If you find yourself asking, ‘what the heck is Senator Tim Scott even exploring’, you are likely not alone. But running for the GOPe nomination in 2024 isn’t really about winning the GOPe nomination in 2024; it’s more about fulfilling the requests of the Sea Island big club billionaires who guide and shape GOPe politics, nothing more.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this effort, because CTH already predicted the purpose, intent and timing of this moment {GO DEEP}. Anyone with a generally solid understanding of GOPe nominations and the timing of South Carolina in the primary can see the big club play. [Tim Scott link]
Nikki Haley and Tim Scott intended to help the Sea Island billionaire confab to stop Donald Trump and create the path for Ron DeSantis. It’s a tag-team splitter ploy, nothing more. That’s why President Trump proactively moved to mitigate the big club move and embraced SC Senator Lindsey Graham and the organization Graham has in the Palmetto state.
Simultaneously, as the billionaire donor class construct their own blank line ballot spacing for the 2024 election [SEE HERE], both Scott and Haley can be considered options for the dark money group behind ‘No Labels’. Essentially No Labels is a billionaire created financial vehicle to pay off a non-Trump candidate and influence 2024.
CURRRENT POLLING – (Winthrop University) – 2024 Republican Nomination for President (Table 10)
Support for Trump’s run for president is high among South Carolina Republicans who are registered to vote. Among nine Republicans who have either announced a 2024 presidential run or who are viewed as potential contenders, Trump is on top with 41%. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Haley are neck-and-neck with 20% and 18% respectively.
Huffmon notes, “Trump is riding high and doubling support over the next candidate in the field. Haley shows more than quadruple her support compared to national polls, but that should be expected on her home turf. While DeSantis is viewed as the singular alternative to Trump in national polls, the real story here is that Haley and DeSantis are in a statistical dead heat in what could be a firewall for Haley when voting rolls around.”
Seven percent of South Carolinians support a presidential nomination for US Senator for South Carolina Tim Scott when presented the list of 9 possibilities. Five percent support former Vice President Mike Pence, 2% support former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and 1% support New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. Others listed were former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Virginian Governor Glenn Youngkin. (link)
Donald Trump is seeing the same GOPe map we are, and he is personally assembling neighborhood allies so that he is not caught without a network in a state that will have two hometown players competing against him. President Trump is leveraging his prior endorsement and support for both Governor McMaster and Lindsey Graham.
Factually, McMaster would not be in place if President Trump did not pull Nikki Haley out of the state and appoint her as U.N. Ambassador, then turn around and support McMaster to fill her spot. Additionally, President Trump has also always kept Graham close, despite the ideological economic policy differences, for exactly this type of leveraged moment. This is political chess, and President Trump can see the GOPe moves.
Now, let’s talk about roles.
Nikki Haley was always going to run in 2024 for the GOP nomination – SEE OUR ARCHIVES – this was never in question. All of her moves were predictable since she left the administration in January 2019. However, Nikki Haley is also not necessarily running for the office of the President. She’s running to be in a power position for the office of the President. In the current construct, she’s positioning to be Ron DeSantis’ vice-presidential candidate pick.
2021: …”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” (link)
A few weeks later: …”Out of respect I would never do anything to go against [Trump], he knows that. I would have a conversation with him and talk to him about it should we decide we want to pursue it; but, um, no, I have a great respect for him and I would never consider running against him.” (link) Video Prompted:
Thus, you see the conniving lying of Nikki Haley. (Anticipate video disappearing)
In the role she has carved out and also accepted, Nikki Haley is going to be the biggest attacker of President Trump on behalf of the management team protecting Ron DeSantis. Nikki has a very specific set of skills, including her willingness to be nasty – that makes her perfect for this role. Haley will be the tip of the spear, providing Ron DeSantis the opportunity to pretend he is just above it all.
Trump also knows DeSantis is pretending, and I have no doubt he can see the role Nikki Haley is positioned to play. Watch Trump continue hitting DeSantis as Haley moves in for cover.
You might remember Trump hitting Xi Jinping of China every time Kim Jong-un of North Korea did a directed by Beijing stupid thing. He’ll do the same thing here. DeSantis in the role of Chairman Xi and Haley in the role of Chairman Kim. Each time Haley does the passive aggressive slaps, Trump will hit DeSantis with something.
