http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/271681-florida-governor-declines-to-endorse-before-primaryRepublican Florida Gov. Rick Scott is not endorsing a candidate in the party's presidential race ahead of his state's March 15 primary.
"I have made it my practice to not get involved in primaries because picking the Republican candidate is the voters job," Scott wrote in a statement posted to Facebook on Thursday.
"The political class opposed me when I first ran for office, they did not want a businessman outsider, but the voters had other ideas," he said.
"I trust the voters, so I will not try to tell the Republican voters in Florida how to vote by endorsing a candidate before our primary on March 15," Scott continued. "I believed in the voters when I first ran for office, and I still believe in them today."

I would guess Skeletor would endorse Trump... you know with birds of a feather sticking together.

(42,770 posts)4. Interesting. I have listened to most all Trump says - TV
news on all day in background. I think it all depends on whether or not he is way ahead head-to-head in FL. Plus - I have heard him say he wants someone who has government background - Feddie. So, I am thinking it will be a GOP senator or rep.
