Cornyn had been great up until this term. I’ll definitely vote to primary him.

Scott is a bit of a enigma to me and I have voted for him in every election. Gotta love politics. His first run, try and win in politics was as Gov of Florida. Then he ran and won as a US Senator. Think of that. He and Trump are similar in a lot of ways. Lots of ups and downs. Moves like Ali in politics. Was good as Gov of Florida. 10 things as Gov of Fla
Pluses:
Didn't come from the bluebloods and Ivy leagues. Very pro jobs pro business. Anti enviro nut jobs not anti environment I mean Florida cmon.
Negatives:
His role as CEO of a HRC that defrauded in billing.

Scott is accustomed to close races and has shown a willingness to spend his own fortune to win. A former hospital company executive, he was elected governor in 2010 as a Tea Party candidate, upsetting then-Attorney General Bill McCollum in the GOP primary before narrowly defeating Democrat Alex Sink. Scott was re-elected in 2014.
While leading the state, Scott focused on jobs and transformed Florida’s policy on the environment and climate. He gutted environmental efforts such as Florida Forever, the state’s land conservation program, and dismantled the Department of Community Affairs, eliminating state oversight of local planning decisions. Most notably he reportedly banned Department of Environmental Protection staffers from using the words “climate change” or “global warming” in official communications or reports, making him a punchline of late-night comedians.
“Scott really seemed not to do much to help the environment and instead seemed to go out of his way to do things to hurt the environment,” Jewett said. “He was just so focused on economic development, it was to the exclusion of everything else.”
When asked about his views on the climate, Scott was known to say he was “not a scientist,” prompting a group of climate scientists to reach out in 2014 for a meeting. Among them was Jeff Chanton, professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University. Scott granted the meeting, and Chanton made a presentation about the human role in the planet’s warming. The presentation did not appear to influence the governor, Chanton said.
“I cannot say that I observed any such effects,” Chanton told Inside Climate News. “I think he’s kind of in denial about the effects that climate change are going to have on the economy and the well-being of the United States and Florida. And I would say that is pretty short-sighted because Florida is one of the more vulnerable states in the country to climate change.”

This is great news, Scott is definitely a politician and I think he is buds with the enemy like most GOP senators are, but I think the biggest factor is that he won’t be hostile to Trump. McConnell was straight up a barrier to everything Trump tried to do. With Scott and Johnson, Trump can make strides, and that’s all we can ask.

would be nice for the Senate to be less of a shitshow to offset the House continuing its farce

Scott would take the filibuster off the table, if Trump wanted, imo

He got us the Supreme Court. That’s about it. I don’t know exactly how things run, but why can’t Trump just choose who he wants?

If anyone is going to be put in camps I want it to be people like this assclown.

I think Trump has clout, but he’s also reasonable. I think it’s smart to let the neocons think they will have a seat at the table, and that’s what Scott will bring. It would be a unifying step, imo.

Thune would be an extension of Turtle’s leadership

That is saying you haven’t paid too much attention to his actions. The PoS is a Turtle lacky!
