Gowdy: ‘I Would Love for Tim Scott to Run for President’
breitbart ^ | TRENT BAKER

Posted on 04/06/2018 2:55:09 PM PDT by davikkm

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) threw fellow GOP South Carolina Congressman Tim Scott’s name out as a future presidential candidate.

“I would love Tim Scott to run for president,” Gowdy stated. “Whether it’s 2024, whenever it fits his heart, but he has a cheery, optimistic brand of conservatism that I think our country would benefit from and, quite frankly, whether he won or not, our country would be better off hearing someone with his life story, the grandson of man who couldn’t read, picked cotton, then he grew up to pick out a seat in the United States House of Representatives. That’s a story I wish my fellow citizens could hear.”

Not reading that canned response because I never accused him of having more power than he has.

He is a loudmouth who has taken the side of the unconstitutional special counsel on more than one occasion.

You need to stop wasting your time Trey. Everybody knows a rat when they see one and even David Attenborough hates them.

I haven’t seen any honorable Behavior. Just a lot of self-aggrandizing and backstabbing

“Please share with us Mr. Constitution what should he have done that he didn’t already do?”

I usually don’t feed the trolls but I’ll make an exception this time because the issue hits close to home.
Gowdy led the Benghazi investigation. To date, has anyone been held accountable?

That was my response and not canned.

But wait a minute if you state that because Gowdy says positive things about the SP showing the public, to have confidence in its rule of law is taking sides then surely you must apply the same litmus test to our very own President and surely you have the same issue with him as well still keeping this SP employed? Is our President a loudmouth as well?

I’ll wait for this one

All that means nothing when it came out supporting the special counsel repeatedly. The special counsel is part of a sedition effort. That’s obvious to every halfway awake person. But Gowdy doesn’t seem to have a clue.

Re: If Gowdy had been the director of the FBI I have no doubt that Hillary would be in jail...

Sorry, I will never believe that.

The GOP has always had a critical shortage of political street fighters.

On the other side, our political opponents are fanatically committed.

Bottom Line...

The GOP cannot win a political knife fight with rolled up copies of the U.S. Constitution.

Maybe you’d be better off barking up the correct tree and that’d be this administration and its DOJ. I know that’s not so chique in a populist movement though as it may weaken “the cause”

A congressional committee can submit a criminal referral to DOJ. Did Gowdy’s committee do this?

I don’t picture Scott as a sharp knife in the drawer, more like a butter knife.

They have dirt on Gowdy and he needs to shut the hell up. He loves to say something good to set up a good back stab hours later.

Gowdy: ‘I Would Love for Tim Scott to Run for President’

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.
