I don't know much about him but he did himself no harm here if he's seen as a possible VP pick?

[devere]

No thank you.

[tennmountainman]

We need him in the Senate.

[Just mythoughts]

No

[The_Media_never_lie]

Please, please no. Tim Scott is my disappearing Senator. We need another fighter in waiting, not a Houdini.

[9YearLurker]

That guy is totally compromised mush.

No, thanks.

[toddausauras]

There are a few women who have the stature to be his vp. Much harder to pin an October surprise on a woman. So no to Tim.

Club Moves – Senator Tim Scott Will Endorse Donald Trump Over Nikki Haley

January 19, 2024 | Sundance | 405 Comments

Senator Tim Scott is a professional Republican club member. The New York Times is reporting that Senator Scott plans to endorse former President Donald Trump tonight at a rally in New Hampshire.

Previously, Senator Scott endorsed Lisa Murkowski despite President Trump campaigning for her removal.

As noted, Senator Scott is a DeceptiCon, so his endorsement of President Trump over the naturally aligned DeceptiCon candidate Nikki Haley is somewhat of a surprise.

However, against a backdrop where President Trump is being viewed as almost impossible to beat in the primary and the general election, the club insiders need to position accordingly.

The decision to endorse Trump over Haley will be sold by the media narrative engineers as some kind of betrayal to the former South Carolina governor who appointed Scott to the Senate back in 2012. Senator Scott dropped out of the Republican president primary in November after having taken jabs at Haley but had yet to endorse in the race.

The timing is good to finish off Haley in New Hampshire, her only state of hope. However, let us hope President Trump has not set up a future administrative position for Scott as a result of this endorsement. [Insert Snake Poem Here].

NEW YORK TIMES – Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina will endorse Donald J. Trump on Friday evening at a rally in New Hampshire, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Mr. Scott was traveling to Florida on Friday so that he could fly with Mr. Trump to New Hampshire for the rally, the two people said. His endorsement of Mr. Trump is likely to spur additional discussion of Mr. Scott as a potential running mate for the former president. He is the highest-ranking elected Black Republican in the nation.

Mr. Scott arrived at his decision only recently. After ending his own campaign for president on Nov. 12, he had said he would not endorse “anytime soon.” But he came to the conclusion that Mr. Trump was the best candidate to defeat President Biden, according to one person familiar with his thinking.

The move also pre-positions a strong finality to destroying DeSantis in South Carolina.  President Trump now has South Carolina endorsements from both senators, Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, to combine with the endorsement from South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster.

I give President Trump a lot of credit; he positioned assets against DeceptiCons brilliantly this cycle.  {GO DEEP}👀 !!

Take the endorsement to get rid of Haley, but Tim Scott is bad news overall.

God, I hope not. I’d like to vote for Trump in November. I don’t want Tim Scott a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and I won’t hold my nose to vote for him.

[Macho MAGA Man]

He had nothing but derogatory comments about Trump supporters on January 6. No thanks!

[BrexitBen]

The GOP doesn’t need to check boxes. The Dems have done it the last 4 elections, and it’s proved to be a disaster in each case.

DJT needs to pick someone who is as close in beliefs and drive as he is. If he picks a lightweight, like Tim Scott, the Deep State will be emboldened to “ eliminate “ him, as the criminal media keeps dog-whistling.

[Ge0ffrey]

No.

[FreeReign]

Tim is a nice guy but we need a fighter.

[BrexitBen]

Yeah, Tim Scott proved that he’s just another McConnell yes-man when he endorsed Murkowski.

[Leaning Right]

> There are a few women who have the stature to be his vp. <

Bingo. Trump needs to balance the ticket, and attract the soccer moms. A strong, clever woman might do the trick.

Is that crass identity politics? You bet. It’s also called playing it smart.

“He (Scott) had nothing but derogatory comments about Trump supporters on January 6. No thanks!”

And look at Marsha Blackburn, who actually voted to CONFIRM the stolen on January 6. She had the audacity to show up at a Trump event in NH a day or two ago. She was slobbering about the wonderfulness of Trump, how he must be President, etc., in an interview with John Fredericks.

She NEVER has attempted to apologize for doing it, or explain why she did it. Bitch.

[battletank]

Absolutely no.

Years ago, I would have disagreed with you, but this is what we've come to. The soccer mom contingent of the electorate has an outsized influence on almost all elections now and that's the reality we must deal with. "Strong and clever," yes, but she has to be a likable person across party lines. Being unlikable is what sunk Hillary and a bevy of other female candidates through the years. Voters are less forgiving in this area than they are toward male candidates.

I don’t know enough about him. Trump will be 78 on Inauguration Day, and his VP has a better than normal chance of becoming POTUS during Trump’s term due to his age. I have no idea if Tim Scott is someone I’d want to be president. What’s his position on a border wall? That’d be my first question for anyone who might end up in the Oval Office.

Scott is horrible. Cringeworthy crap on race after St. George Floyd, like Nimrata. And where is Mrs. Scott? Is he a fag like Linda?
