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 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?
