Trump schedules last-minute Super Tuesday press conference
Washington Examiner ^ | 2-29-16 | By Gabby Morrongiello

Donald Trump has added a press conference at his Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., on Super Tuesday, fueling speculations of another high-profile endorsement.

The billionaire will host separate campaign rallies in Ohio and Kentucky during the day Tuesday, before arriving in Florida. Some speculate that Florida Gov. Rick Scott could announce his support of Trump at the press conference, which is scheduled two weeks before Florida's Republican primary.

Scott has not yet endorsed a candidate, but the two-term governor praised Trump's ability to attract frustrated Republican voters in an op-ed published in January by USA Today.

It could be an endorsement or a last minute opportunity to control the news cycle today as people go to vote. He’s utterly controlled the narrative almost daily since July.

Strong Horse Theory. They are going to start flocking to him after today.

I think better timing for a Scott endorsement would be the day after the next debate and just before FL primary.

I’d like to see Newt and Guliani (sp) endorse him.

Florida early voting starts Saturday, March 5th. Y’all might disagree with my choice but there is one thing we can agree upon: it will NOT be Marco.

Scott has been a great 2 term governor here in Florida, but is currently very unpopular. Not sure if his handshake is pro or con for The Donald.

The Cruz campaign will send out a tweet that Trump is dropping out.

If it’s a Florida endorsement why not wait until a little closer to the Florida primary? Maybe I guess....but what else might it be? Could be a special guest who has some smackdown information about Rubio...

Nah. This might be the kill shot.

A huge Super Tuesday, with an immediate Scott endorsement right on the heels, could effectively finish Little Marco off in Florida.

And, without Florida, what's the point of his continuation? At least his money would dry up.

I think Trump wants him out of the race on Wednesday.

I’ve heard some talk of Allen West.

Should be interesting.

The school union has been spending millions against Scott for years and the media has been against him too.

I like Scott and think he has done well, but sadly the ignorant masses only read a headline or get their news form the morning gossip at work off their co worker.
