South Carolinia Senator Tim Scott has announced his candidacy for president. I personally think that he is the best Republican candidate.

Trump will be the nominee and if he’s not he’s going to run third party and run third party candidates for senate too.

He's a bland unknown who has the personality of French toast. Trump is gonna eat his ass up and spit him back out in 5 seconds before turning back to deliver further blows to Ron DeSantis, while Ron tries to make his "attack trump without attacking trump too much," strategy work

Trump will utterly fail in the primary debate. The other candidates might not have the wide support, but they are all intelligent and good speakers and people will see that all he has to offer is insults and constant complaining about the 2020 election.

Also, I like French toast.

Seems like a solid move, if they won't get rid of the books.

I am funny, but Nationstates is a serious place.

And my goal is to create a decent society for me and my family, if you consider that "un-sensible" then that's just the way it is.

Insults and complaining have been all he really has to offer since 2016. If Republican voters were actually willing to see past that then we wouldn’t be having this discussion

Are liberals anti-science?

Nope.

Conservatives tend to question science more than liberals or moderates. While liberals do have a small history of disagreement with the science, the left has nowadays embraced the consensus of sicence.
