Republican governor of Florida,Rick Scott

Republican Rick Scott is trying to hide his parties label/identity in his campaign commercials. The Republican Governor running for the senate say's Washington is dysfunctional. That "we need fresh thinking and new ideas."
Will we remind him in November, that these changes will only occur if he and his party are put out business after this election?

Although I live in Ohio, we get ads on TV for Mike Kelly running for PA-3rd, and he never once mentions that he's a Republican ...nor does the print in the ad ever put an R after his name. The ad shows him talking to a group of people sort of blue-collar-ish (of course they are all nodding their heads at his "inspired" words) and he's talking about "getting government off our backs" which, to me, is a dead giveaway he's an R! And I can't remember seeing one face of a person of color in the whole ad. Seems like the R's are embarrassed to be associated with Trump and the Republican party, no?

The Florida Republican governor never mentions his party or the dysfunction of his party leader, Donald Trump. In fact, "Republican" isn't in text form anywhere on his propaganda ads.
