Gov. Rick Scott kicked off the third night of the Republican National Convention Wednesday by calling on Americans to elect Donald Trump president because he’s the only candidate who can defeat terrorism. How many more “Orlandos”, “San Bernadinos”, or “Ft”. I cried with the grieving moms and dads and brothers and sisters of the 49 people slaughtered by an ISIS-inspired terrorist. It is here in America, and the next president must destroy this evil.

Rubio, who you’ll recall dropped out of the presidential contest in March to focus instead on running for president in 2020, has rejoined the race for the Senate seat he hopes to hang onto. A lot of politicians like to give speeches where they say “we are at a crossroads”. But that’s not really where we are. “Our jobs are going overseas”. “I know Donald, and he will appoint conservative justices who will defend, rather than rewrite, our Constitution”.
Mac Stipanovich, a veteran GOP consultant and anti-Trump advocate, said a speech the day before the closing night of the convention in Cleveland isn’t likely to be a game-changing moment for Scott, but probably won’t hurt him either. Perhaps he’s sometimes not polite. “But I’ll tell you what, the Supreme Court has already made the decision”, Scott said.
It’s unclear why Scott didn’t get a prime-time spot; at first we thought the hotness factor was at play, but then we remembered Texas Sen.
“We need to figure out how to come together as a country and include the Republican Party”. We need a President who is not afraid to say “radical Islamic terrorism”.
Trump, a part-time Palm Beach resident, knows the route to defeating Hillary Clinton in November passes through the Sunshine State.

“We have to make sure that Donald Trump wins the state of Florida”, Rep. Jeff Miller, who represents the Panhandle in Congress, said.
