GOP must find a single challenger to Trump: Scott

By Guy Page

The GOP needs a single challenger to Donald Trump, and it can’t happen soon enough, Gov. Phil Scott told the media today. 

Vermont Public’s Bob Kinzel asked when the GOP will narrow the field of presidential challengers to frontrunner Donald Trump down to one person. 

“There will be eventually. Maybe not soon enough,” Scott said. “But they’re getting there. It seems like they’re coming down to [Florida Gov. Ron] Desantis, [Nikki] Haley, and [Chris] Christie – with Christie on the outside.”

Kinzel asked which was his favorite.

“I like Chris Christie for a lot of reasons, but I like Nikki Haley as well. I know both of them. “She’s got a lot of compassion, but she’s run a state, so she knows how to balance a budget. But I can say that about Chris Christie as well.” 

He added that Haley’s “been on the worldwide stage.” 

Not that any of the candidates have asked for his endorsement. “They’re probably worried it would hurt their chances,” he said with a laugh.

Scott himself has not decided whether he’s running for re-election. 

Other news from the press conference:

In a discussion of flood recovery, Scott said the Pavilion building, housing the governor’s office and other key offices, is likely to open in January. No decision has been made on reopening the VTrans garage on Rte. 302.


The Vermont Criminal Justice Council is considering decertifying Franklin County Sheriff Grismore, who was caught on video kicking a manacled suspect in the groin area. Scott noted that such a decision “doesn’t exclude him from being sheriff.” When asked if an appointed board decertifying an elected official is an infringement on the right of county voters, he answered, “It’s right on the edge. They’re not debarring him from being sheriff. They’re debarring him from police work.” It would be preferable for a sheriff to have police powers, but as the job is administrative it’s not essential, he said.

  1. Vote with your wallets, it is working! I wonder if Governor Empty Suit has any comment regarding this good news: “Financial giant Blackrock recently announced it’s pulling back from its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda. According to journalist Charlie Gasparino’s sources, Blackrock’s PR and marketing teams are scrambling to reorient the company’s ESG strategy due to backlash. In August, S&P Global said it would stop rating securities based on ESG criteria. And Vanguard pulled out of the global climate finance alliance called the Net Zero Managers Initiative. A recent Wall Street Journal analysis finds ESG mentions on company earnings calls have plummeted over the last year. ESG’s fraternal twin DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is also on the wane, with companies shedding their chief diversity officers. According to Jason Hanold, chief executive of Hanold Associates Executive Search, diversity officer demand is at a 30-year low.”

    • Let’s stop pretending that Vermonters (are permitted to) really vote!

      The military is the only way.

  2. As “the most popular governor in the country,” why don’t you do your patriotic duty, step up, and DIY, Phil?

    • Did not intend to duplicate this post – cyber gremlins threw up an error and I didn’t think it posted the 1st time. In any event, duplicating good news is worth a second read I suppose.

  4. Phil Scott likes Chris Christie….but OF COURSE he does. Chris and his mafioso abettors won’t dare challenge the deep corruption & abomination that defines D.C. & is destroying this Constitutional Republic!

    After all, with that fat tub of lard (sorry, but Christie is a no-good grifting politico so he’s fair game) chasing American citizens off their taxpayer-funded beaches during a pandemic introduced by the taxpayer-funded N.I.H. in cooperation with Communist China – and then watching as that over-inflated Jersey scuzzball scammer took up residence on said beach with his own wife and family and used it as though it were their private island, it’s no wonder Scott loves him!

    DAME and SCOTT: PERFECT TOGETHER!

    • Nikki Haley is much worse than Chris Christie. Christie is authentically who he is, whether you like him or not. Haley is a total puppet for big corporations with no principles.

    • Beachgate was prior to the pandemic. The beach was closed to the public because of a state government shutdown. It was in 2017.

    • Oh….well that minor detail changes everything for me, Mr. Koch. Yet he nevertheless closed publicly funded beaches to citizens & then personally vacationed on them with his own family two years before Covid19 was released -thanks to the nefarious acts of Fauci’s N.I.H. in cooperation with Communist China. Even the notoriously left “Huffington Post” called out his brash hypocrisy.

