Florida Gov. Rick Scott isn't endorsing anyone yet for the GOP nomination, even Floridians Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, but he said Thursday that he does understand why Donald Trump is winning in the polls as the 2016 primaries approach.
Whether it's Obamacare, taxes, regulation, the anti-business attitude, we need a big change, and Donald's talking about it," the Republican leader told MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
There's a lot of great candidates I'm not endorsing today, but they need to talk about the frustration of Americans to get this economy going again.
He pointed out that 365,000 people moved to his state last year, and are attracted there because we have no [state] income tax, and by the way, we're going to cut out, starting next week, cut taxes another billion dollars this year . . . We've added a million jobs in five years because we made dramatic changes in our state.
And like with Scott's state, where "we're going to go after every business in the world to get after Florida, we need a person that's going to do the same thing."
The governor's comments echoed those he made in a Wednesday op-ed piece for USA Today, where he compared Trump with his own race in 2010, when he won as an outsider candidate.

because he or she has a believable plan for robust job creation in America. Yes, foreign policy and defense will be front-burner issues in this election, but let's not forget that without a thriving economy, we will never be able to afford the kind of vigorous defenses that our country must have.

Frustration isn’t the half of it. I want that appeasing RINO infested party burnt to the figurative ground if they don’t “come to Jesus”. I’m done with them, and their mommas, too.
I live here Scott has been a unseen governor
Seems to run the state like a business
I think he would endure Trump over Bush
Thee economy may be doing better here because all the Yankees are moving down here
“I want that appeasing RINO infested party burnt to the figurative ground if they don’t “come to Jesus”. I”m done with them, and their mommas, too.”
Well Gaffer, bring on the torches, because the RINOs wouldn’t “Come to Jesus” if Jesus were delivering the message personally. The only hope for our country is to run all of them out of office. At least we’d be saving what we pay them to sit around figuring out more ways to screw us.
Most of our governors are ‘unseen’. The Florida Guv doesn’t have a lot of ‘power’ like some states’ governors.......Mainly it’s a cheer-leading job...............
I am certainly down for that. There is no difference between them and a Democrat except that with a Democrat you are naturally on your guard. I stopped being a Republican when George W. Bush created the DHS and TSA.

Yes, I too am ashamed that I supported GWB for so long. It should not have taken me as long as it did to figure out his game because I always knew his father was a lousy “globalist.” But the thing that really pisses me off is his ten year war in Iraq and all his BS about “democratizing” that country with our blood and treasure. But now, not a day goes by that I don’t post some $hit on Jebbie’s FB page as my “contribution” to his failing campaign. And the good news is that 90% of the other posters there are sending him hate messages too. Trump or Cruz (or Trump/Cruz) is the only way out today!
I chalk my misguided support to W as a big misunderstanding of the real implications of Islam and what establishment Republicanism is willing to do about it. One Big Ass Mistake (America)....
Other than that, Florida is wonderful....of course, there are some NUTCASES here (Alan Greyson, DWS, Corrine Brown, Kathy Castor), but Rick Scott, Pam Bondi, Adam Putnam are good people...
