Tim Scott? Seriously these liberals have got to stop

 

The liberal site Politico is promote the candidacy of Senator Tim Scott to run as the Republican candidate for President in 2024. From the Politico post:

Republican Sen. Tim Scott boarded a plane to Hawaii earlier this year to meet with one of the richest people in the world: Tech titan Larry Ellison. Since last October, Ellison has contributed $10 million to an outside group aligned with the senator — a huge sum even in the super PAC era and the business owner’s biggest known contribution in three decades as a political donor.


The pro-Scott super PAC, Opportunity Matters Fund, has drawn support from conservative donors like Richard Gaby, who has bankrolled the likes of former President Donald Trump and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. But Scott has also received backing from the party’s mainstream givers, like New York hedge fund manager Dan Loeb, a financier of gay rights initiatives who is slated to host a fundraiser bolstering Scott later this year.

With the top levels of the GOP divided over whether to remain in lockstep with Trump or break away from him, senior Republicans say Scott’s ability to win support from divergent wings of the party could be an asset should he wage a 2024 run.

Bay Area-based investor Bill Oberndorf, who has given millions of dollars to Republican causes over the years and opposed Trump’s nomination in 2016, called Scott “that rare politician who you can trust to be good to his word.”

Ultra liberal commenters and blogs and newspapers love to pick the Republican candidates. You know the ones that will be failures and kowtow to the Democrats even if they win election. Tim Scott is Mitt Romney with a suntan. He never really supported President Trump. He is part of the Beltway corruption that gives in toe the demands of the Deep State. You might as well run Lindsey Graham or Marco Rubio. The Democrats are worried. Harris is a bust and Biden will never be able to run again. They are out of amiable old white men then can trot out as cover for their radical socialist agenda. So they will try to stock their opponents with the least objectionable alternative who is sure to go along with them. Tim Scott is one such individual. The good thing about this post is that it reads a comedy so it can be safely ignored.

The question is really if the Republican establishment has realized that the game has changed and we are not going back to being the Washington Generals. Surrender Kabuki theater is over.

Deal with it.

"Jeb Bush looks like he's running for president.

So now we know what the Bush family means by 'no child left behind.'"
Dianne Feinstein at a public dinner closed to the press but reported by Politico. Well, it made me laugh. Who knew Dianne Feinstein could be so funny? She could have a career in standup.

It is the sinister switcheroo that makes it so funny. To take a well-known policy of a lesser-liked Bush and apply it as clan motto, to make of the earlier policy a comment that together the family did not make, is slapdash sloppy shorthand and devastatingly funny. Plus the joke sets the cherub-cheeked scion in his place to be regarded, as child.

Is there no respect anymore? R.E.X.P.E.C.T?  Is there no respect for what it takes to be governor?

No, why, no, there is not.

I am not member so have no vote in these people's primary. From my point of view they are in their own contained world. Looking into that world I see Bush III -- that is how the numbering goes with dynasties, right? -- not appreciating the primary forces that are making this opportunity available to him. He is not recognizing the affects that are benefitting him that the more conservative insurrection element that infected his party had on the entire political landscape across the land at all levels. He describes them as outliers, as unappreciative kooks, as groups to be defeated when not ignored. He honestly thinks his wishy-washy melded gigantic government positions prevailed despite all the tea party disruption. And he is for the wrong things, chief among them loose immigration control and federal-level Common Core education. He is not a good listener.

That's the problem that comes with being groomed for destiny, you get to the point where you just flat don't listen.

All that is said much better by Feinstein, Bush III is what the Bush family means by 'no child left behind'. It takes us back to Rome and to Cl-Cl-Cl-Cl-Cl-Claudius.

There are other jokes told at the Alfalfa Club dinner reported on politico.com. It must be a thing where they tell a lot of jokes, like a roast. They are entertainers at heart. Washington really is Hollywood for ugly people.