      Unfortunately, despite the year this particular fiasco took place – Phil Scott & Paul Dame are both still impotent RINO’s contributing to Vermont’s destruction & doing nada to empower & enable the GOP here, and Chris Christie is still an over-inflated Jersey scuzzball scammer.

    • The crux of the matter is Governor Empty Suit publically outed himself as an establishment lap dog yet again. Nikki Haley (not her real name, btw) is a UN stooge who went from rags to riches for doing the bidding of her Master. Beachgate, BridgeGate, Sandygate…Chris Christie’s gates enter the gates of Hell either way. As the theater of the absurd continues, the players are playing right into the traps set up for them and I can’t wait for those traps to snap shut. God wins!

  5. Yes, Rino Phil, voicing his irrelevant views, on the upcoming election, we all know he doesn’t like Trump and that’s his prerogative, but who cares, you can’t even balance
    a budget in a state of our size, and you have a view about Trump, I’d keep them to myself, you sound like a buffoon !!

    Hey Phil, there is a front runner, and it’s Donald J Trump just in case you and your liberal friends haven’t noticed, but when keep pushing all the negative BS, all it does
    is to wake up the average voter, in all parties and they see the narrative.

    I don’t care how much money the GOP elites spend on Haley, she’s not going to make it, and Christie is not even worth mentioning, just another loudmouth !!

    Hey Phil, have another scotch, it will be over soon……………….

    • I have to question either the motive or the knowledge of anyone that does not whole heartedly support Trump. If there is a better choice for a competent leader, they have not yet become visible. But Vivek shows possibilities.

  6. that he supports a warmonger like Haley is very disappointing. he is right the field needs to be narrowed

  7. Scott is deep state. War mongering globalist..if he chooses these scum bags over trump..

  8. Christie is only running for his anti Trump
    Agenda. He got caught with a mess in NJ. Haley quit her position in the Trump administration. Never finished. Couldn’t hack it. Wouldn’t vote for her based on that alone. She was not a well liked Governor in SC. She dropped the ball on a lot of things, like I-95 repairs.
    When a RINO governor who kisses the feet of a progressive/socialist legislature and does not have the cohones to stand up for the actual citizens of VT, endorses Biden, that should speak volumes.
    Trump is the front runner. The GOP in VT needs an new head and an infusion of new blood preferably from the NEK or Franklin County as there are whole towns that vote red.
    Time to abolish students voting in Burlington. It screws everything for the locals!!
    I am so happy that we moved out of state. Especially 20% tax increase. Try saying no for a change. That might get you back into the real world. Progressives think that this is their time because the world is going to end in 5 yrs. I beg to differ!!!

    • Well put and truly said, I agree with everything. What state did you pick, I also am looking to abandon this sinking ship?

  9. The Vt GOP must find a single challenger to Democrat Phil Scott and it can’t happen soon enough.

    • For someone who claims they haven’t decided to run in 2024- phil scott certainly made a campaign event out of this news conference. scott’s preference for christie seems directly addressing the majority Vermont democrat voter, the voter that keeps Scott in office and listed as ‘the most popular governor’. This one fact, scott’s popularity with the dem voter is keeping the Vermont legislature partially at bay. Yes the stupid bills keep coming, the state budget is off the rails- but imagine where it would be with any D or P as governor. It’s called pretending. pretending that Vermont is a Representative Republic and not a democracy, where the mob rules. There will be no conservative anywhere near the governors office, nor in the senate or house for generations in Vermont- that is until the wheels fall off the wagon, and there’s no more dollars to extract from the complacent Vermont taxpayer.
      We’ve already been told of a projected 20% property tax increase for 2024. Certainly the legislature will move peas under shells to get that number to 10-12% and use that action as a campaign talking point, while adding the ‘millionaire’ tax they desperately clamor for. This legislative session and campaign season will be all about ridiculous proposals and legislation introduced, then toned down to appease the voter on November 7. The theme for 2024 really is “pretending”. Just as phil scott did in his press conference this week.

    • I recently received a survey via email for governor.

      I started the survey but quit when the choices were either Dave Zuckerman or Howard Dean.

      Obviously, the Marxists in our state have high hopes for a new governor.

    • Yes find a Maga republican who will help elect a progressive into the governor’s office. Brilliant.

