By this time next year supporting Trump could have cost that firm more than a billion and a half in legal settlements, plus legal fees. If they go back to him they deserve everything he'll do to them.
Think they’ve already said it will be his son Lachlan and it seems like that apple fell very close to the tree.
UAW Files Labor Complaint Against Sen. Tim Scott for Saying “You Strike, You’re Fired.”
“Telling workers they’ll be fired for striking is violating federal labor law, and that’s not something becoming of a senator.”

The complaint accuses Scott of violating the section of the NLRA that lays out employees rights to participate in labor actions: “Within the past six months, the employer has interfered with, restrained, or coerced employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the Act. On Monday September 18, 2023 Tim Scott threatened employees with adverse consequences if they engage in protected, concerted activity by publicly responding to a question about striking workers as follows: ‘You strike, you’re fired.’”
The complaint was filed against Scott in his capacity as a representative for Tim Scott for America. In addition to being a senator representing the state of South Carolina, Scott is running for president, making him an employer as well. The premise of the complaint is that Scott’s comments could be construed as a direct threat against his campaign staffers, whose right to strike is enshrined in federal law.
Scott’s comments appear to violate those laws, said Benjamin Sachs, a professor of labor law at Harvard University. “A statement as direct as ‘if you strike your fired’ is textbook unfair labor practice language because workers can’t be fired for striking,” Sachs told The Intercept. “If a reasonable employee could interpret the statement as ‘if I strike, I’m fired,’ then it is without a doubt an unfair labor practice violation.”

Am interested in trying to figure out who this hurts more. He casts himself as some "centrist independent thinker" (=code word for fence-sitting "rhymes-with-runt, and is also absolutely stupid in dangerous, child-killing ways), so he is likely to pull the left and independent anti-vaxx voters, but also draw from Trump voters? I suspect this will hurt no one, and as 2024 unfolds and he'll end his campaign and do some weak-ass endorsements of soft-right candidates while not really endorsing any Democrat, despite his family's history. It is possible, as he digresses further into cognitive insecurity, that he might also come to endorse Trump (??).
Agree that it likely won’t have much real impact, not even sure how many states he’ll be listed as an option, although in theory it would hurt Trump more
But wouldn’t entirely rule out a Trump endorsement

So far it looks as though democracy and law are doing what they’re supposed to in the USA, frustratingly slow as the process is. Trump has had numerous pre trial decisions go against him and there have been lots of convictions for his supporters. Once the field for Republican nominee clears a little and if he’s found guilty then polling data will hopefully change.
