Tim Scott expressed what others in the Republican Party now believe, the impeachment is no longer about the President. It is now about taking over the Senate.
“I believe the Democrat strategy is not to bring more illumination to the case, but to put a bull’s eye on the back of [Sens.] Cory Gardner, [R-Colo.], Joni Ernst, [R-Iowa], Martha McSally, [R-Ariz.], and Thom Tillis, [R-N.C.]. That is the strategy they are using to try to win back the Senate,” Scott said.
The GOP senators he mentioned are facing tough reelection campaigns.
“This is actually not about removing the president, this is about removing enough senators in the Republican Party in order to take control of the Senate and to rebuke the president for the next four years because they’re pretty concerned,” he added.
“And I think they now believe that the American people are now solidly behind President Donald Trump, and their greatest fears are coming true,” he continued, speaking of Democrats.
Scott pointed to the economic impact Trump is having in minority communities.
“Because the fact is that this president has focused on bringing opportunities to the poorest communities in the nation,” the senator explained. “This president has helped bring the minority unemployment rate to record lows for Asians, for African-Americans, for Hispanics. Our nation’s unemployment rate is at 3.5%. Our stock market is going through the ceiling.”
“They are trembling in their boots,” Scott continued. “So the only thing they have focused on their minds today is not President Trump, it is removing senators from office so that they can have control of the United States Senate.”
If they win the Senate, they can destroy the President.

Tim Scott is right on his comment. The Democrats fight against this president is all about to try and destroy his re-election this year and get the majority in the Senate and Congress. That’s their tactics. Besides that, they hate him too.
How can you have a trial without witnesse and how can you depose of witness without their testimony be real what world do these Republicans live in
you are truly a demoncrap…they had their chance and they blew it…are you going to boo hoo when he gets acquitted?
Ever hear of trials dismissed over fake charges? Or does your history begin with Trump?
Ever hear of Schiff blocking witnesses the other side wanted?
Manipulating the weak RINO’s the vulnerable part of the Republican Party.
The vulnerable RINOs were inserted by the Mitch RINO machine. He is to blame. Scott is more concerned about his senate than the 3 year framing of the President. If Mitch loses the senate, it is his fault, he had 3 years to fight this coup, instead, he launched investigations into Trump. He botches most everything, takes no risks, is nothing but an establishment conformist, and is not bright.
