Phil Scott is not a Trump Republican

All Republicans are trump Republicans, if they want to be or not. He controls the RNC and donors and as a Republican in a state wide office, you either dance to his tune or you don't dance at all.
I have a feeling that unless he endorses TSF that he will likely shut Scott out of the Republican nomination process for a candidate that is only loyal to TSF.
The RNC wants this cycle to be different and is demanding loyalty oaths from Republicans running for office. I've even heard that they have to pay the RNC for its endorsement.
