Creston resident Tim Haynie, who saw Scott speak for the third time on Tuesday at a Pizza Ranch in Creston, said Scott is his "favorite candidate." But in terms of electability, Haynie ranks Trump and DeSantis over Scott. 

Haynie, a member of the Union County Central Committee, says he's not sure what would have to change to solidify his vote for Scott over the other two candidates, but he said his mind changes daily.  [emphasis added]

"It's tough on me because if any one of those three wins the primary, they're electable," Haynie said. "It's not a matter of electability on the national level if they're on the general election ticket."Haynie considers himself a Trump fan, but he said if Scott starts to poll better, he could "envision" himself caucusing for Scott. 

Haynie said it's a matter of Scott gaining a "momentum swing," and lauded his efforts to campaign in rural Iowa. 

"He's a godly man and he speaks the truth, I just love that guy," Haynie said of Scott. "I would love for him to be our primary choice, but I don't know if he can be. I'm confident Trump will be our candidate, and I'm OK with that and he's been number one for me."