Haley has no chance at the nomination. Coastal establishment Republicans love her, but that only means she will have money, not votes. The Republican voting base has seen through her schemes and wind-testing for years. Haley is not stupid, she knows this. Heck, even Liz Cheney polls higher than Nikki Haley.
Haley’s positioning right now is for 2023 power and influence despite her lack of base voter support. The best she can hope to achieve in 2024 is a VP pick to get her in the target zone.
Senator Tim Scott is on a pure GOPe mission. He’s the utility insider, the team player taking the South Carolina field to support the team goal of blocking Trump. Scott is visible diversity, yet ideological alignment with the GOPe Club mission.
Tim Scott’s role is what Tim Scott is good at, being a team player on behalf of the GOPe and giving the South Carolina Republican voters, those who detest Haley, an alternative.
What Marco Rubio was in Florida 2016 for non-Jeb voters, Tim Scott is in 2024 South Carolina for non-Nikki voters.
President Trump has this mapped out in exactly this format. CTH saw this SC Desantis/Haley/Scott alignment forming last year and we said to prepare for a great deal of announcing as soon as the RNC winter meeting concluded…. Which happened, not coincidentally, to conclude at the same time as Trump’s January 28th kick-off in South Carolina. Again, strategery.
On the positive side for Tim Scott, his bestie Trey Gowdy will give him free airtime on the Murdoch network to help stimulate the Sea Island agenda…. So there’s that.
RINO loving, open borders lover Tim Scott who only used PDJT to get what he wants. I can’t stand him. He’s clever enough to use the “conservative” trigger word to gain support.
“Conservative” reminds me of Bush, Ryan, Romney, Fox News, and Warmongers.
And don’t forget the race, he got a lot of milage out of that. Haley didn’t put him in that seat for nothing.
In your dreams Tim
MAGA Trump 2024 all the way to the White House
Suck it up Buttercup
So right off the bat. There is one immediate observation I think we should all be aware of before all the other distractions luring you into another election cycle as if nothing ever happened in 2020 and again in 2022 (slaps upside your head)….
Like all the rest of the wannabe candidates involved in this corrupted democratic process, every single one of them know Trump is the rightful President and that Branden was not elected by the electorate. They do in fact know this……that Branden was installed and President Trump has been in exile ever since. Please keep that in mind whenever you hear any one of these phonies speaking to you.
It does in fact mean they all, by default, are proponents of the new normal election fraud by pretending to be election fraud deniers. This is the foundational reality of it all. This is why we have an illusion of a Conservative Congress distracting you with tick talk investigations designed to go nowhere not related to how we all got here (election fraud).
Also, please keep in mind that every single one of these phonies do in fact know they have no chance at all in defeating Trump just like they had no chance in 2020. So ask yourselves why all the pretending. DeSantis knows about the new normal otherwise he wouldnt even be wasting his time and Jebs money.
Thank you Mass my sentiment exactly
R.D.
All the phony RINO’s also know that who gets the most votes doesn’t matter, the candidate the globalist scum choose will, once again, be installed. Elections are now nothing more than bad tv.
Us voting is one of the biggest reasons why the fraud looks so obvious and the biggest source of evidence exposing it. Must continue to do our part.
This is an excellent summary of the blatant pretentiousness that is running through ALL of the GOPe liars who are collectively trying to create a potential variety of reasons (all false of course) for Trump’s loss in 2024 when they attempt to rig and steal the election once again.
i just love it when sundance write in the weed strategy cause it’s spot on. Also this economic article are fun to read.
Is he running for VP?
These people are all so tedious.
Obnoxious and annoying as well as tedious, talk about your useless eaters.
Honestly, are any Americans going to vote for Scott or Haley, regardless of how much money is spent?
Sometimes I think I’m the last person who remembers that our late Constitution required our president be a “natural born citizen,” NOT just a “citizen.”
In our previous Constitutional Republic no one would even be suggesting a Nikki Haley. (Or Vivek. Or Cruz.)
I think both Nikki and Vivek were born in the US to citizen/immigrant parents. Please correct me, if this is inaccurate.
As I understand it
Her parents were legal immigrants, but not citizens, when she was born. So there was no Natural US citizenship to pass on to her.
Obama’s father was not a citizen. Bridge crossed without a fight.
Obama’s father was a citizen and not the Kenyan touted.
Circumstantial evidence implies Frank Marshall Davis is the one.
