“Tim Scott is a Threat”

No, he’s not - he’s already got too much baggage, including some tribalism (cannot remember what issue, but it did happen, at least once). This is simply another attempt by the pro-war bunch to get us away from Trump by making us think that Tim has a serious chance of winning.

Nice try, though.

He was another unAmerican foney commie opportunist useful willing tool.

The left is simply securing their black flank because they lost a bit more of it than they were comfortable with in 2020.

“You’re upset that Scott endorsed a Senator who has won 3 state-wide elections?”

Yes!!!!!!

It shows what side he’s on, and shows that he can be talked into endorsing the most liberal member of the Republican caucus. And that when push comes to shove, he won’t support conservatism. He’s a phony.

Murkowski is the worst of the worst. And Scott endorsed her reelection. And why? Because she’s an incumbent “Republican”.

Erick Erickson...per wiki...

“Erickson described Trump as “a racist” and “a fascist”, and insisted, “I will not vote for Donald Trump. Ever.”[31] In February 2019, Erickson endorsed Trump for re-election in the 2020 presidential election.[32]”

Sounds like your fight is with the voters of Alaska, not with Scott.

I really don’t seen any of these clowns out for Trump, and in fact they’re all working over time to defeat him.

WHO SHOULD TRUMP PICK FOR HIS AG, THIS TIME AROUND?

Obama was not eligible, because his mother was too young under the law at that time to pass on her citizenship at his birth. The law was later changed, but not retroactively.

My guess is that Barack Obama has never been a US citizen. He didn’t acquire citizenship at birth, and was never naturalized.

Obama was not eligible but he was sworn in anyway.

Still don’t understand that.

No. Scott is running for president. And I remind people who he really is, and where his REAL loyalties lie. He endorsed a LIBERAL Republican over a CONSERVATIVE Republican.

Why on earth would anybody think if he got into the presidency, that he would support conservatism?

No mention of his father, a married Kenyan Islamist who practices polygamy, and clearly was not a US citizen, not subject to US jurisdiction as a citizen when Barak was born. because he was here on a visa.

"He endorsed a LIBERAL Republican over a CONSERVATIVE Republican."

I have a different opinion. I believe Scott endorsed the candidate who could WIN as opposed to the candidate who would LOSE. Political parties exist to win elections. That's it. That's their only function.

I don't care who I agree with, I care about who can WIN a general election. Could Scott defeat Biden? Possibly. Who he endorsed in an Alaskan Senate race is immaterial to Scott running for President. He endorsed the only Republican candidate who could win the election. That's a smart thing to do.

“Barack Obama has never been a US citizen”

Which is one of the main reasons why we never saw his transcripts from Occidental College or Columbia U. I would bet he enrolled as a foreign student. Most likely Indonesian. Keep in mind his mother married an Indonesian national. They went and lived there for a short time. He admits to visiting Pakistan at a time when US citizen was not allowed to go there. Again, to be a good little Muslim. Just like he told George Snuffaloppogus.

Well, I’ve heard that Tim Scott has a strong conservative voting record. I have not researched his entire voting record, so can’t say for sure. But his record in public office would give us indicators of whether he supports conservative values. As we all research the candidates positions, we will all learn more about them.

Someone else suggested he endorsed Murkowski because she could win, and the other Republican candidate was a sure loser. We don’t know everything that happens behind the scenes, when politicians make deals on endorsements and gaining votes on legislation.

He has a Conservative Review Liberty score of 77%, or a C.

He’s a milquetoast conservative.
