I look at Tim Scott and I see a mark. Not particularly bright, wears naivety like a badge of honor and has old school morals. He's black Mike Pence. Perfectly useful for an orange shit show administration (and a POC! So they totally cannot be called racists now, because they did a thing).
The rub, as I see it, seems he's not particularly popular among
any demographic, especially his own (ex: Mike Pence). But planet magaturd will praise him, they will ride their populism agenda because the orange bag O' shit commands it, and that's pretty much the brass tacks of it.