More likely is the date of birth is wrong, and the father was someone from before the move to Hawaii. They moved to Hawaii to cover up the unwed pregnancy, with Barack Sr. a convenient legitimizer who gets his immigration status solidified.
Or Jindal, Obama, Rubio, Kamala, ad nauseum.
To his credit Jindal is one of the rare ones that has stayed away, but most likely will be back for talking head moments.
another neocon chickenhawk who is representing about 20% of his constituency with his warmongering.
I finally agree that there should be a third party…..the Opportunist party (O).
They would have more candidates than all the rest.
Tim! Another 2%er for SD’s 2024 Hollwood Squares.
Somebody should do a little dive into the South Carolina Republican Party. It sure spits out the same type of person over and over and over
Sadly, every single state in the union spits out the same type!
EVERY Republican State Party is “led” at the top, by a cabal of wealthy elitists that insure the outcome of elections.
EVERY ONE, and yes that definetly includes FLORIDA.
Az its the “McCain machine” Ohio its the Kasich, Michigam its Davos, etc.
LOOK at who sits on the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES, at the State and County level, and look who sits on County boards of supervisors.
Inevitably it is those with “major business interests”.
Call them “Country club”, “Rockefeller”, “Establishment” or “RINO” Republicans, they all are elitists that hate PDJT and US.
And it is THEY we must defeat, in order to MAGA.
Country club repubs and wannabees….
Start with Drew McKissick. He is the problem.
AMEN!! McKissick is the rinos’ rino!
We need a real political party that will be responsive to the people. The Wall Street plan for putting a blank line on ballots to put their own dark money candidates is another attempt to subvert our system of government by the people.
I’m not sure the Party System serves the US very well. We need something else.
I have posted before that I think Tim “Tin Horn” Scott and Trey Gowdy are an item. I saw Trey interview him somewhere and the chemistry was obvious. He was falling all over himself. It was pathetic.
😂
Trey Gowdy makes me sick.
same as tim scott
Yawn 🥱
I’m getting ready to be called racist. … again.
😏
No problem. I’m also a racist. I think the human race is better than the others (despite much empirical evidence to the contrary).
I still don’t get how there are people in South Carolina who would vote for Nimrata Haley and Tim Scott. It just boggles the mind. I guess it’s the same people who love to wear masks and think that the real Dr. Evil Anthony Fauci is a saint and also still take the Bill Gates approved gene therapies.
How do they vote for Wimsey, Mr. War Whore?
Vanity campaign. Same as Poodle Dog Lindsey ran. Follow the campaign money to understand.
These fako “not campaigns” are just money laundering operations. All of these millions are “spent” on airtime and staff and functions? Yeah right.
Haleys obvious positioning as RDS’s VP, is yet another reason why KL HAS to be PDJT’s VP.
And the reference to PDJT “assembling neighborhood allies” is something he has been engaged in, far outside of just S. Carolina.
And thats WHY the precinctstrategy insurgency, an attack “from the bottom up” is every bit as vital as PDJT’s attack on the RNC, “from the top down”.
And thats why I maintain that those who haughtily declare themselved as “registered Independants” are actually as misguided as those that refuse to vote.
It is abdicating, to the enemy, and dropping their weopons and running away. On the battlefield, desertion is punishable by death, as it should be.
What you are describing are essentially flanking maneuvers simultaneously from the bottom-up and top-down. Happens to be an effective means to box them in and defeat them, if the strategy is well coordinated enough.
Maneuver warfare as adapted to the political arena. They deserve to be annihilated politically, without so much responsibility afforded to them in the future to be entrusted with anything as mundane as pet sitting, ever.
IMHO it is Ron Johnson who should be selected as Trump’s VP candidate. He is one of a very few honest and moral individuals in DC. (If he and one or two others–Clarence Thomas –I don’t know who the other one is, would be out of town, Russia, North Korea, China and maybe Iran could drain the swamp for us) KL needs to win her suit in Arizona and be their governor.
Ron Johnson was one of the Senators who withdrew his objections to the Electoral College results in order to appease the Left in the aftermath of January 6. I don’t trust him at all.
I disagree on your interpretation of his motive. He doesn’t fall on his sword for lost causes. He made the point with the first objection. Then Pelosi rigged the “insurrection” so that emergency rules went in and no objections could be heard.
In war, when the battle goes badly, the wise retreat and live to fight another day. The foolish die for their cause, and often the cause dies with them.
