True, it’s a big nothing burger for the lame media and Trump detractors.
As Trump gave to the FL party and not Bush. Maybe in Bush’s mind he is the “Republican Party of Florida” but his name wasn’t on Trump’s check.
Trump actively pursing gambling in Florida doesn’t seemed to be happening. Trump did express his opinion and in 2013 that Miami should get gambling. An article linked (#64) earlier here ‘presumes,’ their words, that he does want it since he bought and is renovating a Miami hotel.
The same 2013 article concludes:
Casino News - “For now, Trump is set on moving forward with his $250 million renovation of Doral, which he expects to return to its former opulence once the renovation is complete. But make no mistake, Mr. Combover has his eyes set on a casino in the event that lawmakers allow it. “If [casino] gambling ever comes to Florida, Doral is the single, best location,” he said, as quoted by the Miami Herald. “
Trump set himself up for gambling as we see, and he expressed what would happen if the circumstances allowed, but he’s not giving it any level of effort pushing for it. I’m sure at this time Trump has his mind on the presidency.
Yes, though Bush is referring back to when he first ran for guv of FL, as I understand it.
Trump has already said he played the game.
