I don’t like either one. Scott really screwed up and showed his true colors, but Nelson is a guaranteed 100% Democrat vote. The problem with Scott and his ilk is they’ll vote 90% with conservatives on trivial matters, but they’ll go Gang-of-8 on every vital bill and sell us out in a heartbeat. Just like he did with the BS gun law.
I’m to the place where I’d rather pull some poor bastards name out of the phone book than vote for any of these bastards—at least as long as it wasn’t Broward County. Its just damn near impossible for any outsider to get into the ring, and that’s what this country needs—competent people who aren’t lawyers.
In January when asked to comment about Trump's alleged "s**hole countries" remark Scott had this to say:
“If this report is true, it is absolutely wrong to say or think this. I do not think this way, nor do I agree with this kind of sentiment. I represent Florida, and we are an amazing melting pot where over 250 languages are spoken. I work every day to make this the most welcoming state for everyone — Haitians, Cubans, Venezuelans, and others from all around the world that call Florida home. I’m incredibly proud of our diversity.” – Florida Gov. Rick Scott
Also remember how he tried to railroad George Zimmerman by appointing a leftist special prosecutor to bring charges after Sanford P.D. found the shooting justified and wouldn't charge him.
Most recently he has come out in favor of making Puerto Rico a state (pander much Gov. Scott?).Over 100,000 Puerto Ricans have moved to Florida following Hurricane Irma. Experts believe as many as 200,000 more will move to Florida over the coming year. Progressive voter registration groups are already working to register Puerto Rican voters.
The signs are there: Scott can't be trusted. He may vote with us most of the time but he'll screw us on immigration, amnesty, and second amendment issues. Best bet is to support real conservatives in other Senate races across the country and keep Nelson in the minority if he wins.
