Byron York charts possible path for Tim Scott to win RNC nomination
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/22/23 | Julia Johnson

Posted on 05/23/2023 7:26:04 AM PDT by cotton1706

Chief Washington Examiner political correspondent Byron York charted a hypothetical path to the Republican nomination for newly announced 2024 presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

"This is the kind of candidacy that's not just going to burst on the polls and all of a sudden he’ll be in second place next week," York said Monday on Fox News. "It’s the kind of candidacy that you visit Iowa a lot, and good news, good word starts spreading around you.

"They say good things about you and, after a while, you just start rising in the most important first contest," he continued.

Scott will get around 2%, really embarrassing. He’ll get to debate the other 2percenters like Asa and Christie. Christie won’t even be able to fulfill his dream of taking on Trump because he’ll never make it to the big debate.

Sen Scott apparently has too much time and money on his hands.

“Trump will sweep IA, NH, SC, and NV probably with over 50 percent of the vote in each, after which some of the candidates will suspend their campaigns. He may even sweep all 14 states on Super Tuesday. Of course, they say 30 days in politics is a lifetime, and we are still several lifetimes away from any voting.”

I think this is pretty spot on. I live in MA, and I remember the 2016 MA primary and Trump wasn’t expected to do as well as he did in leftist MA because there are A LOT of liberal Republicans here. But he got over 50% of the vote (including 200k plus Democrats who switched parties to vote for him, and I don’t believe these were interlopers). I was at a Trivia night right after that and all the liberals that I played with were in shock. They didn’t expect Trump to do that well or to win the primary at all.

The same thing is going to happen again.

“Has his senate colleague, Goober Grahamnesty jumped on the Tiny Tim train yet?”
***************************************************
No, Goober is on Trump’s SC campaign leadership team. Another great staffing pick by DJT.

Tim Scott is a nice guy, but he is my disappearing Senator. The good thing about him as a candidate, is that I get to see him and know he is still in the world. Tim, where have you been hiding the last few years?

Tim Scott can be found in church Sunday, or at a local gym when he is at home. However, nice guy he is, he is my disappearing RINO Senator. No, thanks. He just is not tough enough to be the President we need.

Along those lines, how can you be a Conservative, and not have grievances?

He’s saying Hope over Grievances

From 2016-2018, the Republicans had the house, the Senate, and the WH — and all they did was Investigate Trump, and that fake Investigation (which Scott was a big proponent) saw to it that the GOP would lose the House.

Not one person was held accountable. To me, it’s hard to make an argument this guy thinks on his feet. He finds a crowd and takes up the rear.

What Tim Scott is best at, is disappearing. He used to have meetings with constituents when he was in Congress. I tried to have a short meeting with my Senator Tim Scott. Could not get past the gatekeepers. Phone meeting would have been ok, too. Not possible. He doesn't represent me and he is unapproachable. Other than that, he is a nice guy.

Right. Scott has no chance of winning. York knows that. An article like this causes him to lose credibility. Do an article explaining his positions. Treat him politely and then move on.