  10. Scott is not a Republican! He is a Democrat. And he hates every voter out there. Just like every other politician. They vote their agenda not ours! They are tools use them as such. Stop trying to hammer with a screwdriver!!

    • It is not just SCOTT that wanted to remove Trump from office early. Remember there was a long list of RINOS that signed on along with traitor Scott.

      I have repeatedly asked for these representatives to put up a list on Facebook if they are really proud of what they did to AMMERICA.

      I remember seeing the post on Facebook by Patty McCoy encouraging people to sign on to remove Trump.

      I told her we have very few Republicans we can trust in the State of Vermont, and she will end up destroying the Republican Party who already had trouble getting voters to the polls.

      With the (sarcasm) supreme intelligence they continued their quest to support the traitor Phil Scott and denounce President Trump.

      Look what these so-called republicans have done to Vermont and the USA.

      Vermont is in big trouble.

    • Yes a democrat that vetos half of all the democratic adopted legislation. How did you figure that out?

  11. Haley is a WEF graduate of the Klaus Schwab new world order…BEWARE!

    It Trump or China?
    Freedom or Freedom Lost?

    This administration wants government to rule us. Do you really want the government ruling you?

  12. Scott is like Cheney and Kinzinger, Republicans in name only and then barely that.

  13. Propaganda and incitement.

    If you wanted the world to go to war, what might you do?
    You could not only kill babies but show them being beheaded.

    Want to get a Marxist upset?
    Tell them there will be mandatory literary education on the old and New Testament.

    Want to rile up some conservative people who love their republic?
    Tell them their leader MUST be replaced, by Chris Christie! lol…..

    might as well throw gas on a fire and not expect.

    A leader of his own party, who wanted to build the party, even build the party in his own image would have chosen different words. A leader could have said, I’m not certain yet, haven’t made up my mind. My vote is a personal matter. We are looking to unify Vermonters, not divide them, we need to focus, to come together on our own issues.

    You can tell a tree by what type of fruit that grow on its branches.

  14. The choices are Phil Scott or a Marxist extremist. The choices are Phil Scott or a Marxist extremist. Conservatives, keep repeating this until you accept the reality of VT politics.

    • Tom, perhaps so, but I haven’t voted for him since stabbed me and many other Vermonters in the back. Remember when he pledged NOT to sign any new gun legislation and then did the exact opposite in his very first term??? I do, hasn’t gotten my vote since.

    • you think Phil will be governor for decades to come? it’s either this election or next that we have a governor once than him. so as a conservative I will not vote for him because the little bit he has stopped will be happening sooner rather than later anyway. this state is finished. Phil could have build the party and help groom future candidates but he chose not to.

    • yeah Tom, when the VTGOP fixes the whole election, that’s what you get every time!

      I saw firsthand what fellow countrymen did to Keith.

      No money,
      No list
      No help
      No introduction at summer party
      Not allowed to speak at summer party.

      And then, when he started gaining traction?
      Governors’ association sent Scott a million dollars to fight Keith Stern.

      The VTGOP, makes darn sure nobody has a chance against their uniparty leader.

    • and you guys keep feeding us it’s the governor that makes all the difference, clearly it’s not! Supermajority trumps governor every day. Majority runs the house. There is no depth, there is nothing to build depth. There is no plan.

      But yeah, keep waving shiny things and letting everyone think Scott is saving Vermont. It’s the perfect uniparty foil. The VDP can claim he prevented things, and they don’t have to take credit for the disasters, it’s Scott’s fault. The cell phone feeds are amazing. VDP definitely does not want there guy/gal to be governor, no way, then they would have all the burden on their shoulders.

      We are being played, by both sides.

  15. Hey Phil, at least Trump was able to get the country back on the right track during his term unlike the current resident that you voted for back in 2020. You and Dame are cut from the same cloth and you both talk about how the Vt GOP is being divided, you both are perfect examples why.

  16. And still – not a word from ‘never-Trumpers’ about why Trump’s policies to control the border are so terrifying. I mean, 12,000 illegal crossings just yesterday, from China and Africa. Not a word about Trump’s Abraham Accords and his peaceful results in the Middle East. Not a word about today’s inflation and the $34 Trillion debt. Nothing about being energy independent. Nothing about supporting police and honoring law and order. Nothing about Trump’s support for School Choice and lower taxes. Not a word about anything average Americans care about.

