It's just an educated person spewing the same **** without the openly racist and crass language.dbCooper said:Sadly, her original answer is not that offensive, when contrasted with what is spewed by the front runner on a daily basis.What's interesting to me is the lack of spine shown by her. Do she and her handlers really think that acknowledging slavery was central to the civil war and giving a simple and straightforward answer to that end when being clearly baited by a reporter is going to lose her some votes? This could've been such a non issue for her, but the lack of spine and fearful pandering is just stunning to me. Not leadership material by any measure to me.Love you bro! -

Just do whatever it takes to take down CHEETO. Hopefully this enhances Haley momentum in NH.

Food for thought/concern:
“The [Iowa] vote … revealed weaknesses that could pose problems in a general election, so Republicans in New Hampshire should think hard if they want to gamble on another Trump run,” the WSJ editorial board warned. Added the editors at National Review, “The party has better alternatives, but, if the Iowa results are any indication, perhaps not for very long.”

Donald Trump took 97.1% of the popular vote in Iowa in 2020, last night he took 51%; so there's that.

In 2016, he got 24.3% (ted cruz won), so there's that too.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

As the late and great Howard Cosell said, " “Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier."No surprise here-Campaign was a train wreck from the start and he is about as arrogant and condescending as they come. Hard to believe he is a Governor.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

In 2020 he was the incumbent and running virtually unopposed in the caucus. I believe several states even canceled their Republican primaries that year.Botch said:Donald Trump took 97.1% of the popular vote in Iowa in 2020, last night he took 51%; so there's that.

So in 2020 Trump ran for president and there was a worldwide pandemic. 2024 Trump is trying again and there is going to be a biblical sized invasion of cicadas.
Why are only half the people seeing the signs?

And this from Politico today:
"The bigger and more obvious question is, will the primary continue past Tuesday night?
Haley now has the two-person race she insists she wanted all along. But it couldn’t come at a moment with higher stakes: In New Hampshire, she can hardly ask for a friendlier primary electorate. But if she can’t win there — or come close to it — it’ll be a tough sell to stay in the race till South Carolina, four weeks later.
It’s not looking good for Haley: The Globe/Suffolk/NBC10 tracking poll has her 19 points behind Trump, 57%-38%, this morning. And as Granite State insiders tell Lisa Kashinsky and Natalie Allison, DeSantis’ exit didn’t help her — it hurt.
As veteran Republican operative SCOTT JENNINGS told us last night, there’s little proof that the message Haley is selling — that she’d make the campaign against Biden about issues, not Trump — has an audience: “That is not what a majority of Republican voters are clearly saying over and over again that they want. They want to replay this one more time so Donald Trump can be right.”
A DeSantis ally was much more curt (if self-serving): “The primary is over.”
The counter-arguments from Haley’s camp are many. That the primary is just getting started. That her support has been rising consistently. That voters aren’t interested in a Trump-Biden rematch. That the votes of 56,000 Iowans aren’t dispositive. That DeSantis and other also-rans are backing Trump “because they’ll be damned if Nikki is the one who can do it and not them,” as one pro-Haley strategist put it.
“They want this race to be over before it even starts,” a senior campaign aide said. “There's a reason why Donald Trump is going so hard against Nikki, why he's spending millions of dollars, why she's living rent-free in his brain.”"

George Will column that rational voters would give credence to..."Trump would drain the South Carolina wallets that Haley helped fill"When Donald Trump won 20 of Iowa’s 40 nominating delegates — 20 of the 2,429 who will be allocated nationally; 20 of the 1,215 needed to be nominated — he declared the game over. Enlarging his emotional repertoire — leavening a barrel of petulance with a pinch of synthetic magnanimity — he said it is “time now for everybody, our country, to come together.” Presumably, he was not inviting to this group hug those Americans he calls “vermin.”
After winning less than 8 percent of Iowa’s registered Republicans, he received less than five percentage points more than a majority in New Hampshire. There, flanked Tuesday night by grinning, ring-kissing, cringeworthy toadies (Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott, you are the sum of your choices), he declared the game over.
As the game enters the bottom of the first inning — 62 delegates allocated; 2,367 not yet — the nomination is his to lose. However, he, who despises “losers,” is one.
He, and the cult-cum-party under his tutelage, has lost the national popular vote twice, the presidency, the Senate and the House. His party spectacularly underperformed in the 2022 elections. And in numerous court challenges to the 2020 election results, he has compiled 20 fewer wins than the famously futile 1899 Cleveland Spiders baseball team, which went 20-134.
Trump’s wisdom makes him flinch from debating Nikki Haley. Readers who did not see her combative, soaring Tuesday night speech can do so on YouTube. They will then recognize that his wisdom is a coward’s caution.
On Feb. 24, South Carolinians can extend the nomination process into the middle innings — into March, giving voters elsewhere time to consider the following.
Trump’s inversion of conservatism is complete. His prospective program features higher taxes at home and retreat abroad.
To be fair to him, it is simply beyond his poor powers of comprehension to understand that tariffs — he vows 10 percent on all imports from everywhere — are taxes paid by American consumers and producers. So, to a nation furious about inflation, he promises to raise the cost of living, especially for his lower-income idolaters, who necessarily devote disproportionate shares of their incomes to consumption.
A reelected Trump could keep this promise because Congress has abandoned to presidents (who cite spurious “national security” and other “emergencies”) its constitutional power to “regulate commerce with foreign nations” (Article I, Section 8). This should especially interest South Carolina — and other exporting and importing states, in the Southeast and elsewhere — that will vote on March 5, Super Tuesday, when more than half the number of delegates needed for the nomination will be selected.
The Port of Charleston is one reason South Carolina’s population is burgeoning. And one reason South Carolina has changed more, and more for the better, in the past 50 years than any other state. Upward of 400,000 South Carolinians have arrived since Haley left the governorship in January 2017, and the state was the country’s fastest-growing by percentage in 2023. They might not know this, but many have become residents because of her.
Haley — like some other South Carolina governors, but she more than any other — has made her state an economic dynamo, where unemployment is 3 percent. Trump, whose understanding of wealth creation is, like his wealth, wildly exaggerated, will dump sand in the dynamo’s gears.
In foreign policy, Trump, a leader obedient to his base, promises to ensure that Ukraine loses the war that he was sure would not occur. (In 2016, of Vladimir Putin: “He’s not going into Ukraine, okay? … You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”) Trump, obsessing about the cost of U.S. assistance (a rounding error on the federal budget), is oblivious of the fact that almost 90 percent of U.S. dollars devoted to arming Ukraine are spent in the United States. His blinkered parsimony is ludicrous from someone who blithely presided over an $8.4 trillion increase in the national debt.
South Carolinians should contemplate the deluge of measures likely if Trump, who has never had and never will have 50 percent approval, is a lame duck president in 2026, when Republicans will be defending 20 Senate seats, Democrats only 13. A Democratic Senate majority’s agenda in 2027 might include ending the filibuster, packing the Supreme Court, instituting card-check procedures to vitiate unionization elections (and the South’s attraction of investments), pursuing statehood for D.C., and much more.
Haley’s gallant “game on” message on Tuesday night might ultimately be unavailing. She is, however, standing alone against Trump possibly becoming the most valuable president progressivism has ever had.
