Tim Scott is a McConnell/Graham lackey.
DJT is smart enough to know that.
One of the big difference in today’s selection of a Vice President is that Trump — this time — can choose whoever he wants. Pence was probably a compromise choice to please McConnell who held a lot of marbles back in 2016.
Today, Trump OWNS the Republican Party and the RINOs are a much smaller — but still potent fraction in the Senate especially.
I agree with those who say Trump needs to be pick up the MAGA flag and pick his VP as a likely successor.
