We shall see.  Personally, I think Senator Scott would be a better candidate than DeSantis. Does he also fit conveniently into your little box of slurs?  

How is a black man going to win the MAGA white nationalist voters over?

You may as well be supporting Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny for president.

Pretty sure he meant Tim Scott-R-SC who announced a run for President. He is the other 'bachelor' Senator from South Carolina. He has a huge unspent war chest leftover from his recent Senate reelection.

 

 

You are likely 99.999 percent correct. One problem for Scott is that he is a 57 year old  bachelor. Given the anti-gay sentiment among Republicans, how likely is the suspicion the Scott is gay not going to be an issue?

I think the maga fascists would support a black person if they were disgusting enough. For example, Candace Owens. I don't think Scott's problem is being black or single. It's being meh. What is he trying to be? Warmed over Ronald Reagan? There is no market for that.

It's not that black and white.

If a black person supports white nationalist ideology, that's makes them a special asset to the magas.

Yes, they may like having a few token people of colour around, but white nationalists aren’t voting for a black president.

 

Anecdotally - We had two American vendors at our site in 2008 and they were adamant America wasn’t ready for a black president. Racism goes to the bone. These yanks were on par with the ultra racist South Africans we were also blessed to have in our company. They would both be MAGA nutters now.

MAGA is old, uneducated, poor and white - they arent voting a black man president.

Well vice president anyway.

I really don't think Scott's problem is being black.

Stay classy. You obviously refer to the deeply homophobic attacks on Pete Buttigeig by the maga fascists when his family had a child and he took fully legit parental leave for that. Shame on you for posting such garbage.

One person, one vote - deplorable or not, all are equal at the ballot box (even if the deplorable’s have a habit of not accepting the outcome when they lose).

 

Should the MAGA deplorables win - do you think American democracy will survive? (What a sad question to have to ask)

American democracy is not nearly as fragile as some fragile people on the left fear.  It could stand civil war, world war, FDR, and Vietnam.  A couple years of a tv star wont do any harm.

All democracies are incredibly fragile. 
 

The fundamentals of democracy, particularly regular and honest elections, a free media, the rule of law and the rights of minorities, are under attack around the world. Last year was the 12th consecutive one in which the number of countries becoming more free were outnumbered by those becoming less so.

Interesting view on FDR.

 

Almost universally rated the 3rd best president after Lincoln and Washington.

 

MAGA warps the brain I guess.

It's actually the maga fascist party that understands that they must systemically suppress poor, minority, and urban voters to have any chance of winning the presidency again.

Yes but the maga fascists don't actually care about saving democracy. They care only about taking total power (and never letting go) for their perverted ideology of ignorance and hate.

FDR was more a fascist than any current politician. His disgraceful treatment of Japanese Americans alone singles him out for shame.  He was brutal on civil liberties and expanded federal power far beyond what is/was needed.

Realistically, how much chance has a gay, black guy got of being elected by the right wing, especially evangelicals? Obviously I believe none of that should matter but in the real world he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. Meantime, your bigotry is showing.

Tim Scott if gay which is highly doubtful is certainly not out.

Being single doesn't mean you're gay.

He is definitely anti gay though.

What a prize!

Republican U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), who filed paperwork on Friday with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024, kicked off his campaign for the GOP primary with an announcement address Monday morning in Charleston.

The only Black Republican member serving in the Senate, Scott developed a strident anti-LGBTQ record since entering national politics in 2010 with his first election to the House, during which time he told Newsweek homosexuality is a “morally wrong choice, like adultery.”

Today, Scott remains opposed to same-sex marriage, writing on his Senate bio that South Carolinians “have voted overwhelmingly to protect the traditional definition of marriage, and I stand with their decision.”

Probably as much chance as an egomaniacal New York City adulterer.  Evangelicals will swallow their trepidation and vote for whoever they see as protecting their religious rights. 

 

Considering Sen. Scott was ALREADY elected in a fairly religious state, perhaps the bigotry that is showing is yours...

OK, maybe he's just an incel. Being as stupid or if not stupid then perverse as he is would turn any girl off him.

And Buttegieg took 4 weeks leave. Not months. Some might call him a real man for living up to his parental responsibilities. Apparently, you wouldn't.
