Even Tim Scott’s super-hot lingerie model girlfriend from Canada (you wouldn’t know her) cannot save his campaign.
The super PAC supporting Tim Scott’s presidential bid is canceling most of its remaining TV spending, reversing course after reserving $40 million in ads for him ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
The retreat from TV is the latest sign of how dire the primary has become for a candidate who once anticipated outside help from big donors — but who is now polling in low single digits and hasn’t yet qualified for the third debate.
TIM PAC (are you aware that’s the name of his PAC? Trust In the Mission PAC) co-chair Rob Collins explained:
“We are doing what would be obvious in the business world but will mystify politicos — we aren’t going to waste our money when the electorate isn’t focused or ready for a Trump alternative,” wrote Rob Collins, co-chair of the super PAC, who said the “Never-Trump field” is going to be “wasting money this fall” trying to undermine Trump’s current lead.
“This electorate is locked up and money spent on mass media isn’t going to change minds until we get a lot closer to voting,” Collins continued.
…which is essentially weasel-speak for “it’s over.”
Scott, who still has some money in the bank won’t be in the next debate (doesn’t have the polls he needed), so he can sit next to Pence (who doesn’t have the money but does have the polls). The GOP is not interested in Team Heaven, they’ve got behind Team Hell with Trump.