    Why do you suppose that is?

    Because no one else performs as well as Trump in these issues. All they can say is that Trump is widely disliked. So, get over it. We’re not electing a Ms. Congeniality or a Prom King. We’re looking for the person who can best deal with a world that is, domestically and internationally, more and more every day, raging out of control.

    What has Governor Scott done? Well in the biggest local issue, property taxes and education, he’s telling us to expect an 18.5% increase in spending. That’s from $23,856 per student per year to $28,269 per year per student.

    And for that, in my school district at least, we just learned this week not only that half of our high school freshman class doesn’t read to grade level, they can only read to an elementary grade level.

    No one in their right mind would want this to continue. Meanwhile, all Scott can say is that we “must find a single challenger to Trump”. Makes a lot of sense. Not!

  17. Anyone in politics who wants “anyone but Trump” is a part of the problem in government.

  18. Nope. After all the scams, lies, and legal malfeasance it’s perfectly clear that the entire establishment needs to be completely replaced with people loyal to the actual US Constitution. I will only vote Trump. I will write him in if necessary. No other option. No one else even comes close.

  19. Phil Scott admitted to voting for dementia joe and now any republican takes him as credible? sorry Phil you have been a failure to the republican party and have now set VT up as never electing a republican to statewide office again. sure Phil keep talking.

    • No Keith….ONLY democrats & their RINO friends take him as credible. Scott’s voter base aren’t republicans, they’re these dems & Rino’s and so he panders to them. The guy has no backbone, no character, no ethics, but he’s got all the important things: Money and Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. trump will be president unless the votes are suddenly stopped being counted at 1 a.m. and suddenly come morning someone else got more votes than any president ever? like last time.

  21. Personally, I would love it if Guy would start reporting on Trump’s weekly rallies. I watched Sean Hannity throw him a softball last night and ask him if he was going to be a dictator last night in Iowa and he said, “Yes!, but only on Day One.” He said last week that as President he never swore an oath to the Constitution (he did), he said that he is going to destroy Obamacare to the dismay of every Red State governor that wants re-election and that’s just last week. I know no one here cares that we live in a democracy as long as libs are being owned but its fascinating watching America sleepwalk its way to autocracy.

    I would definitely cough up $108 for less Johnny Bananas and more of a daily briefing of the latest attempt to destroy our democracy.

    • Trump is going to be a dictator? If he is he’s the only dictator that will allow all Americans to keep their guns. What dictator in his right mind would do that?

      1929 – Russia disarms its citizens. Between 1929 & 1953 20 million Russians murdered.

      1935 – China disarms its citizens. Between 1948 & 1952 20 million Chinese murdered. However, in China they believe it’s more like 100 million murdered.

      1938 – Germany disarms its citizens. Between 1939 & 1945 over 13 million Jews and
      other nationalities murdered.

      1956 – Cambodia disarms its citizens. Between 1975 & 1977 1 million educated
      Cambodians murdered.

      1964 – Guatemala disarms its citizens. Between 1964 & 1981 100 thousand Mayan
      Indians murdered.

      1970 – Uganda disarms its citizens. Between 1971 & 1979 over 300 thousand
      Christians murdered.

      And by the way Comrade Chris we are not a “democracy” we are a Constitutional Representative Republic.

      Adolf Hitler: “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country”. (On November 11th 1938, Wilhelm Frick, passed Regulations Against Jews’ Weapon Possession. This regulation effectively deprived all Jews the right to possess firearms or other weapons.)

    • I only say that because IT LITERALLY CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH TWICE TUESDAY. In reality, he just wants to sit on the toilet and tweet, but in reality about guns and the citizens:

      Good for you to think that the American people could stop the American military with their guns

      Is Daniel Banyai and Meal Team 6 going to protect us when Trump’s gestapo comes to my door?

      As I said before, I want more Trump coverage because we are sleepwalking through autocracy and his is telling us exactly what he’s going to do, but the lamestream media he claims to hate is going to “both sides” him and Sleepy Joe because its good for business.

    • What did he say after “Yes, but only on day one,” Chris?

