Repug Sen. Tim Scott suspends presidential campaign

May 2024 · 10 minute read

“I love America more today than I did on May 22. But when I go back to Iowa, it will not be as a presidential candidate. I am suspending my campaign,” he said.

I guess the pressures of having a new girlfriend proved to be too hot to handle.

Ssssssss...

“Tim ran an optimistic, hopeful message — but that’s not where the Republican base is right now,” a GOP official who supported Scott told CNN.

Burgum, the North Dakota governor, has got to be getting ready to pull the plug. Even in that state, his campaign's seen as a laughing stock.

Uncle Tim is a joke. It's bad enough that a black man joins a party which actively works against the interests of black people.

But he turns out to be a closeted gay man too, again, supporting a party which actively works against the interests of LGBT people.

My contempt for this guy knows no bounds. He also never had a chance in hell of being the nominee. This was all about self promotion, to get his name in the media.

I think I've found the reason - here's how much his campaign was burning money:

[quote]Scott’s third quarter fundraising showed a high burn rate — his campaign itself brought in about $4.6 million but spent close to $12.4 million, though his campaign benefited from kicking off his presidential run with $22 million in the bank given his past fundraising while serving in the Senate.

Inb4 the VP-pusher - Trump will likely pick his VP a few months before the election next Nov so Scott would ideally want to keep his profile up for longer and to get attention if that was the case.

No offence, but he seemed a bit slow on the draw during the debates. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump picked him as VP, he'll never upstage him in any way whatsoever.

Politico says it was sudden and that his staff were shocked.

[quote]The news came as a shock to his own staff. Multiple campaign staff members confirmed to POLITICO that they had no prior knowledge of Scott’s decision before he did so on live television.

Having to hold Mindy's hand was too much trauma for Tim.

Not if Trump has already told Scott he plans to pick him as his VP.

Not that I think that's likely, but I wouldn't rule him out as a VP choice.

Like you said, highly unlikely this happened. Not one of these dunces threatens Trump in the polls, so he doesn't need to do any backroom dealings with them (just yet). He holds all the cards in his own party right now and the best they can do is hope some crumbs fall out of his orange ass their way as we get closer to the GOP convention.

Joe Biden may be old, but he is not senile. tRump, on the other hand, is both old and senile. And the Repukes do not care, they will make this criminal their nominee. He will lose to Joe Biden, because Democrats, Independents, and the few remaining sane Repubs will not allow this so-called “president” be returned to the office that he previously occupied.

Scott may very well be a top choice for Trump's VIP pick. Trump DOESN'T WANT anyone: Independent-Minded, Strong-Willed, Intellectual, Honorable, Authentic, and ready to stand up for the Constitution (and especially the Bill of Rights).

Tim Scott is the perfect candidate.

The Mail has a story about the gf:

[quote]EXCLUSIVE: Republican dropout Tim Scott's new girlfriend Mindy Noce and her ex-husband Peter were sued over $1.2million 'shell and sham' scheme involving their company Bravas Partners in 2017. Unearthed court filings obtained by DailyMail.com reveal Mindy Noce and ex-husband Peter 'Jay' Noce were sued over their company Bravas Partners in 2017. That same year, she was undergoing divorce proceedings, accusing her ex of destroying their marriage with his heavy drinking and opioid abuse. The murky financial past of GOP dropout Tim Scott's new girlfriend has been laid bare in court papers unearthed exclusively by DailyMail.com. Mindy Noce, 47, was accused of helping tech entrepreneur ex-husband Peter 'Jay' Noce create shell companies to hide their assets and avoid liability over a $1.2million deal gone wrong, according to documents filed in 2017.

They have some pap pictures of her getting coffee - but unsurprisingly with no sign of Tim.

I don't think murky money issues is enough to suspend a campaign. I think the real reason was dire polling plus a high burn rate of campaign funds. But the Mail digging around for dirt can't have helped.

Too bad the media generally views it as unethical to out people.
