During a conversation with a room full of Republicans, Navarro said if Trump were the GOP presidential nominee she would be in a corner, curled into a ball and sucking her thumb after she dipped it in whiskey. Asked who sheā€™d vote for in a matchup between Trump and Hillary Clinton, Navarro responded with ā€œdeez nuts.ā€ And thatā€™s the sort of no-nonsense banter Navarro is known for. Sheā€™s…

in 2017/Top Headlines by

His support in four recent polls all had Trump in first place, ranging from a low of 21 percent in the Bloomberg poll to 26 percent in both the Fox poll and the Monmouth University poll.

Rick Scott at odds again with fellow Republicans

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

Just six months ago, Gov. Rick Scott stood onstage outside the state Capitol basking in his hard-fought victory as he began his second term. Scott boldly proclaimed in his inaugural address that the campaign was over, and while there would be “robust debates on the best direction for Florida” that “we should not let partisan politics, or any politics for that matter, get in our way.” But that’s not been the case for the Republican governor who has grown isolated…
