It better be Tim Scott(unless he turns it down). I’m ok with Trey Gowdy as an alternative, although I’d miss his epic rants in the House. Jenny Sanford? Really? She’d be a sympathetic figure and another female Senator(hopefully a reliable conservative one as well). But I think if we’re going for identity politics here, Tim Scott is a far better and more qualified choice.

Most excellent sir, you beat me to it.

Haley has been playing silly games with this, but, certainly she is smart enough to know (right?) that there are only two real options: Trey Gowdy or Tim Scott.

seems like she leaked people she is “considering” to throw a bone to conservatives, but will ultimately go with an old white RINO
