## Article

Tim Scott screamed Jesus on the Dallas convention stage and the whole calm senator thing just detonated in public. He spent years selling even-tempered adult energy, the guy who could stand next to chaos and look like the grown-up, and then Wednesday he thumped his chest with the jacket hanging open like the speech had turned into a contact sport. Scott did not deliver a keynote. The senator delivered a tantrum under convention lights. The composure people pin on him walked off the second that elongated Jeeeeesus yell came out, and what replaced it was a man treating a midterm convention like a permission slip to lose it on purpose. The whole bit reads like a man who got tired of being composed and decided volume could replace a decade of polishing. He wants the serious-senator reputation until the lights hit in Dallas, and then the jacket flies open and the chest-thump arrives like that was always the plan. The yell is still sitting on that stage.
