Didn’t Ted Cruz murder like a dozen people in California in the 70s?

Good info. There's was another fella saying Scott was a bad manager of campaign funds. Curious if his politics are right, but leadership skills are not.

Wonder if Rick Scott has changed any? He used to be entrepreneurial but also a terrible manager. I worked at Columbia/HCA and he was less than impressive there. He may not be the best to be the leader. Better in a different role.



Scott is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but what will matter is whether he is honest and will take a stand when the chips are all on the table. Trump's Cabinet will be relating to him what they need re the Senate. And it is going to get real dicey when the hammer begins to fall. I think Scott will hang in there. Those other two are Deep State and will fold.

All 3 of the names are gun grabbers.

It almost seems this was planned out to leak by the establishment. Get everyone in a tizzy and to write. Then they grab your names and sell to spammers to text you endlessly to get more money to fill their coffers.

I could be wrong but we still have too many Never Trumpers in office repping our side. They have us over a barrel. Vote for a radical leftist or the RINO. Its going to take over a decade to slowly flush them out with viable replacements because they have the money machine.

I think Ron Johnson would be good. Trump (or Vance) needs to weigh in.

They'll have to email me & I'll just block them because I put the old 555-5555 number in. My email though....well, they have that.

frick Thune... He's been jockeying for this position for years and he is McConnell's little crony/protege. He is GOPe/RINO to the core and exactly the type of GOP politician the America First movement is done with. He's a snake in the grass and I guarantee you has already promised his Uniparty/establishment/Deep State handlers he will be the backstop against Trump to neuter his agenda just enough to minimize damage to them.

The GOPe needs to go.

Kennedy was on Fox saying that list is not real. Take it for what is worth. But he did say... Sen. Kennedy, "Hey republicans are not perfect, but the other side is crazy!"

For having a different viewpoint while still being on the conservative/pro-Trump side overall?

I dont know much about scott.. he could be another mike johnson. I only know i dont like thune and cornyn… could we be being bamboozled into pushing for scott. Sucks theres not a super strong MAGA contender for this

Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA. They were one of the sleaziest corporate medical entities in the US. They were the medical version of a war profiteer.

Does that disqualify him? No, but it illustrates that there are no perfect candidates. They are going to have to way the benefits and negatives of each candidate. I think it's safe to say though, that Tump's team will have a heavy play in the choice so if it's not Scott, maybe he's not the one Trump wanted anyway.
