Rick Scott Should Be Ashamed Of Himself.....

Voting and tabulating the voting in Florida has been problematic and really manifested itself back in Bush v Gore days. Given that - Scott as Governor of the State should have done something to improve the voting process in the State. He certainly had enough time as Governor to do that.

Here we are in 2018 and it is evident that nothing has been done to improve on the system. It's as bad today as it was almost 20 years ago. In my opinion - Scott has failed as Governor and now he wants to represent the State as a Senator. Come on now. What's wrong with the People of Florida rewarding this guy to represent them as Senator?

He failed as Governor and he'll fail as Senator. He's not interested in doing anything for the People of Florida. He's only in it for himself.

Scott's lack of conscience has been obvious, for years.

For those of you who might be concerned for him, rest assured that he made out OK. His net worth increased by some $230 million while Governor.

for a new senator orientation meeting and to vote on leadership.

He's calling himself senator-elect.

Disgusting man.

Answers only to the people who voted for him. Considers everyone else traitors to the country.

I hope we root out each and every one of these thieves and let them experience the American justice system.

The republicans have been cheating for years and the Dems usually just back down and accept. I have always said Dems should campaign in the so called red states. We are now fighting back and we have a new generation of voters. Not this time!

The man is a robot
he repeats the same lines over and over again and still can't get the right phrasing for them.
He is a sycophant and a yes-man for Trump. They are 2 peas in a pod after all

Our state is a mess because of him. People who think he's done a good job haven't really seen the devastation his policies have done to rural areas. But they keep voting republic, I just don't understand.

This whole election is so frustrating to me . . .
