Asked if he can support Trump, former Marco Rubio backer Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina answered: “Oh yeah.”

“The country is better off having a Republican in the White House than having a Democrat in the White House,” Scott said. “I’m certain that the center-right construct is better for our country than the far liberal left that we have to contend with. So if you compare the right to left in this campaign it’s very clear that we are in a far better position” supporting Republicans and Trump.

Still, Scott shot speculation from the Capitol Hill press that he could be Trump’s vice president, offering up New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as “highly qualified” candidates for the VP spot. He said he’s had no indication that he is being vetted for the position.

I like Tim Scott a lot. Seems full of common sense and not yet tainted by the DC cesspool.

Had thought he would be top in line for VP until he endorsed someone other than Trump

I like Tim Scott, too. Gov. Nikki Haley, not so much. She seems to be a contemptible lackey for the politically correct crowd.

I'm still wondering why we can remove all Confederate symbols because some white trash moron wearing one kills 20+ innocent black people, then why can't remove all Islamic symbols because more than a dozen Islamic supremacists killed 3000+ Americans on 9-11?
