9. Not Buying What Tim Scott is Selling

I am not buying the idea that the Democratic Party in Charleston, South Carolina refused to allow Tim Scott to run for the open seat. At most, someone likely jokingly told him to get in line because so many other people were already running on the Democratic side. The "get in line" comment is often used when someone tells another person there are multiple people eager to do the same thing. For example, if I say I want to punch a particular person who is not popular, a likely response will be "get in line". I have never thought that line meant you had to wait your turn; I always thought it meant you are not the only person wanting to do something. From what I have learned doing a small amount of research that is true. Most people seem to believe "get in line" means there are a large amount of people who want to do what you are trying to do.