Agreed … And Johnson’s brave exposure of the vax fraud would endear him to many who are on the fence about Trump. And he might be able to bring WI with him.
While KL would be an absolute “eff you” to the establishment in general and RDS in particular, I’m not sure if she would bring much else to the table as VP.
She may be better suited for a Cabinet position, IMO.
Do you subscribe to Seth Keshels Substack? He posted today all the AZ positions for Precinct Committee lacked a filled position. 159 of them in about 14 counties. You would think that in AZ, of all places, people would be lining up for those spots to take their state back.
But … Nope.
Cartel fear.
In the interest of truth in advertising shouldn’t Fox “News” be required to disclose the disclaimer that they (Murdock) hates Trump and has told his talking heads to to block Trump out using all means, truthful and not so much truthful.
If Fox disclosed anything, I’d never know it. They don’t exist to me. Suggest that for all.
And be required to report to the Fed Elections Comm a ‘Political Contribution in Kind’ for $ Millions for all the valuable and expensive Free Air Time they will grant to all the Also Rans,…. but not Candidate Trump??? What say, Murdoch sons?
The fact that he was part of the anti-Trump effort which met secretly at Sea Island to stop Trump tells me all I need to know.
Tim Scott for President & Bubba Wallace for Vice President in 2024 ! “Give us the opportunity to use our Conservative Values to lead the Race against Racism and Stuff … VOTE Scott-Wallace 2024 !”
Is that OK or should we tweak it a bit ?
Dilution is the Solution.
Let’s “explore” the reasons to vote for Tim Scott.
…
Oh look! There aren’t any!
He was very much into the Charlottesville racial stuff
If I remember he scolded President Trump on his rhetoric
The first and second questions that any voter poses to any of these sloppy seconds is this: “Do you believe Joe Biden is the legitimate POTUS yes or no?” “Do you believe President Trump had the election stolen from him yes or no?” Those two questions will end their campaigns.
Which means that those are two questions that will NOT be asked.
Uniparty joke.
its really a waste of their time
because
as Americans get to know them
their rhetoric, their phoniness
they start not liking them
They are receiving a substantial financial incentive/payoff that make it well worth their time.
IMO Scott Adams had it correct in his morning podcast.
(in my words)
There is no rational explanation for democrat behavior other than it’s in the bag for 2024 so be as insane as you wanna be.
All else is chaff
He was a big “Let the FBI do its job” proponent along with his BFF Trey Gowdy during the “Trump-Russia Collusion” psy-op against PDJT and MAGA after he had surmounted their election steal attempt in 2016. Scott was picked by Fabian phoney baloney Nimrada to replace Senator DeMint who was way better than Scott and Fairy Lindsey.
LOL! In the picture with Tim, at first glance, I thought he was standing next to a couple of large hogs!
On second thought, they could be RINOS!
Hey, I’m running for president. Everybody write in “Malatrope”. It’s about time we had a diehard cynic in the Oval Office.
The glass is half empty. I stand ready and willing, for the good of the children, to pour the rest of it on the ground.
Timmy…save your money.
Who is me Mr Scott has as much of a chance as Nikki and I would put money on Scott not being re-elected when his term is up.
If Trump is not elected Hunter Biden will run for president some time down the road and win.
In today’s world I wouldn’t be surprised in the least.
By then he will be claimed innocent of all wrong doings and has a history of foreign dealings and was the son of Joe. He did travel to Ireland on Air Force One to show that he is savvy to his protection of crimes.
Just being sarcastic I hope.
Haley and Scott both in the race help Trump?
Liz Cheney is a No Show now? Imagine that.
Maybe she’s made it official and switched to the Dem side.
Sundance excellently highlighting his detailed spot on analysis of moves and countermoves for 2024.
“Additionally, President Trump has also always kept Graham close, despite the ideological economic policy differences, for exactly this type of leveraged moment. This is political chess, and President Trump can see the GOPe moves.”
With that in mind, we should be asking ourselves whether that’s a good move on Trump’s part.
Forget the 4-D chess argument, for there’s an elephant in the room which can’t be ignored. While we’re being distracted by Team DeSantis’ antics, Lindsey Graham is trying to get amnesty passed in the Senate. Should he succeed, Team DeSantis will be given a golden opportunity to paint Trump as pro-amnesty by association. And since many MAGA conservatives view support for amnesty as one of the absolute worst things any GOP politician can do… you know where this is going.
