Not suddenly and who’s talking about him worshipfully? That sounds pretty snobby. He’s a very qualified guy who proved himself for years. Even I knew who he was in 2020. He and Brandon Straka were forces to be reckoned with. I would say people are happy, not worshipping, that a qualified person got hired by the RNC for a chance.

When hard workers like Scott think of themselves as “messiahs” that’s the thing. Those calling him one or not means nothing. For some, the glass is entirely empty all the time. Nothing passes their level of scrutiny. It’s rampant around here, although they have the right to say it I don’t have to read it or succumb to it. Carry on, everyone.

True. For what I have heard from him, he’s a humble, gentle soul. I haven’t seen the narcissism required to think of self that way.

Yup. We need more like him. He’s a man with a mission. He doesn’t consider himself a messiah and I don’t either. Humble people will save the day.

That's exactly what he is.

Dam, such thin-skinned replies (only some) to my skepticism...It's why i said UP FRONT that this is a new (within past week or 2) revelation to me...I'm all in favor of grassroots regular people taking the wheel from "experts" and do-nothings who pretend they have it all worked out already. Pressler has my admiration if he's all that he's made to be; I've been trying with zero luck some of his strategies in a red county--yet only since 2021. Count me in as a fan but not ready to buy a jersey with his name and number on it yet, all this replying to my query is EXACTLY what i wanted from you fellow C&Cers, thank you! True and powerful engaged Populism will restore the Ruined Rep Party and the Nation if we can implement it, Team Pressler! (unless proven otherwise)

Thanks for mentioning Brandon Straka, I was trying to think of his name. He was an up and coming smart young man for the right and the left has done its best to destroy him.

I really like him. What happened to him was a shame. No surprise the DNC went after him. That the GOP establishment left him to the wolves shows they are alike in many ways. Tucker did an excellent interview with him, in which he (Brandon) talks about how he was left to the wolves. He is still doing Walkaway, after a long pause. I don’t do social media much, or hardly, so I only get an occasional email update. I hope he continues kicking butt.

The GOP did the same to Milo, what, 4 years ago? CPAC uninvited him as speaker.

Like i said, i live under a rock but am inclined to duplicate his work as that's our calling as decent and engaged people and citizens who refuse to forsake our birthright
