Club Moves – Senator Tim Scott Will Endorse Donald Trump Over Nikki Haley

posted by Sundance at Conservative Treehouse 

Senator Tim Scott is a professional Republican club member. The New York Times is reporting that Senator Scott plans to endorse former President Donald Trump tonight at a rally in New Hampshire.

Previously, Senator Scott endorsed Lisa Murkowski despite President Trump campaigning for her removal.

As noted, Senator Scott is a DeceptiCon, so his endorsement of President Trump over the naturally aligned DeceptiCon candidate Nikki Haley is somewhat of a surprise.

However, against a backdrop where President Trump is being viewed as almost impossible to beat in the primary and the general election, the club insiders need to position accordingly.

The decision to endorse Trump over Haley will be sold by the media narrative engineers as some kind of betrayal to the former South Carolina governor who appointed Scott to the Senate back in 2012. Senator Scott dropped out of the Republican president primary in November after having taken jabs at Haley but had yet to endorse in the race.

The timing is good to finish off Haley in New Hampshire, her only state of hope. However, let us hope President Trump has not set up a future administrative position for Scott as a result of this endorsement. [Insert Snake Poem Here].

NEW YORK TIMES – Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina will endorse Donald J. Trump on Friday evening at a rally in New Hampshire, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Mr. Scott was traveling to Florida on Friday so that he could fly with Mr. Trump to New Hampshire for the rally, the two people said. His endorsement of Mr. Trump is likely to spur additional discussion of Mr. Scott as a potential running mate for the former president. He is the highest-ranking elected Black Republican in the nation.

Mr. Scott arrived at his decision only recently. After ending his own campaign for president on Nov. 12, he had said he would not endorse “anytime soon.” But he came to the conclusion that Mr. Trump was the best candidate to defeat President Biden, according to one person familiar with his thinking.

The move also pre-positions a strong finality to destroying DeSantis in South Carolina.  President Trump now has South Carolina endorsements from both senators, Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, to combine with the endorsement from South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster.

I give President Trump a lot of credit; he positioned assets against DeceptiCons brilliantly this cycle.  {GO DEEP} !!

Take the endorsement to get rid of Haley, but Tim Scott is bad news overall.
