Let me make this Pellucidly Clear

[malaise]

Tim Scott is only in this race to peel off African-American voters.

He's a right wing tool and a scumbag.

That is all

[GoCubsGo]

1. He's also angling for Trump's VP spot.

[malaise]

4. That will never happen

and he has neither pride nor shame

[onenote]

16. If he's never going to be a candidate, how will he siphon off any votes?

[onecaliberal]

15. He's black. He will never be anything to trump. Wait until pisswig starts trashing him.

[FalloutShelter]

2. To raise his profile and

Raise his honorarium and speaker fees.
Money grab.

[spooky3]

3. All of the above! Nt

[I_UndergroundPanther]

5. And omg

He is so smarmy too.

[marble falls]

6. He only seconds your notion every single time he opens his mouth. I honestly believe whoever it ...

... is who gets the GOP nod - either he or his VP will be truly abysmal. Not Tangerine Scream or Ron Puddingfingers bad, but plenty bad enough. When the only close to decent GOPer there is is Mitt Romney, well we need to do whatever we can to turn out the vote. When the turnout is big, Democrats win.

7. Unless you are talking about his being the VP of Trump in the general, what do you mean?

Picking off black voters in a Rethug primary is pretty much useless. For starters, here are so few overall to begin with that even getting every one still hets Scott nowhere near Trump.

12. The Slobfather isn't running for anything except from a

prison sentence.
Take that to the bank 😀

[Celerity]

13. Unfortunately we disagree there, sis. He is going to be the Rethug nominee.

[barbaraann]

8. He is SO insulted when's he's called a token Black, but he fits the definition perfectly.

According to Merriam-Webster: Tokenism is the practice of doing something (such as hiring a person who belongs to a minority group) only to prevent criticism and give the appearance that people are being treated fairly.

I wouldn't even know where to start with pointing out GOP racism, it's so pervasive.

9. 👆👆👆

[moondust]

10. Pals with Harlan Crow?

[Ohioboy]

11. You got that right... a tool.

They say Trump is wishing him his best. You know Trump is never going to endorse anyone who he thinks will be able to beat him.

[TwilightZone]

14. He can't peel off votes unless he wins the nomination or is the VP candidate.

Neither of those is likely to happen.

[onenote]

18. +1

[C Moon]

17. Wants to be VP pick, is my guess.

[ancianita]
