[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really have any strong opinions on Tim Scott. I won't vote for any Republican for any office since Trump so I don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about their positions.

But I did find this article on Tim Scott interesting:

[url]https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/05/22/tim-scott-55-things-you-need-to-know-00097711[/url]

And this:

"In 1994, running for a seat on the Charleston County Council while volunteering on the congressional campaign of a young Mark Sanford, Scott was starstruck meeting Jack Kemp and Newt Gingrich at an Elks Lodge. He initially had gone to the local Democratic Party headquarters to express his interest in the seat on the council. “They told me to get in line,” he once told Tim Alberta. So he ran as a Republican — and became in early 1995 the first Black Republican elected to any office in South Carolina since 1902."

To me, this is an indication that he never had any entirely set beliefs about his political principles and that's why so many of his make no sense. He'll take on whatever persona will get him elected, much like his fellow Senator from South Carolina.[/quote]
This is the exact kind of braindead “analysis” I would expect a white Democrat to come up with. If you weren’t a complete partisan, it would occur to you that Tim Scott is what happens when Democrats take Black people for granted and are disrespectful. I hope more of us abandon that party.[/quote]

I think it's more of an example of Tim Scott being pretty ordinary with no actual principles except to stay in office. He didn't care which party he joined as long as he got elected.[/quote]
