“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.
Big Tent – unfortunately I believe Trumps ability to be polarizing and the MAGA grift machine has caused a larger percentage of the party … those that are on the right and moderates to become less inclined to accept differences and compromise.
So Newsome is supporting St. Rush Limbaugh’s 2008 strategy for the Democrat Primary.
Trump is going to be nominee. I hope Haley stays in just to say, “I support military aid to Ukraine because it serves America’s strategic interest.” and “Trump can F off.”
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?
Walt – CSpan 2 and 3 have history lectures on the weekends. I watched a lecture about James Buchanan. The speaker started off by saying “Yes. I wanted to be on expert on James Buchanan because there was no competition.” He also said that “I am gay. I have read all of Buchanan’s diaries and letters as well as letters to him. I don’t want to disappoint my gay friends but Buchanan was not gay.”

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.
MD was known to berate any poster who disagreed with him. A Grade A Richard. Funny thing is….current MD thinks previous MD was wrong about a lot. There must be some hilarious screaming going on in his big head.
Jack mallers recent interview where he was asked about jaimie Diamond’s bitcoin comments when he called him Epstein’s bank is enigmatic of these boomer institutions that are in the process of being destroyed at the moment.
flyers rangers. A flyers player decided to take on the rangers 6’8” rookie….big mistake. I haven’t seen that many cuts and bruises on a guys face in a long time
Flyers are doing better than expected this season. They finally have a plan. For too long they just wanted to relive the Broad Street Bullies era. The rest of the NHL decided skating and scoring were more important.
if the devil said something flattering trump would fawn. Sometimes I wonder if it’s all an act just to be president. Odd thing is he didn’t need to be this bombastic to win he’s thr WWE President
I personally think he is in over his head and it showed in 2020. I get he was the FU candidate to the establishment beating Bush and Clinton…but never thought I might have to vote for him three times!
Bitter – lol. Im not a big Cuban fan. I’ve got a couple of interesting things going on right now, in very different spaces. One you’ll see commercially soon
I think Cuban is interesting. A Jewish guy from Pittsburgh who started businesses in college became a billionaire. Of course, I never had business dealings with him. Maybe you have.
Bitter – he and i had production companies at the same time. I focused on content abroad, soccer, rugby, golf (pga. LPGA) I sold that business for about 1/100 of what he sold broadcast.com. When we meet for dinner one day I’ll tell you the rest of the story!
LOL Bitter, you are principled and stand on them, that is to be admired, yet, also are practical and realize a Trump presidency is better than any potential Dem Presidency, and your vote is really going to matter since PA should be close.
I think at some point probably soon Neocon Nikki will drop the GOP facade and go third party or campaign to steal the nomination for the democratsuniparty.
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.
“One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him.”
Very good advice for the Republican party right now, that seems to revel in discord over purity, and then complains when the opposition steps on us and ruins this great country.
VictrC- what a foolish overall thought process you have.
If democrats sneak out a narrow victory with demented joe, their base is just gonna be pissed off for four years. He won’t accomplish anything and the dems will hate him.
If they steal the election, a GOP senate might even block all his judicial nominations. Putting Joe or Kamala back in is a recipe for absolute chaos and the left knows it. It’s just digging a hole. You can’t win or lead a movement with a guy like that.
All that actually matters is defeating the neocons in the primary, and getting the correct VP in there in case deepstate tries to remove him, which they will.
I am not impressed by Trump’s 60-40 win. SC. is a very conservative state, especially among Rs, Trump should have gotten 80% for me to be impressed. He lost some urban population centers by large margins.
Charleston Haley 39000 Trump 24000
