Tim Scott Takes Himself Out of the Race

Egads.

Perhaps Tim Scott realized that he's going nowhere and decided to commit hara-kiri.  There's no other excuse for saying something this stupid.

...During a campaign event in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Scott invoked former President Ronald Reagan to suggest firing members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) who are currently on strike against the Big Three as contract negotiations have yet to net an outcome.

When asked if he would insert himself into a labor dispute, Scott said, “I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike. You strike, you’re fired. A simple concept to me.”...

Reagan fired people whose strike presented a clear and present danger to Americans:  air traffic controllers employed by the FAA.

Not having a shiny new Colorado truck is NOT a 'clear and present danger' to Americans, Tim.
