Did You like Michael Steele, too?
The President of the United States is likely compromised, why the dearth of comments on Joe and Hunter?
Why the lack of Curiosity in the payments to the Bidens?
Great candidate. Too bad he has zero chance. Trump should consider him as VEEP.
There’s a lot of criticism of Tim Scott on Free Republic.
Some critics wonder why he isn’t married.
From what I hear he has a solid conservative voting record. But there are doubts about him in a crowded field dominated by Trump
Listened to most while taking kids to school. Will listen to balance ina bit.
He will quickly be “Larry Elderized” by the media.
He says America isn’t in decline. (I would say we have some trouble spots, but overall agree). That won’t set well with most people here. Gloom, doom and despair. You need the worst of times (or create the perception of it) to stoke the base.
This guy is a RINO, so a NO vote from me.
I like that Republicans welcome Black candidates. Some have had unexceptional qualifications but were brilliant orators with bold positions (Alan Keyes). Some had intriguing backgrounds and proven brilliance, but no experience in politics (Ben Carson). Some just seemed like, “Hey, here’s a Black Republican” (Herman Cain). Scott has more traditional qualifications (Senator), but OTHER than being Black, he’s rather unexceptional: No bold issue stances, no chance to flip a major purple state, no political triumphs (again, OTHER than being black). The quintessential VICE presidential candidate.
You assume that people on FR are racists because they may make critical comments about a black candidate based on his past statements, Congressional behavior, lack of experience, and policy stands? Were we racists when we criticized Obama’s actions and policies too?
Tim supported Lisa Murcowski. He is another Lindsay Graham.
Would I enjoy dinner with him? Well, after his attacks on Trump around lies said about Trump, I would think it would be a heated discussion time.
I like how, despite his initial overreaction to the George Floyd death, Tim Scott later killed his own plan (w Cory Booker) for fake “police reform” that would have crushed policing. Black activists are still furious at him over it.
Talk is what politicians do. Action is what they don’t do. Scott included.
I’ve already heard a Democrat call him “Uncle Tim”. Somehow racist remarks are okay if it’s a Democrat making them.
Palmetto State ping, please.
Perhaps Scott will nevertheless offer something worthwhile. My suggestion would be that he run as the Black Republican candidate of the season with a message of pride, hope, and conservative ideals and policies like school choice and grass-roots empowerment and community development.
Scott should avoid any anti-Trump jabs and focus his attacks on Joe Biden and failed Democratic policies and ideas that destroy hope. Done properly, a Black Republican happy warrior type with a positive and optimistic message would fit with Tim Scott's personality and background and be unusual enough to command attention and respect. Who knows, but that version of Tim Scott may one day be the Republican future.
Watch his actions, not his words. He’s a weak establishment candidate. Just slightly smarter than the phony faux pas machine, Nikki Haley.
What are his words on vote fraud? Because if a president is not willing to fight on that then they are worthless.
Haha. You won’t have to go far to find racist comments about Scott. I’m sure there will be some in this thread!
The Democrats’ view of minorities has not changed one iota since their party was founded ~200 years ago. All tha thas changed is the color of the hoods.
They still regard blacks (especially) as property — their property. They view blacks like Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Ben Carson, the late Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, etc. as stolen property.
