How to not win friends and influence people.
“I would suggest that adopting a general election tone is what you do at this point, and here’s why I say this. This was actually a fairly good night for Joe Biden. When you look at our voter analysis, only 10% said, ‘I would not vote for Joe Biden if he’s the nominee.’ He won a plurality of voters who said he was too old, he won a majority of voters who were upset about the Gaza war.”
McEnany also cited some potentially concerning data about Trump’s prospects in the general election should he fail to unite the Republican Party:
When you look at the Republican Party, seven in ten Nikki Haley voters said, ‘I would not vote for Trump.’ There was a Des Moines Register poll, 43% said, ‘No, I wouldn’t vote for Trump.’
If I’m Trump, I sit back and I exclusively focus on the general election. I take the posture of a presumptive nominee. I focus on, number one, uniting the party, and number two, winning the independents, which Nikki Haley won 55-39%. That’s what I would do.
Nikki Haley, I mean, the closest margin is 30% in the states ahead. For all intents and purposes, he’s the presumptive nominee.
Trump, predictably, was unimpressed by her advice.

A word from Dave in 2004…
Now What Do I Do?
Thursday, November 4th, 2004
So what will happen to this website.
When I first started this site, I did it mostly as a hobby. It was a way to write my thoughts down publicly and I figured it would be intersting to see how my opinion changed over time. Then I started to keep track of the polls and that is when the site really took off trafficwise. At first, it was just a way for me to keep track on the progression of the race and thought it would be cool to go back after the election and see how the race changed over time. For instance, here is what I posted in early January when it appeared Howard Dean was running away with the Democratic nomination just after a new poll came out in NH.
Not that Kerry isn’t already toast, but can you imagine how embarassing it will be when he falls below Clark in NH. At this rate, it should happen by Monday of next week.
Oops. Not only did he win the Democratic nomination, he came pretty darn close to winning the presidency as well.
As far as this website is concerned, I won’t be going anywhere. While my posting will be somewhat less frequent than the 15-a-day posting I reached in the past two months, I still plan on this being a daily site. I will still comment on national politics but I will also shift more to Maryland politics, which is what I had originally planned for this site. Except for the US Senate race (which was a blowout) and the Congressional races (which were all blowouts), elections during Presidential years are not the biggest thing in Maryland. Off-years, like the upcoming 2006, will have many more competitive elections in maryland. The biggest will obviously be ther Governor’s race between Governor Bob Ehrlich and probable Democratic nominee and current Baltimore mayor Martin O’Malley. But there will also be hotly contested races for the Maryland General Assembly as well as at the Howard County level.
Finally, I appreciate all of your thank yous that you have sent me by email or left in the comments. Again, this is a hobby for me and while the amount of work that I put into it, especially in the last two months, took some time,it was also a lot of fun to do. I am glad you enjoyed my site site and let me also thank everyone else for the many comments you leave on the site. There were times when I actually was just sitting at the computer and refreshing the comments over and over again reading the back and forth between many of the regulars. While it did get testy once in a while and there was a smattering of trolls that would get on some people’s nerves, the quality of the comments usually remained high from people on both the left and the right. I hope everyone feels that I didn’t stifle commentary from either side with my occasional banning of people. I tried my best to remove some of people who were only interested in using inflammatory language and personal attacks or baiting other people, but for the most part I tried to let everyone speak their mind without any censorship. I hope everyone felt that way. While I am a Republican, I don’t mind having people from both sides making comments.
With that long-winded rant, now back to normal blogging.”

Around the world there appears to be a revolt against globalist policies, movements and candidacies. In France 9 out of 10 people support the farmer protests. Here in the U.S. the populist America First movement is having a respectable showing in the beginning of the primary season, as RDS and Nikki Haley flounder despite having record amounts of money behind them. It’s being reported some of Haley’s mega donors are starting to withdraw their pocketbooks after a failure to capture NH, despite her encouragement for political crossovers to dilute her opponent’s numbers. I think people are just becoming more aware of the policies robbing them of their freedoms and way of life, and choosing alternative populist avenues to resist the siren sounds of polished messaging from the WEF overlords.

Also, Putin is stuck in Ukraine making him the dumbass in Donbas. I hardly can fear invasion by a man whose Luhansk Oblast campaign is now in its fourth month. A generation raised on video games has no patience. This means Putin is about as much a threat to the USA as those Murder Hornets were.
Zelensky’s PR man, Simon Shuster of Time magazine, has written a semi-official bio titled The Showman, which acknowledges that Ukraine’s president used his experience as a clown and comedian to sell the war.”
People enthralled with unmonitored, never-ending Ukraine aid, continue to mouth it would be a threat to our national security if we don’t continue with this foolish funding. However, these same people are playing the monkey game of “see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing” in ignoring how dismal this war has become for Ukrainian citizens. War supporter ears and eyes are closed, talking endlessly about women being raped, when the real brutalization going on is the loss of young mens’ lives, families and homes destroyed, while conscription coons run around in the morning, picking up any man going to work and forcing him to die on the front line. Why doesn’t Zelensky hold elections, asking people who have family members perishing, if they want to continue fighting? Yes, Putin should leave, but Zelensky could also stand down to save his people from more death and destruction.
