    Doesn't sound pessimistic either. Glad she'll fight on. I don't get everyone piling on her.
    Good for her for taking on the cult leader, and to no personal benefit.

    44% against the cult and all FOX News programming? Sheeeet. I'm surprised.

    Haley needed to win NH and things don’t look good for her in SC. It’s just a matter of time now that things end for her.

    Haley represents the old and tired wing of the conservative party -- neocons, who want endless war. She's likely a compromised candidate, meaning the intel agencies control her (like they do Biden). Maybe they are holding her past infidelities over her as blackmail, who knows.

    Trump represents the anti-war candidate who will restore power to the PEOPLE, not unelected, unaccountable, controlled bureaucrats. A vote for Trump is a vote to restore TRUE democratic principles to the country. By people speaking and exercising power through the ballot box. Not through the vast network of bureaucracy known as the swamp or deep state, which controls Haley and Biden.

    This is hilarious considering for most of your history on this site you were pushing Neocon ideas and was one of the biggest cheerleaders of the Iraq war and supporter of GW Bush.

    I don’t know if this has all been an act in which case that is some dedication to 20 + years of doing so. But more indication you’re not a serious poster.

    Correlation between those who think Biden won in 2020 and Haley voter?

    Or is it coincidence?

    I was surprised she did so well and good for her, I may not agree with her, but she "appears" sane. One thing I found interesting is the demographics of the polling last night, trump leads the folks with no degree that identify as "angry" and Haley led the folks who have a degree. Not shocked mind you, but I found it interesting, moderate people don't like his rhetoric. I doubt she will win but good for her for putting up a fight..............one thing that turned my stomach was watching the like of Tim Scott standing behind trump laughing at his crude language, I thought the dude had morals and was a "Christian" but was laughing as trump dragged her through the mud and all he could do was give a cringe worthy laugh..................they all must kiss the ring to be in the cool club

    Tim Scott has put himself in the “craven” category of the GOP. He knows opposition, even mild to Trump will hurt him politically. As such he’s just fallen in line like so many else in the party.

    Listening to Tim Scott right now and he claims he didn’t hear Trump threaten to investigate Haley. He also claims that under Trump the economy was better for minorities the lower classes. Black unemployment is lower now than then and the Trump tax cuts far more benefitted the wealthy than the lower class.

    And now he’s quoting scripture while he told a man that can’t even correctly name a book of the Bible that he loved him last night.

    haley nominated scott to the senate seat he now holds. trump being who and what he is isn't as much of the problem as those around him that enable him and those in the voting populace that support him. Without him, trump would be just noise.

    Is it not possible for views to change? Like Obama's view on gay marriage, or Biden's views on school desegregation (he said he didn't want his kids growing up in a "racial jungle")?

    The internet and access to information have exposed the swamp -- we know more now than we did back then. Bush had severe problems, and was also a controlled candidate, but he was still better than Clinton or Obama, both also controlled. Trump is not controlled by the swamp, which is why the attacks against him are endless. The DC bureaucrats and agencies (unelected, all of them) don't want to give up power. They've got tremendous power with a mentally incapacitated and compromised-by-corruption President today in Biden.

    A coincidence most of the people who voted for Haley are Democrats?

    Biden's open borders will put tremendous pressure on long term black unemployment. The people coming across the border are not taking the white collar jobs in Silicon Valley. They are taking the inner city jobs that existing urban residents compete for.

    Link?

    ETA:
    45% of NH voters are independents. Trump needs the independents to break his way to win the purple states.

    His character simply embodies prevailing right wing sentiment. Bush, McCain, Romney, Trump, etc. T_J is a cheerleader and sticks to the narrative.

    He does it with incredible aplomb and that's why we love him.

    So what you’re saying is you were duped and ignorant then even though you were constantly bragging about how knowledgeable you are.

    Yep your dedication to remaining in character is remarkable.

    Trump is leading by about 40 points (62-25 average) in SC. I guess it's interesting that around 1/4 of Republican primary voters in SC don't like him.
