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.

โ€œI believe theย Democrat strategy is not toย bring more illumination to theย case, but to put a bullโ€™s eye onย the back of [Sens.]ย Cory Gardner, [R-Colo.], Joniย Ernst, [R-Iowa], Martha McSally,ย [R-Ariz.], and Thomย Tillis, [R-N.C.].ย That is the strategy they are using to try to win back theย Senate,โ€ Scott said.

The GOP senators he mentioned are facing tough reelection campaigns.

โ€œThis is actually not aboutย removing the president, this isย about removing enough senators in the Republican Partyย in order to take control of theย Senate and to rebuke theย president for the next fourย years because theyโ€™re prettyย concerned,โ€ he added.

โ€œAnd I think theyย nowย believe that the American peopleย are now solidly behind President Donald Trump, and their greatestย fears are coming true,โ€ he continued, speaking of Democrats.

Scott pointed to the economic impact Trump is having in minority communities.

โ€œBecause the fact is that thisย president has focused onย bringing opportunities to theย poorest communities in theย nation,โ€ the senator explained.ย โ€œThis president has helped bringย the minority unemployment rateย to record lows for Asians, forย African-Americans, forย Hispanics. Our nationโ€™s unemployment rateย is at 3.5%.ย Our stock market is goingย through the ceiling.โ€

โ€œThey are trembling in theirย boots,โ€ Scott continued. โ€œSo the only thing theyย have focused on their mindsย today is not President Trump, itย is removing senators from officeย so that they can have control ofย the United States Senate.โ€

If they win the Senate, they can destroy the President.
