Cooked Crack Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Quote South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is taking steps to run for president, people familiar with his plans said, adding to the stable of Republicans looking to wrest the party mantle from former President Donald Trump. Mr. Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, is testing a message with GOP voters in key early states focused on unity and optimism as some Republicans say it is time to move on from the Trump era. Mr. Trump has announced a bid for president in the 2024 election. Jennifer DeCasper, a Scott senior adviser, said he was “excited to share his vision of hope and opportunity and hear the American people’s response.” What isn’t clear yet, some people close to Mr. Scott acknowledge, is whether the GOP base that enthusiastically embraced Mr. Trump is interested in that message.

Captain Wiggles Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What's Tim Scott done with his time as a Representative and Senator? He had proposed a Criminal Justice Reform Act that was severely lacking and eventually went nowhere. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I've seen him speak, he was talking about Opportunity Zones as part of the Tax Bill of 2017. He was the face of, "See the Republican party isn't racist!" at the GOP 2020 convention as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Goddammit! I'm still cracking up at "Meatball Ron", I guess I'm voting for Trump next time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 It's certainly an improvement on Ron DeSanctimonious. Which was also an improvement over Shutdown Ron. My favorite was his one for Dick Durbin, "Dicky Durbin". Trump really thought hard n longs on that one. 🤭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Nikki Haley is in. Her official launch is tomorrow but today she released a video tweet. Edited February 14, 2023 by 88Comrade2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Now that Nikki has made the jump, expect others to jump in shortly. The Expected Big One, NaziRon won’t get in until after May; when the legislative session is over. Even though Joe is running for reelection and will be the nominee; I still hope someone runs against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Nikki has no shot. I don’t think she even makes it to the primaries next year and will drop out by Thanksgiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and she has no shot, but the fun thing to think about is how Trump will treat her. As I understand it, Haley asked Trump for his permission to run. This really has to make Trump's loyalty calculus finger-painting go haywire. As for the infamous Trump nicknames, I think he will first not consider her worthy of even getting one (and publicly make sure everyone knows that's the reason) and then he'll get bored of that and give her one that involves her first name, Nimrata, to make sure MAGA people understand that she is basically an immigrant and therefore bad. He'll probably also call her "nimrod" as some point because he is very stupid and will think that's clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Florida change the law yet to even allow DeSantis to run for president while he's still governor? I think running in 2028 would be a smarter move for him. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If trump wins in ‘24 he’s not leaving office and won’t make the same mistake last time.

Nah, no semicolons here I don’t know how anyone could think trump would do anything other than reexecute a coup if he was given control again. his mistake was he waited too long last time. He won’t make that mistake again. and since then there’s been plenty of states changing their election laws so that it will be easier next time… Edited February 14, 2023 by tshile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will be top 2 since Cali is a top 2 primary state. Then voters can choose between just them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
