Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is being mentioned as a potential Vice Presidential candidate if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination. And as Mike Vasilinda tells us, it’s an outside chance, but Florida could wind up with a woman chief executive if Trump and Scott were to win.

Governor Rick Scott made national news when he defended Donald Trump back in January in USA today. He became the darling of national talk shows.

“We need a big change and Donald is talking about it” is what Scott told Morning Joe viewers.

Now the former hospital executive is said to be on a short list of potential Vice Presidential candidates if Trump wins the GOP nomination. Scott told us it’s not on his radar.

Q:”Are you interested?”

WhatI focus on is my job here. I have three years left in this job. We’ve added a million three hundred thirty five thousand jobs. I want to add more jobs” said Scott.

But Trump supporter and state representative Larry Ahern thinks Scott would be a good choice.

“You look at the politics of Washington and you say, what’s the biggest problem here? I think its the political insider that always being played” says Ahern.

Super lobbyist Bill Rubin lobbied for Scott before he was Governor and has known him longer than other Tallahassee insiders,

“They’re both business people that are not connected to the political establishment in a year when the political establishment is not the choice, in my opinion, of either party” says Rubin.

There is a scenario, however improbable in this year of strange political happenings that could see Florida end up with its first woman Governor without her ever seeking the job.

The Lt. Governor is next in line to take over. But he’s running for the US Senate…if he wins, the Attorney General, Pam Bondi would become Governor.

Scott has been elected twice as Governor, but in both 2010 and 2014 he got less than 50 percent of the votes cast. His margin was 48.9% in 2010 and fell to 48.1% in 2014.
