Tim Scott's positions on the issues are a horror.

Here's a web page with info on his positions:
https://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Tim_Scott.htm

Here's just one example:
Gun Control
Opposes more gun restrictions. (Sep 2014)
Don't rush to judgment on gun control after school shootings. (Dec 2012)
Second Amendment is cornerstone of our democracy. (Nov 2010)
Voted NO on banning high-capacity magazines of over 10 bullets. (Apr 2013)

COMPARE WITH JOE BIDEN:

You can tell by comparing these two lists of issue positions that Tim Scott is just a third-rate talking point repeater-bot.

on the ticket of TGF or DeSatan or whichever creature gets nominated. He has to be as horrible as the likely nominee or he won't get picked. He probably won't anyhow because he's.. you know...
