All of us from Florida have been telling y’all we don’t like him and that many would vote for him while holding their noses. The best that can be said for Scott is that he’s running against Bill Nelson. That’s enough.....but it sure doesn’t mean we like Scott.
I can see and understand this, I’ve done plenty of nose-holding and ti’s something we realistically have to do sometimes. My fear is that Scott is so toxic because of the amnesty issue that he’ll drag down the entire Florida ticket with him. That discharge petition to push the Paul Ryan amnesty bill came out of Florida, from Rep. Curbelo, and it’s no surprise it didn’t go down well with conservative voters there. That’s why it’s so politically stupid for Scott to be lining up with the pro-amnesty side. It’s infuriating because I feel like Scott could be a very good candidate, and there are things to like about him, I just can’t understand why he does something so dumb as to take the side of the RINO amnesty pushers like Graham and McCain. Obviously if he does wind up confirmed as the nominee we’ll have no choice but to hold our noses, but the fear is that less involved or informed conservatives will stay home because the amnesty support ticks them off more than any other single issue. Hopefully there’s a conservative out there who can beat him in the upcoming primary, because the amnesty support is poison. Again so frustrating, even with his flip flops he’d be a good candidate if he stayed away from the Graham-McCain amnesty kool-aid, I can’t understand why Scott would give into the amnesty side unless he’s completely dependent on campaign money from the cheap labor lobby, which would be odd because if nothin else, he seems to be savvy enough to not rely on any particular set of donors for his funds.
