The republicans have just now found out who Rick Scott really is?

I lived in Florida at the time Scott did his medicare fraud. The dumb-ass republicans there then elected him as governor. He then started to do some of the same garbage that DeAsshole is doing now. They were so impressed with him that they elected him a second time as governor and then to Senator. So I hope Scott stole money from the GOP because they never learn. They elected a thief three times and then promoted him to a top position in the GOP. Now I hope they get their rewards. These types of people are now the face of the Republican party. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/rick-scotts-fraud-settlement-resurfaces-as-senate-gop-runs-low-on-cash/ar-AA10SMm3?li=BBnbfcL

...is a dollar that isn't going to elect Republicans.

The grift-snake is eating its own tail.

Gary Legum writes for Wonkette and Salon, for instance: https://medium.com/%40GaryLegum/about

Josh Marshall runs Talking Points Memo

Matt Yglesias writes on economics for various publications; he's not so left, but he's definitely no Republican.

So this is really long-time Scott critics from outside the Republicans saying "we told you so".

They are telling the truth about Scott and Trump! What is wrong with who they are? Most of us knew this about Scott years ago. Nothing new.

We now have Republicans coming out of the woodwork saying the same thing. Why not blame the fools who know they have been lying for years in the name of unity in their party. The love of power, plain old greed kept them silent. But now the pus of corruption has exploded all over them.

I thought Richard Nixon left an indelible stain but Trump and his gang have soiled it for a life time.

Oh, how I laughed. Rick Scott did to the GOP coffers what he did to medicare fraud.

Hey, they knew he was a scorpion when they voted for him. This is the shame on you part of the formula.
