I don't see Haley becoming the nominee under any circumstances. Not even if Trump finally has the massive stroke he's been cultivating for 76 years. The GOP is just way too flooded with misogyny to stomach a woman, and way too racist to stomach a non-White woman.
No, they'll take Desantis if they can't get Trump. But they'll have Trump because none of us are that lucky.
Talk about damning with faint praise – Haley is “only” 31 points behind! 50% of Republicans would “consider” voting for her! I don’t know how the decision makers at WaPo look in the mirror after publishing this tripe, I really don’t.
Just as a point of reference, casting my mind back to the 2020 primary, there were only one or two of the Democratic candidates I wouldn’t “consider” supporting. Party affiliation and loyalty, after all. If you ran a chimp in a red necktie against Joe Biden – and the chimp wouldn’t do as much damage as a second Trump term – Republicans would vote for it. Pretending the Republican debates are anything more than a Veepstakes is insulting.
Haley and Scott: it’s as if white South Carolinians decided, “We don’t want to look racist/sexist/xenophobic, so we’ll find a woman, a black and a Hindu who share our beliefs and put them in office while we go about being as racist/sexist/xenophobic as we wish.”
I think it’s significant Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is endorsing DeSantis, because “Trump can’t win.” Dare we hope some are getting less afraid the wounded jackal (he’s never been a lion) and his MAGAt Flying Monkeys?
Haley won’t cut the mustard...but must be taken seriously...
Anybody else remember all the speculative talk about how much Trump would be hurt by skipping the debates? Ha ha, seems like a hundred years ago. Turns out Republican voters, not caring much for democracy, don't care much for the trappings of democracy either.
UPRIGHT: Buff, you know political beliefs are something we don’t talk about on this show. Have you been drinking?
TOEHOLD: What do you think?
Buff keeping it real. And I know I shouldn't be surprised that Chaya Raichik would take a victory lap for inspiring threats to children's hospitals. But I am. What a shitbird.
As the adage goes: “Never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate.”
That said, I can see how Haley is making headway. Instead of losing to Trump 81-19%, she’s cut the margin to 80-20%. OUTSTANDING!!!!!
The good news? We’re still a year out and a lot can happen.
In 2003-4, Bush was down by double digits a year out, yet he still pulled out a win.
In 2016, Hillary was up by 10% with a week to go, before losing to the bleached faced, orange weasel, who if he had half a brain, I’d consider him gifted.
In 2022, a red wave was supposed to sweep this nation: instead a bang, it landed with a whimper.
In the off election cycles in the last year and a half, democrats have made gains even in deep red states.
Today are elections in several swing and red-states including Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. If democrats can make gains, then I’m much more likely to believe when Americans are given the choice between an old dotard and a reckless, evil narcissistic sociopath; America will choose wisely.
If not, we’ll get the government we deserve; good and hard! As for me, Costa Rica is starting to look really good...:)

I'm confused. Is the photo at the top of the post Haley or George Santos in drag?
Also, I, too, am bewildered by how young women are tending to have gratuitous plastic surgery.
Oh god, another whole year of this. I envy those countries with a six- or eight-week campaign season.
Hilarious.

I'm trying to decide between "slightly
Jokerfying plastic surgery" and " Mennen
Speed Stick and tetracycline"
It's hard!

What a world, what a world.
What I’m seeing is DeSantis is going nowhere... there’s steady erosion of Mango Mussolini’s support..l refuse to not be hopeful.

Glad to see the band back together again.
