“I’m supporting incumbents,” Scott said.

He is until he is not.

Scott is much like Trump which means he is using Rubio to shake Trump down for money. The only questions are does Trump really have any money and if he does how much is he will to pay Scott to stab Rubio in the back.

Lil’ Marco should be deeply grateful that Twitler’s account got taken away. It would have been bashing him incessantly as a RINO, disloyal, Never Trumper, etc. I guess Donnie Two Impeachments can always turn to Parler or whatever, but it just won’t be as effective.

You can ocunt me as one of those who think Lust Object will run against Lil Marco. Whether she’ll win is a different matter. One of the main things that each Rump has learned in the past 4 years is that government in general is a prime reserve for grift. She doesn’t have to do anything for her constituents. Throw out a bunch of lies tailored to a particular group, claim that Dems are blocking her from making America great again and steal as much money from the Feds as possible.

If 45 is banned from politics during the impeachment trial, it does not follow that he’d allow anyone else named trumPP to run. His ego won’t allow it, it’s him or it’s no one. But it’s Floriduh, so it’d be a contest between two dilettantes.

Scott might change his mind when 5000 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers surround his house night after night for 3 months, yelling and screaming and shitting on his lawn.

It’s what they do.

Scott repeatedly insisted that he is “supporting incumbents” and that no one has talked to him about potential challengers to Rubio’s re-election.

I’m supporting incumbents,” Scott said.

Wonder why she would primary such a reliable right-winger. And I’m not sure she’d win. She might do better if she claimed Cuban heritage.
Anyhow, the only way I’d tune in is if this became a mud-wrestling challenge.
