It would really be great if Gowdy would quit playing media whore and do his job.
Every other member of the South Carolina Congressional delegation is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, Gowdy included, why should I believe that Tim Scott is not?
Square from Squaresville. Low energy. Pass.
We all knew Gowdy was a compromised jerk—but this is pathetic.
And no, Scott isn’t presidential material.
I’ve got news for Pointy Head: no one gives a damn that somebody had a granddaddy who couldn’t read. It didn’t help John Edwards and it didn’t help Kasich. Those days are over.
What kind of hairdo did the fag have on tv?
This guy is off-the-wall stupid. Happy to see him leaving the Congress.
I would to see Nunes run. He’s a fighter.
Tim Scott?
No thanks!
Ok so I appreciate everything Gowdy Doody has done, but he needs to get all the way inside the Trump Train.
Says Wordy Gowdy.
Im sure hes been thoroughly vetted and has the leadership skill to run the free world ... right?
Thinking of Herman Cain and Ben Carson
( crickets)
NO.After scott coming out against the judge that did it for me.
I don’t picture Scott as a sharp knife in the drawer, more like a butter knife.
I don't know enough about him. Back in 1996, I was trying to talk anyone who would listen into supporting a black guy on the Republican ticket because I knew he would win massive. (We would have done it First!) Now i'm not ready to jump on that bandwagon unless the guy is really good.
Is Tim Scott really good, as in Trump level good?
If so, i'm down with it.
No more black presidents. They simply cannot represent all the people. Tim Scott who I like has already caved a couple of times.
why, because he’s black with a R after his name?
And I would love to not vote for him.
I also would love Tim Scott to run to run for President.
But Nikki Haley is from SC also. And she has the executive, domestic and foreign policy experience... and she is a far more dynamic, charismatic personality than thoughtful Tim Scott.... nice guy Mike Pence.
After Trump, Nikki Haley is the strongest national candidate the Republicans have.
Here’s my take on Gowdy FWIW. It’s been clear for a while, that Gowdy is and has been a swamp critter all along. He’s very good at saying all the right things and getting nothing done (or worse). Think Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan as examples. They’re performers, and Gowdy was a good performer, but at some point the disconnect between words and actions becomes impossible to hide. Then the Jig is up.
I’ve heard it said that as much as 70% of Congress is compromised in some way - either criminal misconduct or personal blackmail (i.e. not illegal but embarrassing) or both. Whatever the actual number, it’s clearly a significant percent. For the last 6 months Q has been telling people to watch the resignations and that there are no coincidences. Keep that in mind when trying to make sense of all the recent resignations.
The basic outline of the resignations is this. Someone on Trump’s team sits the individual down, shows them the information they have on them, then gives them a choice. We will either pursue this matter or you can choose to resign. It’s a pretty clear choice for most. Think Chaffetz. As part of the deal signed by both parties, the terms are kept confidential and only revealed if one party breaches the agreement.
Now compare Chaffetz post resignation behavior with Gowdy’s. Chaffetz had been obstructing Trump’s agenda, (was he being blackmailed?) but once he was freed, he’s acted in good faith. Compare that with Gowdy. He’s bowed out because he had no choice but is now going against at least the intent of whatever confidentiality agreement he signed. He continues to make subtle digs at Trump and play the holier than thou victim routine rather than being grateful for the break he was offered. Gowdy has no honor.
