Welcome to

A Donald Trump victory today in Indiana could all but seal Trump’s nomination, and as Trump gets closer to the nomination, Trump himself, as Mike Vasilinda tells us, has suggested Florida Governor Rick Scott could be in the running to be his Vice Presidential running mate.

Over the weekend, Trump fueled speculation Scott was being considered as a potential  Vice Presidential running mat. Trump praised Scott in a New York Times interview. And a Washington Post story listed Scott as one of the top 5 choices Trump Should consider,  Scott confidante Melissa Stone says it isn’t going to happen.

“I think the Governor  has made it clear. He has the job he wants. He has a lot more work to do and he’s not leaving it” says Stone.

“But what about the old adage, if the nominee asks, it’s hard to say no?”

”Well” responded Stone, “the Governor is a big supporter of Mr. Trump’s. He’s clearly the right man to run the economy around. He would love to give him advice  just like he’s done in Florida to turn the economy around. How to do that with a national economy, but he has the job he wants and he’s staying here.”

The Group, Americans for Prosperity tangled with Rick Scott over corporate subsidies this past seen and won, killing one of the Governor’s top priorities. that battle aside, State Director Chris Hudson says Scott would be good at the VP job,

“We think the Governor has done a pretty dynamic job of creating a pro jobs climate here in Florida” says Hudson.

As Bob Graham was finishing his term as Governor, the worst kept secret here in the Capitol was that Graham wanted a seat in the US Senate.  But all that Graham would ever say is that the best resume for the job you want , is doing a good job with the job you’ve got.

A call to the Florida Democratic Party was not returned. A spokesman has been quoted as saying “We could not be so lucky.” They probably aren’t.

Under Florida law, Scott could run for Vice President and if he loses could remain Governor. If Scott were to run and win, LT. Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera would take over…unless he wins his US Senate bid, in which case, the Governorship would go to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
