  2. From a good friend at CPAC:

    “In all the years I’ve been coming here never seen it like this. It’ll be packed Saturday when Trump is here obviously. But beyond that I don’t see this event being relevant much longer. Attendance was already on the decline, and this is maybe half the people who were here last year.”

  5. She’s a Uniparty Plant: Governor Newsome Thanks Nikki Haley for Helping Democrats Make the Case Against Trump

    https://nypost.com/2024/02/24/us-news/california-gov-gavin-newsom-praises-nikki-haley-for-helping-democrats-make-the-case-against-trump-one-of-our-better-surrogates/

    “I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in [the GOP primary race],” Newsom, 56, told CNN host Jake Tapper, arguing that her criticisms of the former president are “spot on.”

    I hope she does well tomorrow — at least, well enough,” the Golden State governor added, referring to Saturday’s South Carolina GOP primary, where Haley – the state’s former governor – trails Trump by more than 23 points, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls

    “I’m enjoying this primary. And I hope it continues, so I wish her luck,” Newsom added.

    Some years back I also visited the home of James Buchanan.

    I found it to be very interesting.

    Did you know that Buchanan was never married and that when he was president he got his niece, who lived in Shepherdstown, VA (now WV) to come to D.C. to plan and oversee all the social events at the White House?

    Ask your tour guide about that.

  19. Is there any chance the “compelling” testimony of the witnesses will change your mind that these are bogus charges and election interference?

    Jason…there is no compelling evidence to exonerate Trumps actions leading up to January 6th. Trumps only allies were Rudy, Powell, Flynn, Eastman, and Davis who was in the agricultural department for the AG office who Trump wanted to make AG but every WH lawyer and staff threatened to resign if he did. He pushed the Eastman theory to the extreme. Huge mistake.

    This doesn’t dismiss the bogus insurrection narrative and indictments or timing to interfere with the 2024. However Trumps actions to pursue the Eastman plan gave the corrupt DOJ and Biden administration the opening and they took advantage.

    The Capital riot was a pretext.

    That’s politics.

    Could this happen to any GOP leader again? Sure. That is why we need someone wise enough to not to expose themselves with their erratic behavior. Winning the WH and using Article 2 authority to undo Obamas corrupt influence in the administrative state is the play here.

    If Trump survives and wins great. He better be willing to lead this time.

    I don’t see Trump as a victim. He had his shot to address the corruption but was too afraid of the blowback it would cause.

    This was my number one reason I supported RDS. He is a much stronger leader and could lead the charge and would use his Constitutional authority.

  48. Vic – I have been very clear on this. Whomever receives the GOP nomination in any election gets my vote. I hated Trump in 2016 and 2020 but he still got my vote because he was better than Clinton and Biden. He will get my vote again in 2024. I will never forget or forgive his financial donations to hard leftists for decades.

    I don’t like him. I think he is an amoral scumbag. He did nothing to expand his appeal to anybody outside his MAGA base.

    He did some good things as President but has no interest in running on those. He is superior to Biden or Biden’s replacement.

    I am troubled by his refusal to condemn Putin. He is a moron on Ukraine and, if elected, will do nothing to stop its fall. He is too close to Putin to stop it.

    The trials against him are political garbage.

    So I continue to support Haley knowing she will not be the nominee.

    I hope Trump regains the White House. I do not like or respect him. Both can be true.
