Don't go there Drummer. In his ad's he's wearing denim and throwing hay bales, while walking the fence line with his family spewing Trump rhetoric from beginning to end. Anybody that emulates others is a fake. These new Trump want-to-be's are a dime a dozen. Man up, be yourself.....

The trump backing and way is helping these guys. Trump backed candidates have won the last 10 contested primaries I read in an article before. You jump on the coattails of trump and it's working.

He may have cut a deal ??  Not sure but he wasn't prosecuted , but.........😜😜

He lost his job as chief executive and at the time (1997) it was the largest fine ever recovered (1.7 Billion - $1,700,000,000) by the Department of Justice. But that's OK? Drummer's selective rage is comical. "Welfare reciprocate buys beer." Hang her....

Ain't it funny, though. Persecute someone for stealing peanuts but give the multi billion dollar thief a pass. Yes, HCA, Scott's former employer had a settlement north of at least one billion. Scott was essentially relieved of his job, but they gave him a golden parachute worth about $250 million for his troubles. He used some of that to finance his run for Governor.

You mean like Bill and Hillary Clinton..You voted for them didn't you ????.Oh, was Scott prosecuted ?????

I voted for Bill Clinton once. After one term I had had enough. I never supported Hillary against either Obama or Sanders. 

Regarding Scott, no he was not prosecuted. It seems to me that the only time well placed individual who commit fraud are prosecuted is when they steal from the very wealthy such as Bernie Madoff did. Steal from the common man or from the government, and unless politics is involved, you get a pass. 

Now go and rob the local 7 11 and it's comply or die. 

And for the record, I don't support doing that. But neither do I support fraudulent behavior. Both are crimes and should be punished. One is and the other typically is not. Go figure!

Scott apparently is leading among both Cubans and Puerto Ricans in Florida in recent polling.  And Trump’s improving national numbers fueled in part by better Hispanic numbers.  If true - wow!

Approval of trump by Hispanics up 10 points

Richard Trumka has refused to rule out the AFL-CIO from endorsing Trump in 2020.  Trump is systematically tearing away the pillars of the Democratic coalition one at a time.  He may remake American politics for 30 years or more.

Does the AFL usually vote democrat?

Absolutely - but more than that - unions fund Democratic campaigns and are responsible for a lot of ground work.

Oh ok they are a union. If trump can get the unions on board it will be huge but it will be hard to do since the judgement against the unions.

Trumka is a rabid Democrat.  But he represents industrial unions.  Hates NAFTA, likes tariffs, hates climate change.  If the AFL-CIO endorsement is actually in play - it would be enormous.

One might almost wonder that Trump’s ability to appeal to traditional Democratic groups is fueling the urgency to destroy him.  He scares the bejeesus out of them.

Itll be interesting as more of the left goes towards socialism will more people leave their platform and vote Republican in November. The independents is the ones to watch.

Well he was a Democrat his whole life. There no denying that. Yep that would be a whole lot of money flowing towards the RNC and votes. November is getting closer and it's more and more interesting by the day.

"Based on past polls and past voting behavior, about 20-25 percent of Hispanics consistently vote Republican in national elections. By contrast, roughly 45-40 percent vote Democratic. That leaves a “swing” constituency of about 30-35 percent. How they vote depends largely on the quality of the candidates, their leadership abilities and their attitudes toward Hispanics as an ethnic group."

This was pulled from the Washington Times article. It contains none of the reporter's bias, slant, or opinion. Scott is blanketing the airways ($$$). Nelson is a tired (but thoughtful) old guy. I wouldn't read a lot in to the polling of the race. Scott's money may prevail. As to the Washington Times, I prefer it's "daddy" the Washington Post ( 50+ Pulitzer Prizes to ZERO??) ..... Also, got time ? Read the WIKIPEDIA of the Washington Times and its history.

So if Scott is leading among Hispanics - it would be huge.  Of course it will be a race.  Florida is a swing state and Nelson is an incumbent.  Scott has very high name recognition - unlike most challengers.

Nixon and Reagan both got some Union endorsements. As for Trump tearing the Democratic Party apart, this can also be said for the Republican Party too. The more they (congress) play deaf and dumb to his trade wars, tariffs, fiscal policies, ect...there could be a split in that Grand Old Party.  Edit: Also his bad mouthing US Intelligence agencies, and sucking up to strong men/dictators. Republicans "No Like."

Trump’s approval among GOP voters is historically high.  His problem is with Washington Republicans.

5 Republicans stand on a busy street by a garbage can. They are all pointing at a piece of trash someone left. They are each saying how horrible it is for someone to throw trash on the ground being so close to the garbage can, what kind of person would do that, they just sit there bitching and moaning. A Democrat walks by, sees the piece of trash on the ground, picks it up, throws it in the garbage can and happily goes about his day. Republicans, looking shocked just start bitching and moaning, saying "how dare he"!!!!! Lol
