No, not their incompetent, dithering governor - although he certainly qualifies as such.

TALLAHASSEE — The staggering unemployment exploding on President Donald Trump’s watch would worry any incumbent running for reelection, but troubles in Florida are injecting an added dose of fear into a jittery GOP.​
Already anxious about Trump’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state, Republicans now are dealing with thousands of unemployed workers unable to navigate the Florida system to apply for help. And the blowback is directed straight at Trump’s top allies in the state, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott.​
Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.​
“It’s a sh-- sandwich, and it was designed that way by Scott,” said one DeSantis advisor. “It wasn’t about saving money. It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the governor something to brag about.”​
Republican Party of Florida chairman Joe Gruters was more succinct: “$77 million? Someone should go to jail over that.”​
With hundreds of thousands of Floridians out of work, the state’s overwhelmed system is making it nearly impossible for many people to even get in line for benefits.​
After a record number of claims were reported Thursday, DeSantis said the state would resort to paper applications, build a mobile app to handle the flood of traffic and deploy hundreds, even thousands, of state workers to provide stopgap help.​

 
Politico. Nuff said.

IOW, Ol' Scott left a mess and nobody saw this coming.

Told y'all he's pretty grafty. He ain't the worst, but he ain't the best, either.

He's no Bob Graham or Lawton Chiles, that's for sure. Back when some Democrats actually were good Americans.
There was a time such as that.

yeah apparently Trump created this covid-19 virus. On January 31st Trump declared a national public health emergency which opened up assistance and funding to the States from the federal government

The individual states have a lot of power to Institute precautions an issue instructions to businesses and their citizens. The federal government cannot do that. State and local governments can cancel public events, close businesses, and issue local restrictions.

If the cities and states want to sit on their hands and just wait for the president to tell them what to do, that's their fault. If states are ignoring any unique circumstances within their states that need to be addressed, then the problem lies with the inaction by Governors is not Donald Trump's fault

:sniff sniff: I smell kickbacks and graftery!

It was already known that Scott's like that. He's a "good ol' boy."

This has nothing to do with Trump, though. The way the OP is framed is fail! :eusa_liar:

OP and the media push people to stay at home and become unemployed..then blame Trump. Then Rick Scott leaves a mess Desantis has to fix, and he is doing a fine job..which has nothing to do with Trump, but that doesn't stop OP from flinging poo, no sir!

Can you see now people? They want the unemployment to use as a cudgel, they don't care about the disease, they want to create the unemployment.

Blue Hairs? LoL - My ex used to refer to Blue Hairs .. that was the first time I'd heard the term. So TRUE though - What do they see in the "bluing" thing anyway?? :D I have done some research, but they didn't stop making the product. There was a sweet lil ol' Blue Hair in front of me counting change at the grocery store a couple of days ago!

WHERE DOES THE PHRASE “BLUE HAIRED LADIES” OR “BLUE HAIRS” TO DESCRIBE PRIM AND PROPER OLDER WOMAN COME FROM?

The Queen Mother was a blue haired lady

No, you weren’t born so late that you missed a time period in which senior citizens dyed their hair strange, shocking, or unnatural characters like they were punk rockers or Marge Simpson. From the 1930s through to about the mid-1970s (or so), it was common to see women with silver hair streaked or dotted with blue.

The product used was called a blue rinse, a dilute hair dye. Brands like Roux and Fanci-Full promised to turn gray or white hair, which can often adopt an undesirable yellow hue, into something more attractive. If it was done correctly, it gave graying hair a distinguished silvery tint, something close to the platinum blonde color of classic Hollywood movie stars like Jean Harlow. It was also favored by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. When applied poorly, as it was often done, it turned hair blue, purple, or bluish purple.

The phrase isn’t as well known in the U.S. anymore, or for the last 30 years or so, with the widespread use of more effective hair dyes that give formerly white or graying hair a more natural brown, black, or blonde appearance. In England, however, the phrase “blue hairs” isn’t used in favor of “blue rinse brigade.” While few older English people still have blue hair, it’s a “dyed in the wool” reference (pun intended), and a negative one at that, to describe older, middle-class conservatives…and it’s not the least bit affectionate. If it’s used, it’s meant to ridicule older people for their out-of-date values as well as their cosmetic choices. The last chain in the Western world to carry blue rinses was Asda, and it stopped selling them in 2006 due to low demand.
