returns in?
Washington Post puts
Rick Scott on Trump VP short list
Whom would Donald
Trump pick to be his vice president?
Florida governor
Rick Scott is being touted as a viable option, according to the Washington
Post's short list of potential VP candidates.
The column, posted
Tuesday, cites Scott for his experience in the private sector as a health care
executive. In addition to the Florida governor, the list includes Carly Fiorina
and Sarah Palin, among others.
For the full report,
go to the Washington Post.
The Washington Post
has begun to speculate about Donald Trump’s possible choice for vice-president.
The Washington Post
has begun to speculate about Donald Trump’s possible choice for vice-president.
Word on the street
is that Marco Rubio and Donald Trump haven’t been nearly as mean to each other
as they have to Ted Cruz because of a supposed “backroom deal” that would make
Rubio Trump’s go-to vice-president choice.
However, Washington
Post writer Chris Cillizza isn’t convinced of the truth of this rumor or that
Rubio would be Trump’s first choice for running mate. Chris threw out the name
of Sarah Palin as a potential choice for vice-president. He admits it would “be
risky” on the part of Trump. A less polarizing option would probably be
businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who’s already dropped out of contention for the
White House.
One name brought up
by Cillizza stood out among his selections as what some consider being the most
probable aside From Marco Rubio: Rick Scott, the Republican governor of
Florida.
Writes Cillizza:
“Scott, like Trump,
has his roots in the private sector — making millions as a health-care
executive before he ran for office in 2010. And Scott got into the governor’s
mansion by beating the Florida Republican establishment at its own game — sort
of like Trump has done in this race.”
Such a possibility
is hugely significant. First, it would make Rick Scott the state-level version
of what Donald Trump aspires to be. Minus the celebrity. It would also give
Trump an inside track to working with an outsider businessman who has the
experience of beating the Republican establishment and winning an election.
Also significant?
Scott has had nice things to say about Trump in the past. On Donald’s message,
Rick commented, “I think [Trump] is capturing the frustration of many Americans
after seven years of President Obama’s very intentional government takeover of
the U.S. economy.”
If there’s anything
Trump likes as much as himself, it’s people who’ve said good things about him.
Such an endorsement could put Rick Scott in an ideal position for a
vice-president pick. Rick Scott’s kind words for the current GOP frontrunner
are highly significant as he’s avoided giving any such endorsement to former
Florida governor Jeb Bush or current Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
With Florida’s
primary coming on March 15th, there are those who are looking for him to make
an eventual endorsement. Scott instead shared that he wasn’t sure if one would
be coming.
As for the
vice-presidency, some are wondering if Rick has already communicated with
Donald about the position. According to USA Today affiliate Tallahassee
Democrat, if Rick has heard things, he’s not telling. The Florida governor
reportedly shrugged off questions asking about the possibility of being a
vice-president pick.
“I’m focused on this
job,” said Scott. “I’ve got three more years in this job. “I’ve been very clear
the things that are important to me, the things that we’ve done here.”
He would only say
about the presidency that Americans need a president with “a very specific plan
on how we’re going to get jobs going” and ” somebody who’s going to be
absolutely focused on destroying ISIS.” While these are very specific demands,
it’s worth noting that this comment does not single out any specific Republican
presidential candidate as most likely to meet these needs.
