Your over/under on the first campaign ‘suspension’

[jon-nyc]

Let’s only count the big six - Christie, DeSantis, Haley, Pence, Ramaswamy, and Scott.

I say Thanksgiving.

[Axtremus]

You don’t think there is a scenario where Trump will suspend his campaign?

[Mik]

Not a chance.

[Doctor Phibes]

I was going to say you should really add the three wise men - Biden, Trump and Kennedy.

Zero chance he does it first. Near zero he does it at all.

[jon-nyc]

We should also guess who.

I say Scott, by Thanksgiving.

Kennedy said he has a big announcement Monday that will change politics in America.

I’m guessing that means an independent run.

Kennedy said he has a big announcement Monday that will change politics in America.

He has developed an AI hologram of his father and/or uncle that will be his VP candidate for him.

He switches that around and that's absolutely who I'm voting for.

Not part of the "big six" @jon-nyc listed.
Still ...

I see a scenario where he suspends his campaign and fully endorses Vivek as his kingmaker's pick. The reason? Not sure, could be criminal charges, or might just say he wants to spend his energy elsewhere.

The super PAC backing Sen. Tim Scott’s presidential campaign is pulling the TV ad reservations it had made for the fall, the group announced in a memo to donors obtained by NBC News.

“Starting today, we are going to release all of our Fall media inventory,” Trust in the Mission PAC co-chair Rob Collins wrote in the memo. “We will continue to fully fund our grassroots door knocking, conduit fundraising, event hosting, and earned media efforts.”

“We aren’t going to waste our money when the electorate isn’t focused or ready for a Trump alternative,” Collins continued. “We have done the research. We have studied the focus groups. We have been following Tim on the trail. 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.”

Trust in the Mission PAC currently has nearly $27.3 million booked in future TV reservations, according to AdImpact, an ad-tracking platform.

The memo is an acknowledgment of a stubborn reality for Republicans hoping to knock off Trump: the former president doesn't appear to be budging. Despite not participating in the primary debates and facing legal trouble in four criminal trials, no other candidate has been able to come near him in polling.

...no other candidate has been able to come near him in polling.

And the Democrats smiled.

BTW whoever had "by Halloween" (Pence) wins this bet. He dropped out like 2 days ago.

Ok now Scott is out
