Senator Rick Scott of Florida is considering a late entry into the Republican presidential primary race, a move that would make him the latest high-profile Florida Republican to try to wrest the nomination from Donald J. Trump, according to two people familiar with the discussions.
Should he enter the race, Mr. Scott, Florida’s former governor, would be challenging both the front-runner, Mr. Trump, as well as the distant-second rival, Ron DeSantis, the state’s current governor. Mr. Scott would also join Mr. Trump, Mr. DeSantis and Mayor Francis X. Suarez of Miami as the fourth Republican presidential candidate from Florida.

I doubt he’ll get very far.
What is it with these people?
They will need a monstrously big stage for initial debates.
There’s a beauty. 😅
Big egos, little brains.
Can we just get a list of those who AREN’T running?
On second thought, maybe all these morons jumping on the bandwagon for President actually think they have a shot at being picked for the VP slot. Again, big egos, little brains.
“Florida Man” syndrome.
Indeed.
Why not. The Clown Car still has plenty of room.
They will be at 16 or better like 2016 before we even realize it.
Why?
They rake in a few donations from morons, drop out early and they get to keep the cash. And when they throw in the towel, they often basically sell their endorsement in exchange for a future administration job.
The see green dollar signs flashing in their heads.
“The More the Merrier.”
The 45th President: “I Like What I See.”
He’s the ignorant ass who came out 6 weeks before the midterms and said we need to cut Social Security. No thanks.
Always more room in the Clown Car. Although of course since Christie joined, now they need a bus.
Rick Scott is a considerably more impressive individual than the Great White Hope of the Uniparty establishment RDS. Totally unnecessary candidate in this race, but he actually has private sector experience unlike career government lackey Meatball.
I’m waiting for George Pataki.