Bottom line is, I believe Graham is a liability to the Trump campaign, and keeping him close by will do more harm than good in the long run.
Michael Corleone respectfully disagrees about not keeping Graham close. 🙂
The guy openly calls for the assassination of another world leader, and gets away w/it. Just saying.
LMAO!!!!
OOOPS… sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Seriously, he is a YUUUUUGE disappointment. Completely not as advertised.
Edit to add: South Carolina is TRUMP COUNTRY!
No thanks: this guy is a total wuss
Tim Scott is so far up Mitch McConnell’s ass. Enough said.
#WhereisMitch?
Those Georgia Islands are the spawning grounds of some pretty wicked stuff.
Tim Scott is the perfect Southern Gentleman. I wish he would take a stand against the totalitarians, but he won’t. I think he is like many of his colleagues, hoping that the good times will return. In the good old days the 100 elites could sit around the table, patting each other on the back, and divide the loot on a compromise.
Down here we call him “The Silent Minority.”
Unfortunately for the 1oo elites, the good old days are gone. We are in the midst of a soft civil war, which may eventually morph into a kinetic civil war. We need a strong individual who will fight for freedom. So far, only one hero has emerged who is willing to do that; and furthermore, there are no heroes in the senate.
At least two of them seem to be on ice.
Well, Looky there,… another nag, Tim Scott, just left the paddock to prance before the grandstands and join the other “Also-Ran” nags lining up before the starting gates for the 1 & 1/2 mile endurance run at Politico Downs.
Even as these nags line up,…… the tote board still shows the odds for the Favorite, “45 Again“, are at 1 to 1, a sure thing, Chalk,… a Lock!
Get you bets down, I say, at least $ 1,000 on a Win by 20 lengths by the Fav, 45 Again!
And forget the trifecta, no way to guess which Also Ran nags are going to finish in the $,… cuz too many Jockys these days take a dive for $ and hold back to try and Fix the outcome.
Bugler: “Da da da Dat, da da, da, da, Ta Dah”,….
Announcer: “Annnnd,…. They’re Off!”
It’s almost laughable that the playbook the establishment rinos use hasn’t changed 1 bit. It’s as predictable as Xiden getting lost on stage. Demonrats have changed, maga has evolved, but the establishment is a die hard, old school, it’s been this way for a hundred years mentality. You’d think they would understand that it’s time for a new strategy if they want to actually influence an election. The rules have changed, heck the game has changed. They seem to be the only ones who don’t see that which is great for wide awake American citizens. Once we see the strings, we can’t ever unsee them. Someone should tell Scott, Haley, and Pence their strings are showing!
N ikki Haley appointed him, he didn’t run.
Give SC credit-it punches above its weight in producing ubiquitous, scheming R politicians who are lukewarm liars and frauds.
SC gop requires candidates to be died in the wool Rino’s. Pretend conservatives.
Scott is only in the race to draw BLACK support away from PDJT.
Uncle Tim will very likely fail at that.
I hope so!
That might apply if he was as a Democrat, but no Conservative Black is going to like him just because he is Black.
<i>”I will never back down in defense of the conservative values that make America exceptional”</i>
Free speech?
I will NEVER support ANY politician that supports ANY level of censorship. And that goes for all the GOPe safety dance speech restrictions.
Get this through your heads, Americans! <b>There is NO SUCH THING as criminal speech!</b>
Tim Scott: “I am a conservative without the anger.“
Or guts.
You ain’t conservative
Unless your PISSED OFF!
Just Another fake grifter
I hate to sound disrespectful, but a conservative who is not angry at the BS being shoveled onto our heads is a cuck for the Deep State/Uniparty.
He should be ballistic at the grooming going on in our schools alone.
He is such a spineless putz.
Lack of righteous anger in our Republican politicians is why this country is where it’s at today.
He’s a very weak individual – so weak in fact that he recently supported Murkowski in the midterms. He’s a total idiot – almost at the biden level.
Spot on. Support of Murkowski is Scott’s unequivocal message that, “Have no doubt, I will backstab you every chance I get.”
I have no doubt. Done voting for the lesser of two evils. No vote ever – no matter the circumstance.
That did it for me. I vowed to never vote for him due to that issue. Just tells me he will fold down the road
If he is not angry with what is happening in this country, he does not belong in any government office.
You are another RINO sellout. Go away. We don’t want you. Been there. Done that.
or spine or balls or integrity.
