Tim Scott’s afloat speech:

Two thoughts travel to mind.  First, should this feline moreover beryllium successful nan Senate?  9.99% of Americans person ne'er thought of Tim Scott before, and this is nan belief that he voluntarily sent to nan nation.  Secondly, Tim Scott should beryllium thanking nan Writers Guild for being connected onslaught correct now because otherwise, he would beryllium torched by each late-night talk show, comedian, and sketch show connected television.

Scott tried to activity nan evangelical angle, but he came disconnected arsenic an over-the-top parody.

There person been bad statesmanlike run launches.  Donald Trump was mocked for nan escalator ride, but that what instantly forgotten erstwhile he called Mexican immigrants rapists. Candidates are often clunky and awkward because they are stepping onto nan biggest nationalist stage.

Sen. Scott took cringeworthy weirdness to a full different place.

The bully news for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is that nan barroom is really debased erstwhile he announces his statesmanlike run this week. As agelong arsenic personification tin programme Robot Ron to replicate quality behavior, he’ll look for illustration Ronald Reagan connected nan run way adjacent to Tim Scott.

If this is what nan 2024 Republican superior run is going to look like, buckle up for a full batch of weirdness.
