The saddest part is I assume all the folks talkin with him on Fox just sagely nodded their head in agreement rather than pointing out that Biden is the epitome of a self-made man, unlike of course the last three Republican presidents who were at the opposite extreme of born privilege, and further noted that a background in Medicaid fraud doesn't exactly put one in touch with the typical Americans concerns either.

I have never voted for Rick Scott, as I view him as an awful abberation.  He's the kind of Republican I have never liked (the ultimate Club for Growther). 

As the Democratic Party as a whole has gone totally off the rails, this gives me a dilemma.  I cannot vote for Rick Scott and I won't, but what would I do if a Republican Senate were dependent on his election.  Not quite Sophie's Choice 2024, but it would be a dilemma if it came to that.  I could abstain, but I don't know that I could affirmatively vote for a Democrat in that instance, given how "out there" I consider the Democratic Party to have become.

Scott has always been the LEAST popular ELECTED Republican, but he's always managed to pull off narrow victories.  In 2010 it was a GOP year, and Alex Sink was caught cheating in the debate.  In 2014, he ran against Charlie Crist, whose party switching comes off as really quite an incredible Epiphany to many Florida voters (even though he WAS a really good Governor when he was in office).  Bill Nelson was obviously aging in 2018; he was not sharp and not on point, and the Democrats likely made a strategic error in not asking him to retire and putting forth a different candidate.  (Nelson looked really bad on TV in 2018.)  His luck may be running out in 2024 if the Democrats actually nominate Gwen Graham and not some candidate with no hope of appealing to the small number of undecided voters that make the difference in Florida.

I'm going to disagree with you Fuzzy. The only way Rick Scott loses in 2024 is if he runs for President. Florida is simply too Republican now for any other result in a Senate race.

Crist is leading DeSantis 51)49, so and I have a wave insurance map, just like Ryan and Beasley and Franken are 3 pts behind the margin of error is 5/6 pts QU has Biden at 35 percent and You Gov have Biden at 44/49 Approvals can Lie just like in 2018/20 Trump was at 42 percent and netted Sen seats in 2018 and netted H seats no one says Biden is at 60 but I think he is much closer to 50 than 40 the state by polls showing D's leading in every swing state and in 2014 Landrieu, Pryor and Begich we're down 9 points, Mark Kelly, CCM, Warnock and Hassan are tied or leading not down by 9 in a red Environment in 2014

If Crist or Demings win Gwen Graham whom is a cabinet in Biden will run against Scott, TX with Beto is unwinnable that's why Pelosi endorsed Crist not Beto and even Karl Rove said Crist and Ryan can win he didn't say anything about DEMINGS

This DeSantis is unbeatable is media talk about DeSantis for Prez but if he was so great why did he underpoll a socialist Gillum and won by 0.5 not spectacular and underpolled Trump in all the primary states

I'm going to disagree with you Fuzzy. The only way Rick Scott loses in 2024 is if he runs for President. Florida is simply too Republican now for any other result in a Senate race.

Florida is constantly changing.  I believe Scott will be reelected, but he's a lean R at best.  The problem isn't so much the demographics as it is the utter incompetence of the FL Democratic Party in terms of candidate recruitment and being attuned to the voters they need and can get but whom aren't in the bag.

I'll say this about Rick Scott:  He's mentally tough.  He's been attacked on issues that would destroy other pols in the primary.  He deflects them all.  He took the 5th amendment in a deposition over 70 times.  He dismisses it as a "Fishing Expedition".  And people accept that, never thinking about the consequences of the Fifth Amendment.  This isn't Donald Trump not publicizing his Tax Returns; this is Rick Scott saying "I could be indicted if I am truthful." 

People don't get that.  It's a sign of how ignorant people are in basic civics.  Either that, or it's a sign of disgust with our legal system and the belief that "white collar crime" is, at worst a criminalized civil matter.  They see Scott as a former Navy Vet who is a mentally tough leader.  Being Governor during several Hurricanes put those qualities on display for Floridians and Scott was able to significantly change his public image during the major hurricanes that affected Florida during his tenure.  He HAS used his tenure in office to improve his image.  He runs behind other Republicans, but he runs at over 50%.

I'm intrigued. Would you support a primary challenge to Scott? If so, is there:
a) A GOP candidate you'd ideally want to run (irrespective of his/her ability to win)?
b) A GOP candidate you think can beat Scott?

One of the last eight polls have Crist leading lol in what world are you leaving? Most polls have DeSantis winning by high single digits

The last poll that had DeSantis lead was in February  and that was a University poll  St Leo University, Crist can win so can DeSantis Rs don't have monopoly on red states but it's hypocritical that Rs think like you that Rs cab win blue states the compiled map has us losing in NV and MI and every poll has SISOLAK and Whitmer lead

5 polls have SISOLAK lead and Whitmer is leading by 23 but some think Whitmer is still gonna lose, no

Midterms FL has been closer than Prez elections FL has been decided by 1% in Midterms the Gov and Sen in Pre it's been decided by 3% in and we won OH Sen in 2018

My wave insurance map shows that Rs don't have a monopoly on red states, I make predictions in case D's win not based purely in polls I'd Crist win or Ryan then I will be mad that I didn't have them win, but others based it on purely on partisan trends and what if they are wrong in EDay , Approval ratings can LIE ITS NOT THE END ALL BE ALL

Biden is much closer to 50 than 40 because the R party is insurrection

Joe Biden's family lost everything when he was growing up and had to move in with his grandmother.

Rick Scott is a multimillionaire who got rich not by inventing anything useful or providing a valuable good or service to people but by scamming the government out of taxpayer money.

You would think with all that money he could buy himself a decent head of hair.

http://thelistenergroup.com/charlie-crist-leading-ron-desantis-in-very-close-race/


Here is the poll that all the users are discounting showing Crist leading DeSantis, yet users believe the QU polls 35/59% Biden Approvals but they don't believe this poll, I posted it in the Gov polls


Gwen Graham sat out this election against DeSantis but if Crist or Demings win she will come from being a Biden staffer and run against Scotty

It's not a past poll it's a June 6th poll, most of the pundits believe DeSantis is fav to run for Prez that's why DeSantis is given a pass over Crist and he may lose, if Crist wins, I have Demings win, Steve Konraki still has WI, NC and FL on the big board as Tossups, BEASLEY is 1.5 pts behind and Ryan is up 44/41

I don't know about FL, IA, MO, or WI but PA,, OH, NC are our best bets after AZ, GA, NH and NV in S for 53/47 SENATE and LA if Kennedy doesn't get 50 because Nixon and Chambers is gonna have to a Dec Runoff , WARNOCK is gonna have a Jan Runoff
