I wrote a diary last week about how Scott in Florida was not getting the respect he wanted down here in Florida. He does however have the respect of the Koch brothers. Afterall, he is not nickle and diming them to death. In their case it would be million and billion dollars compared to nickle and dimes.
Joan has a piece up today regarding Medicaid money and how Scott and the Koch's are standing in the way. The Florida legislature is ready to expand.
Think about the concept of the Koch's and Scott standing joined at the hip for just a minute. He is their dream candidate on all fronts. He holds 29 electoral votes in a state that he was twice elected governor. He is a tea party favorite. He is rich beyond most people's dreams and owns his own jet. He does not have to go begging for billionaire money. He is a Navy veteran. He is like teflon. When we think of all the clowns in the clown car, we cannot ignore Rick Scott's ambitions. Why is he not the frontrunner? His company had a felony scandal but Scott himself was never charged. Chris Christie may be looking at indictment. Rick Perry did look at indicment. Scott Walker has his craziness. Rick Scott will run for something.. Count on it.
Jeb Bush is a Bush, married to a Latino and has not been in politics in over 10 years. He is not all that chummy with the Koch's.
I ask myself, why is Scott not the GOP favorite. HE IS THE FACE of the republican party. He not only is the face of the party, he gets away with not answering questions.
He IS the face of the tea party.
This is a question worth asking. Now I ask, why is Scott all aligned with the Koch Brothers tighter than before. Is he seeking a Senate or Presidental Run? If not, then why not, GOP? He is your guy.