      If you don’t know, you’re a dupe, and if you do know, you’re a duper.

    • It’d be cool if any of you could engage with me without going straight to name calling, but then again, I’m not the one in a cult. To answer your question S, it’s irrelevant (but you know that, that’s why you asked) because for the President of the United States, the ONLY correct answer is “Hell, no I represent the people” He couldn’t even answer Hannity’s softball.

    • So, Chris, what’s your position on Biden’s illegal immigration policy, the open border, inflation, national debt, the Abraham Accords and mid-east peace, and the general absence of war during the Trump administration?

      Did you buy into the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Mueller investigation? Do you know why the Hillary Clinton campaign funded the fake Steele dossier and why FBI Director Comey lied to the FISA courts to illegally spy on a presidential candidate? What are your thoughts about Trump’s Ukraine impeachment scam?

      Do you know how many FBI agents were undercover on site during the so-called Jan 6 insurrection? Do you know why Trump’s recommendation to have 20,000 national guard troops at the capital that day (Jan 6) was denied? Was Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick murdered with a fire extinguisher by a Jan 6 protester? Was killing Ashley Babbitt justified?

      Do you know anything about NY property appraisals and why Trump is being accused of fraud in that regard, when no one lost money? If the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) Act, applies to Trump, does it apply to Joe Biden too? If no one can prove the 2020 election was stolen, can anyone prove it wasn’t stolen?

      Can you explain why Joe Biden lied about Hunter’s laptop and his business associates? Can you explain why more than 50 current and former U.S. intelligence officers, including the heads of the CIA, NSA, and FBI, lied about Hunter’s laptop just a week or so before the 2020 election?

      Locally, can you explain to us how Vermont town clerks verify signatures on mail-in ballots? Do you care that half our 9th graders are reading only to an elementary school level? Do you think spending $28,000 a year per student is enough? Do you favor School Choice?

      Whose Gestapo is it that you’re worried about? Chris Wray’s? Merrick Garland’s? Or one called by a local school board?

    • Comrade Chris in case you don’t know it won’t be the U.S Military we’ll be fighting. The military will be on our side they took the same oath to the constitution we veterans did.

      P.S. only 3% of the colonial population with their own personal weapons fought the British in the field and with the help of God they were defeated. There are over 446 million guns in the United States what’s 3% of 446 million?

    • Oh Jay, I wasn’t even talking to you, but I obviously rattled your cage if you decided to ask me twenty questions that have absolutely nothing to do with what I’m talking about, but if you don’t want to admit that your savior said that he will be a dictator and never swore an oath to the Constitution that you and other pretend to believe in, I hope that gets you through your day.

      For starters, I’ve told you at least four times that I don’t like Joe Biden and I am a Phil Scott (sane) Republican, so write it down because I can’t keep doing this. Your strawman arguments mean nothing because he sucks, but he’s not a traitor like your hero. He got rid of the Clintons which I’m grateful for, but I don’t like Biden, get that through your head. I’ll tell you what, I will answer EVERY ONE of these nonsensical questions for you if you answer these five for me:

      1) What did Eric Trump mean when he said in 2014 on the record, “We don’t rely on American banks, we get all the money that we need from Russia.

      2) Why did Trump sell a mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million dollars to a Russian oligarch that was never lived in and was later torn down?

      3) Why does Hunter’s faux laptop bother you but crickets about Jared Kushner receiving $2 billion from the Saudis? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/10/us/jared-kushner-saudi-investment-fund.html (I’ll save my question about Trump embezzling money from the LIV tour later)

      4) How can you reconcile the fact that you are so concerned about national security when Cheeto Mussolini was charged with 32 felony counts of violating the Espionage Act? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-charges-trump-classified-documents-case-2023-07-28/ (I’ll save you the correlation between the increased deaths of our spies and the specific documents leaked later)
      If you want to talk schools:

      5) How can you keep complaining about how only 52% of Vermont kids can read a ninth grade level when only 48% of adults can? The kids are smarter, except in your neck of the woods https://education.vermont.gov/data-and-reporting/vermont-education-dashboard/vermont-education-dashboard-assessment

      FYI- I believe in school choice, my kids went to Catholic Schools, I worked in one before I moved to administration, I know my stuff. VOTERS APPROVE SCHOOL BUDGETS. Read that last one, read it again. Read it again. No more gotcha with the $28k. That is the will of the people, the voters, the ones that approve local school budgets. You seem confused on how that works, so I’ll break that down too.

