Biden would beat him.

Trump's ability to get away with being inconsistent and ideologically muddled is a real luxury that no other Republican has.

Rubio probably wins in 2016 if he was the nominee so this is false

[Sumner 1868]

Scab Scott doing his part to show that the "obey or else" mindset of the Carolina's political class has no color bar anymore.

[politicallefty]

Well, going back to at least 1861, South Carolina has never been much for unions.

[DrScholl]

If he had any chance of being the nominee this would end him in a general election. That said, it's easy to be in favor of firing when you have a $175k a year salary with benefits job that will give you a pension after retirement.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

More Republican rejection of rule of law. (Not shocked.) The rest of us need to come to terms with the reality that the GOP is iminical to the continued existence of rule of law in the United States.

[MasterJedi]

Maybe they should just say they’re striking for religious reasons and then he’ll be 100% behind them?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

You swung and missed that ball, Scott. Strike!

Don't forget that he also endorses a 15 week ban and has the charisma of expired tapioca pudding.

[Lief 🗽]

This guy is one of the worst politicians I’ve ever seen. Everything that comes out of his mouth is the most unpopular way to frame the most right-wing policies.

[Nyvin]

He was dead weight in the debate.   Literally the most boring candidate on the floor, I think even Asa had more charisma than Scott.

He's probably doing red meat throwing gigs like this to make up for coming across as a dud earlier.

[GP270watch]

Blue Wall slowly but surely being re-inforced.

[Ferguson97]

Lol, abortion absolutism and anti-union? Dude would be on "loses Ohio to Biden" territory lmao

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

Thr "electable" candidate folks.

There must be a gas leak in South Carolina cause howcome so many of their politicians are so terrible?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Notice that today none of the major candidates said anything of note for Lyndon to twist into a ten minute hate, so he had to latch on to this relatively generic pro-union busting comment from a relatively generic Republican candidate.

Ignoring nearly a hundred year old federal law on the subject isn't exactly just standard Union busting.

But go on. I absolutely love to see conservative tears shed over LL being such unfair meanie to Republicans when in fact he's usually right.

But he also has an extreme burning hatred for every single person who voted for Bernie Sanders, not just "Bernie Bros." He hates every single person who ever supported Bernie and you think I should just overlook that.

You can’t make this claim based on a “probably”

[The Mikado]

This is the sort of thing Republicans campaigned on in 1924, not 2024.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

This guy is one of the worst politicians I’ve ever seen. Everything that comes out of his mouth is the most unpopular way to frame the most right-wing policies.

He's a Black Republican, ensuring that the media gives him ten times the spotlight as other politicians to prove that Republicans aren't racist.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Easy to talk about how Biden would beat him but you underestimate the capacity of voters to simply decide to believe that this isn't actually his position, and in fact the polar opposite is his real position, and he only said this as part of some clever ruse.

[Senator Incitatus]

Trump is officially the most electable Republican.

[Aurelius2]

Lame. Primary voters will tell him "you're fired!" soon enough if he doesn't drop out before then.

The real funny thing is he only has his Senate seat because of affirmative action, probably one of the most blatant examples ever, the previous incumbent resigned in early 2013 to take some lobbyist gig and he got appointed to it despite having only served in the House for a single term and had only been in the South Carolina House for a single term prior to that. So why did he get appointed over the many ambitious Republicans in South Carolina and all the other House members who were no doubt interested with much more tenure? I think it's pretty obvious.
