WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is diving deep into Florida’s Republican politics, joining his preferred candidate for governor in a competitive primary.
Trump is holding a rally in Tampa on Tuesday in a show of force for congressman Ron DeSantis, who faces off against state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in the state’s Aug. 28 GOP primary.
Another Trump ally, Gov. Rick Scott, is joining the president at an event earlier in the day but steering clear of the Tampa rally as he prepares for the Senate primary. Scott is seeking to defeat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in a high-profile Senate race.
Trump has played a role in several Republican primaries, helping candidates in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina in recent weeks with endorsements that underscore his influence within the GOP.
Of course Trump is supporting DeSantis. He’s like a homing device for the most reprehensible, right-wing, gun-hugging, immigrant bashing candidate that the GOP can regurgitate.
Quick Bugs!
on/off topic: so campaign ads against Stacy Abrams started here in GA. SOOOOOOOOOOO predictable. They simply revomit up the same shit no matter who the Dem candidate is, as in:
Same shit with Ossoff from a year ago.
Another 3 months of not being able to watch local or nightly news as they get inundated with these ad buys.
Let me guess he backing the candidate that actually believes the BS the GOP promotes instead of the candidate that just says he believes the BS the GOP promotes and will bend to the will of the GOP head mofos once in office.?
So is it possible (given that FL elected Rick Scott twice with no concerns over his professional record) that the support this candidate is getting from Scott and 45 is enough for the electorate to reject him?
Am I asking too much?