      So like I said, answer these for me and I’ll cover all the topics from Hunters laptop, to Ashley Babbitt (traitor), property appraisals, ponys, storm clouds, anything you can think of to change the conversation of Donald Trump clearly telling us that he would rule as a dictator.

    • Chris (whoever you are): Sorry, I missed your retort. Better late than never.

      Re: “I wasn’t even talking to you,….”

      Really? I was responding to your blanket accusation that “if any of you could engage with me without going straight to name calling,..”, etc., etc.. Being in the cohort of ‘anyone’, I asked you some questions instead of calling you a name. So, let’s review your position.

      If Trump wasn’t a dictator first time around, how could he be so in his second term? Explain how that works. In my opinion, Trump’s remark to Hannity was as facetious as the question he was asked. ‘Dictator for a day’. ‘Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my……’ But don’t you dare discuss his policies.

      I never asked you if you liked Joe Biden. I asked about Biden’s policies.

      I never asked you about Phil Scott either.

      Re: “1) What did Eric Trump mean…”. I don’t know. The only reference I’ve seen to this alleged remark in 2014 comes from a reporter from the Hill. It’s hearsay that’s been rehashed by Vanity Fair and others. Eric Trump denies having said the remark. That you want to believe the folks who promoted the Russia Collusion Hoax is your business.

      2) Why did Trump sell a mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million dollars to a Russian oligarch that was never lived in and was later torn down?

      Good question. This is a deal that happened when? In 2008. Apparently, the Russian believed the property was worth $95 Million. Meanwhile, the NY AG, charging Trump with inflating his property values, has appraised Mar-a-Lago at only $18 Million. Doesn’t make any sense at all, does it?

      3) “Hunter’s faux laptop ….. “ You too? You still don’t think the Hunter laptop exists either? The FBI admits its real.

      If Jared Kushner did something wrong, bust him.

      4) How can you reconcile the fact that you are so concerned about national security when Cheeto Mussolini was charged with 32 felony counts of violating the Espionage Act?

      What was that again, about name-calling? Oh, and what does my concern that the southern border has thousands of undocumented people from all over the world coming into the U.S. have to do with the allegations of Trump’ document case? In a word. Nothing.

      5) How can you keep complaining about how only 52% of Vermont kids can read …

      Easy, I just keep complaining. What’s your point?

      Re: VOTERS APPROVE SCHOOL BUDGETS.

      First, the $28K per student budget hasn’t passed yet. But you are absolutely correct. Voters pass these budgets and have no one but themselves to blame. I’ve never said otherwise.

      Re: “So like I said, answer these for me and I’ll cover all the topics from…”

      OK. Go for it.

  22. do not worry the banking problem will go away i know you all like inflation and i am not talking about your tires did you know that slick willy sorrel and the council slapped our franklin county sheriff for playing football with a prisoner more to this will come out slick willy sorrel ha ha ha what a joke

  23. To: Phil Scott the 1st Eunuch King of the Castrati. This is why you will see Trump the next President of the United States.

    “The people that voted for Trump are never going to abandon him. I don’t care what Mueller does. I don’t care what the media does. They’re never going to abandon him. Know why? They elected him knowing who he is. And in many cases, they admire who he is. He is the one person standing in the way of them losing their country. In their minds, that’s what’s at stake”. Rush Limbaugh

  24. As bad as it is that Phlinging Phil has exposed his true RINO colors….

    Chris Christie? THE Chris Christie? Chris F’ing Christie?

    I think it’s about time we conservatives started looking for an alternative candidate to Phil Scott… That’s what I think.

  25. Says the guy who voted for the Biden crime gang?? Clearly his judgment is not to be trusted. Governor Scott is not a serious person.

  26. Vote team Trump…only fools and kool aid drinkers believe all the hype against Trump.

    • Then they are idiots. Trump is an idiot looking to ruin the country for his own gain.

  27. Yep. That’s the message I’m getting from the never-Trumpers and the rest of the RINOs.
