Florida Gov. Rick Scott made his Senate candidacy official on Monday, according to Politico. His challenge of Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) is shaping up to be a major referendum on the Trump administration.
According to Politico, the long-anticipated race is currently polling at a tie, with some giving a small edge to Nelson. Both men have various advantages: Scott has massive personal wealth that he can tap into to help fund his race. Nelson has his record of statewide success and an enthusiastic Democratic base.
Ultimately, per Politico, the race will likely be seen nationwide as evidence that a close connection to Trump helps or hurts in one of the country’s most critical swing states.
Because one Republican miscreant Senator isn’t enough. If Scott wins, then Florida is truly: America’s Dick.
Albeit a flaccid dick.
He should always–always–be referred to as “Admitted Thief Rick Scott.” Or maybe, just to vary it a bit, as Rick, The Man Who Admitted Stealing $1.8 Billion From Medicare, Scott. Democrats cannot remind Florida voters enough about his past.
“Crooked Scotty”
“Ricky, Scurge of the Rest Homes”
VERY important for Dems to commit financially and otherwise to this race, I think.
