U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and five of their likely rivals for the Republican presidential nomination including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will be speaking at an economic summit hosted at Walt Disney World in June by Gov. Rick Scott and his campaign fund Let's Get To Work.
Brecht Heuchan of Let's Get To Work said Rubio, Bush, Walker, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry all have accepted invitations to speak at the June 2 summit at Disney's Yacht and Beach Clubs Convention Center.
The format and other details still are being worked out.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky declined an invitation and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has not yet responded. Heuchan said it is unclear whether any other GOP presidential candidates could be invited or added later, but noted there would be a time crunch to add any more to the agenda.
Still, this is likely to be the first multi-candidate presidential primary event in Florida for the 2016 race. Florida's primaries will be in March 2016.

Let's see. That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Huh. How many dwarves were there again?
Gee, I wonder if the Men Seeking Men media will do the math?
In fact, I wonder if the Men Seeking Men media will report on anything OTHER than that the number coincides with the number of dwarves.
Florida is an important state to win in 2016.
Let's just hope the gathering takes place the same week as Gay Pride Week.
A two-fer!
None of our people should be speaking on the same platform with Bush... it’s a mistake.
That’s silly.
Disney is a HUGE employer.
Disney is a HUGE generator of wealth for Florida.
Remove Bush and Christie & you’ve got something.
Why remove anyone?
I want them to show what they’ve got.
What did I say about Disney?
That’s where this platform will be.
“first multi-candidate presidential primary event”
Are they all declaring at the same time?
My point was that our guys should not appear on a stage with Bush... where ever the stage is...
You’d give Jeb the stage without pushback?
Beyond not having their policies see the light of day, it open’s the candidates up to cries and headlines that they can’t be bothered, or that they can’t compete in the arena of ideas?
Backers and supporters will look elsewhere.
Gay Days is always the first weekend of June. There are some festivities around Orlando usually starting on Tuesday. The first activity at Disney World is usually on Thursday at Animal Kingdom. Friday is Disney's Hollywood Studios, Saturday is the Magic Kingdom and Sunday is Epcot. In 2015, it starts on June 4 and runs through June 7.
Clean up in post #14:
“Beyond not having their policies see the light of day, it opens the candidates up to cries and headlines that they can’t be bothered, or that they can’t compete in the arena of ideas.
Now that’s a good point Cincinatus’ wife... I’ll back off on this one...
: )
That’s very classy.
