"Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leaders are warning Rick Scott that his agenda for the GOP could expose the party to unnecessary attacks this fall, a significant intraparty rebuke of the Floridian.
The Senate minority leader, who has declined thus far to release a party agenda, advised Scott at a GOP leadership meeting on Monday afternoon that his 11-point proposal gave Democrats ammunition for millions of dollars of ads in the midterms, according to multiple people briefed on the exchange.
Though he chairs Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, Scott defended himself by saying he released the agenda in his role as a rank-and-file senator, not as a statement of party plans. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, and Scott’s recess-week agenda introduction dominated the discussion.
The exchange between McConnell and his top campaign hand highlights a growing divide in the party as the GOP fights to take the House and Senate, despite their bright electoral prospects. While McConnell prefers to keep the heat on Democrats and make the election a referendum on President Joe Biden, some in the party — not just Scott — believe Republicans need a more affirmative agenda.
The schism played out on into Tuesday at a leadership press conference. Scott exited the event abruptly just before McConnell castigated two of his proposals.
“Let me tell you what will not be a part of our agenda: We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare after five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda,” McConnell said."
Has anything changed? Are GOP incumbents and pretenders running on the Scott Plan?
This article is perfectly fine so far as msm hits go. Mitch and Rick agree on most of the plan; Mitch simply prefers to watch Democrats fail for the time being, Rick wants the plan known and advertised now. Both could be correct.
I’m more in the Rick camp, be positive and give voters a clear guideline. Mitch is wily and sees Democrats coming unglued, so his preference is to let that play out before the elections.
Another thing to bear in mind, this is Mitch’s last term. Rick is 11 years younger and ready to take the torch.

The rest is basically anti-virtue signaling by Scott, playing to the right wing bigotries of the base voters.

Have you checked gas prices in Europe and Canada? It appears that Joe's influence is even greater than you "think."

Why would I give a rats ass about Europe and Canada counselor? Their problems are their problems. You can only take this global community stuff so far. Your boy Joey came up with a lame, half ass solution to try and bail your party out of the problem he helped to create. His only dumbass answer is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I’m sure this post felt smarter when you wrote it. It’s clipped from the DNC messaging boards. Unfortunately it’s catatonically dumb.
Europe produces almost no oil. Everything is imported, then taxed up the wazoo. Hence, expensive.
Canadians pay on average $0.75 more per gallon for gasoline than Americans because of multiple taxes. Hence, expensive.
America is the worlds largest oil producer. We could drive global oil pricing any day. The problem we have is an incompetent, anti-oil administration which can’t message, and when it does message, elects to say that energy companies are ‘price-gouging evil anti-consumer illegal monopolies’, which gets mindlessly repeated by its political adherents, more or less what you did above.
Maybe stop making excuses for the ineptitude?

70% of fuel cost in France is taxes of one sort or another.

Joe must be a God to have so much influence over French tax policy.

Joe is a God among the people who don't bother to keep learning over the course of their lives. It's an interesting little conundrum. Wait for C&S's response; it'll be something like "I don't care about those foreigners...."

Huh?
This is what is done for any President by a well run CoS office. Same for any top executive by a well run administrative staff. You'll also see this practice with a well-run political office.
A President has an enormous number of meetings and appearances per week. Each has a flow and protocol specific to that particular meeting or appearance. They are not ad hoc, off the cuff, or at least certainly should not be. There's no way that a President who wants to be organized and productive (rather than spending his mornings watching TV) can recall each appearance's flow and protocol without notes.
This is about competent organizational support.
It's really dumb-headed to try to stretch this into a critique of mental competence or ""who is running our country", which you undoubtedly got from your social media feed. Actually, it's worse than dumb-headed, this is on-purpose partisan disinformation. Don't buy into it, youth.
I think there's plenty of reason why it's appropriate to be concerned about anyone in this age group having the mental and physical agility and stamina for the arguably hardest job in the world, but no need to make sh-t up.

nope, but I'm not a high powered CEO in a large, well run public organization, nor am I POTUS...I assume you aren't either.
This is typical, not atypical, of a well run CoS office.

want to think it's unusual...it's not, it's a sign of a well-run CoS office for a top executive.
What's much more interesting is when a POTUS makes things up out of whole cloth, ignoring his staff, ignoring his experts, and just spouting pure nonsense...as in the path of the storm fiasco for Trump.

So to you, being a president means you have to be told what to say and do? What other presidents have shared with you their cue cards?
It's no wonder most hated Trump, he was a normal person like you and I as we walk into a meeting, it was not choreographed but about as authentic and transparent (within reason) as can be. More I think about it, it sounds like you and Trump are more alike than you care to admit...maybe that is why do not like him, b/c
we often dislike others that resemble what we dislike of ourselves. IT would also explain your affinity for BIden...b/c he is so very different than you. Now get out of my office, therapy is done for the day.

god, your defense of Biden is ridiculous. How come you can’t simply admit he’s senile? Is it really that difficult?
Heck, I think Trump is senile.
Cheat sheets prepared by staff are one thing, the extent of directing Joe is akin to a nursing home’s notes for a resident.

Trump had the same, though it would be true that he ignored them at times and went off course pretty easily...his ego and laziness got in the way.
But he had those notes on protocol and process prepared for him as well...most POTUS' do. Just a well run office.
