Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) decided, as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to stay entirely out of all primary fights in the 2022 election.
That committee usually endorses the candidate they believe has the best chance of winning a seat for the party in the general election.
but Scott isnt doing that this time.

Why? Because of his own political ambitions.
If Trump doesn't run for president in 2024, Scott will take a very hard look at getting in that race.
And he knows that if he spent two years using the power of the Senate GOP campaign committee endorsing against the likes of pro-Trump candidates Greitens and Brooks and Tshibaka, he has very little chance of winning over Trump's base -- a bloc of votes that any candidate will need if they want to be the party's presidential nominee.


Pro-Trump candidates are expected to be less likely to win the general election in 2022 compared to less extremist Repub candidates.

ahh Repubs with power, where there's a ME in 'team player' over their party.

Today a Republican, to be viable as a candidate in today’s party, needs to be a piece of shit.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Rick scott has zero chance in shit at the nomination. He's Bush to the equivalency of "Please clap for me".

 

[ch33zw1z]

The party of trump zealots aint down with some rino like scott. Guy looks like he's never successfully struggle snuggled, no dice.

hahaha hohoho
Now THAT is the $25,000 question, If Trump doesn't run.
Because, there seems to be a lot of.... hmmmm... "interest" in 2024 by a lot of.... hmmmm... republican presidential wannabes. The unknown factor is, and will be.... EGO. We all know Ted Cruz wants the job so bad he can't think straight. And the same for Rick Scott. And expect the "usual suspects" to toss their hat into the ring i.e. Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Rick Perry, Rand Paul, and add to that list Nikki Haley.

So here they are, ego's the size of a capitol insurrection, and then Donald Trump strolls up and says FORGET IT FELLAS, THIS BEAST IS MINE ??? Would Ted Cruz really roll over and play dead like a trained dog? Would Rick Scott really just shut up and go home? And how about Nikki Haley, is she going to sit back and be pushed aside? As much as republicans love DJT, he has had his day in the sun and I doubt any of them presidential hopefuls will allow DJT to simply stroll in and take over especially at the last minute. The ego's would have kicked in and the campaigns would have already well begun. I doubt the hopefuls will just sit back, waiting, waiting, and waiting to see what DJT decides to do....

If they go up against Trump and lose, they're finished in the party.

Scott should be in jail, not running for office. He's scum of the lowest order, and some of us from Florida apologize for foisting him on the rest of you. And now frat douche Desantis is on his way up, he has all the qualities that the GOP covets, I guess we are becoming a breeding ground.

 

[Lanyap]

Meh, Scott's a nobody. DeSantis is the man of the hour.

This, I honestly don't understand how he isn't at the top of the ticket in the GOP clown show. The guy grifted some 200million+ from Floridians with his fraudulent medicare scams--for which he was awarded a fucking governorship. This guy is, if not the exact same as Trump, clearly the sort of garbage pile that republican voters eagerly wait their turn in line to suck dry.

Desantis always looks like a man who has just eaten a big fat turd.

Lol ... He actually thinks they are more afraid of him that he is of them. Who has the money, asshole? He is just blowing smoke with nothing behind it is the most charitable interpretation of his words. The alternative is that he is going to enact legislation focusing on specific companies out of pure partisan vengeance which would be abuse of power of the worst kind.

Someone needs to call him on this and ask whether that is what he really meant. He can try to craft all sorts of bills revoking tax breaks and such. It will bite them in the ass hard.

Here's another hypocrite douche who wants YOU (not him) to boycott some company.

Trump wants you to boycott Coke. His properties are still serving it | CNN Business

Over the past few years former President Donald Trump has called for boycotts against a number of companies, so it's hardly unusual to see him add Coca-Cola, Delta and other corporate giants that recently spoke out against Georgia's laws restricting voting access.

So what you are saying is that they just need to caucus with the Democrats?

True, or you can just lie all day like Schumer, or Nancy or AOC. Lying is OK if you're on the right team, right buddy?
Politics are not the answer anyway. Not when the .001% control like most of the wealth anyway, LOL. Keep voting, guys.

No. I said what I said knowing there are many who live in a state of consciousness well enough recognized as a psychological condition that has deserved the following description. “You don’t know shit from Shinola.

Do you really think that Schumer, Nancy and AOC are even in the same league of lying as Republicans? You're completely out of touch. I really like all of those people, particularly the ladies. For an older woman, IMO Pelosi's remarkably committed to serving the nation. Many wanted to supplant her as Speaker, but I don't know that someone else would be able to do the job she's doing there. Of course, I'm very much an outsider, so who knows?

There are reasons why people lack the capacity for honest introspection. Who wants to recognize they are full of shit. For that reason it would make little sense to go over the reasons your comment was absurd.
