I know, right!? They&#039;re like two peas in the same pathetic pod. 

I cannot think about Rick Scott without remembering his awful &lt;i&gt;11-Point Plan to Rescue America&lt;/i&gt;

https://rescueamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/RickScott-11-Point-Policy-Book.pdf

policy proposals released before the 2022 elections a.k.a. the NOT Red Wave or Red Tsunami midterms. The GOP collectively shrugged their shoulders and claimed it wasn&#039;t their policy.  

Fast forward to 2024 and we have literally the same situation with &lt;i&gt;Project 2025&lt;/i&gt;, and Trump and the GOP (again) claim total ignorance because they obviously think we&#039;re all stupid.  

It&#039;s like déjà vu all over again wherein these clowns seem to never not be in the process of a plan to screw America.</description>

		<description>@kick,

i remember rick scott when he first ran for governor. if there&#039;s one guy who&#039;s even more trumpy than trump, Rick Scott might be that guy. I mean, how many senators can you name who as CEO&#039;s lost a health care fraud case to the tune of 1.7 billion dollars, then beat his opponent by falsely accusing him of the exact crime for which he and his company were convicted? Rick Scott is special.

		<description>What should Democratic candidates and office-holders, as well as common taters like us, do or say to get voters to stop viewing Republican failure-cultists positively on the economy?  Having better policies and better records hasn&#039;t helped.  Saying that they will &quot;fight for the middle class&quot; (and implicitly, that they&#039;ll presumably fight &lt;i&gt;against&lt;/i&gt; the poor) hasn&#039;t helped.  And I&#039;m sorry, but I&#039;m not optimistic that the slogan &quot;Republican cult of economic failure&quot; would get through either.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Elizabeth, just because the Dems aren’t using your decidedly unwieldy and not catchy &lt;b&gt;cult of economic failure&lt;/b&gt; doesn’t mean they’ve ceded the economy to the Repugs. &lt;/i&gt;

Never heard that one. ;) 

Actually, it&#039;s &lt;b&gt;Republican cult of economic failure&lt;/b&gt;. Big difference.</description>

&lt;i&gt;This SHOULD be a winning issue. &lt;/i&gt;

Abortion is a winning issue as long as you&#039;re a pro-choice and &quot;Mind Your Own Damn Business&quot; candidate.

&lt;i&gt;But, given how Democrats have essentially ceded the economic file to Republicans and how voters feel that Republicans have the best economic policy, I doubt that Democrats really know how to capitalize on either issue.&lt;/i&gt;

While you might not like it or understand it, the reason the Democrats have &quot;switched horses&quot; was to get a person who could actually deliver a message, and she chose her running mate accordingly. 

Don&#039;t believe me... check the polls. 

&lt;i&gt;What a &quot;wacko&quot; country! &lt;/i&gt;

I suspect the polls are moving in the direction they are is because people more increasingly do not trust the pathologically lying Trump on any issue... ample proof we&#039;re not all &quot;wacko.&quot; :)

Be sure to watch Biden&#039;s speech at the Democratic National Convention... night 1.</description>

I trust that you missed a recent poll that measured who voters trust more on the economy:





42% Harris
41% Trump







Regardless of what all the bedwetters have been saying most voters don’t pay much attention until after Labor Day. That’s why I scoffed at “the Dems aren’t doing or saying enough” all year. One shouldn’t shoot until the shot counts.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Arizona and Nevada could still put her over the top.&lt;/i&gt;

Maybe Fox News will call Arizona early and send the Trumpanzees over the edge... again.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The state used to be a battleground, but has shifted more solidly red of late, to the point where it is now no more than an impossible dream for Democrats -- probably for either the presidential race or the Senate race (Marco Rubio is up for re-election this year). &lt;/i&gt;

Marco Rubio was reelected in 2022. Rick Scott is up for reelection this year in Florida and running against Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. 

&lt;i&gt;At best, Democrats might be able to manage losing by a slimmer margin than might have been true without abortion on the ballot, but that&#039;s about all they can realistically hope for. &lt;/i&gt;

Rick Scott defeated Bill Nelson 50.05% to 49.93% in 2018. Don&#039;t expect it&#039;ll be that much of a squeaker this time around, though.</description>

		<description>The 78 year old orange weirdo says that interest in abortion is way down. He&#039;s lost in the dementia fog. He sounded like Daffy Duck impersonating Ozzy Osbourne last night on failing TwitterX. Sad.

Women will get their retribution for the Trump Abortion Bans and the 34 time convicted loser will add to his felony collection.</description>
