I do see your point and recognize it, however, isn’t that what happened when Perot entered the stage to elect slick willy with only 43% of the voters, because some were unhappy with GHWB, or when James Dobson intervened against McPain and brought us the biggest political scandal of an election “coup” in the nations history we now are fighting for???
This is really different situation for me and many other Florida Republicans.. Scott is so repugnant to decent and honest Republicans, he cannot do anything but harm this Party. It has already been almost destroyed by former RPOF chair Jim Greer and Charlie Crist. Having someone so tainted from past and present scandals,particularly in the Medical Field running for the Chief Executive Position of Florida is a tragedy. Ross Perot was all about ego and cutting spending , but also getting the Huge contract for his Computer Cards to implement Hillary Care. Scott has been Spending in excess of 60 Million to try and buy the Governors office. The bottom line is any Republican that is running for Office that does not stay far away from him will be painted with the same brush. Can you imagine Republicans trying to bite their tongue and say they support him for the sake of the party and then he is indicted? How do those Republican get their reputations back? How do we as a Party ever feel clean again? The answer is not in my lifetime. I spent a long time in Police Work, and that alone would prevent me from voting for someone that should be in Jail.
