Plus if that happens she ll sway a lot of voters in the middle with it for the general for daring to continue to stand up to the cult imho.
That has to be playing on the minds of the R political establishment. Their worst case scenario is Trump gets convicted or has to drop out for other reasons and they don't have a viable replacement in place.
I know that, you know that, my dog knows that, but apparently one of our favourite WUMs talking points is that the convicted felon who runs away from debates and failed to obliterate Biden in a debate 4 years ago, would obliterate him in a debate right now.
Ahhh yes, the drive by poster. Had to go back to see the author of the initial post was. Don't mind me, been a long day.

So, basically just unregistered dems/independents voting for Haley then.
To me, this is what Russia wanted all along. Them getting Trump was the cherry on top, but they really wanted to seed doubt & discontent through media mouth pieces over a multi-election period of time to turn the country against one another. They just played a blinder out of the gate.
I see it more as a schism that the dems should try and exploit. Those are votes Trump needs. At the same time it looks convenient for Haley to stay in the race for a while just in case something happens with Trump's legal cases and the GOP needs a viable candidate. As it has been repeated ad nauseam, even with voter supression, the GOP base isn't enough to win.

Not quite, but in a low turnout election, its not far off.
Yep. Its only about 25-28% of the voting population, which makes it virtually impossible to win a race without a sizable swath of independent support. Many independents left Trump after Jan 6th, so it will be interesting to see how they react to him this time.
And we should not give Russia what it wants. I live in a 2-1 state (blue), but I cannot wait to vote for Biden despite my reservation about what's happening in Gaza. There is a lot to be worried about if Trump wins. A lot.
If I’m Haley I’d respond “is he talking about pelosi again?”
Peak neo-fasicst MAGAShe won't drop out before SC, that's her home state, when she loses there she'll drop out
He said that when he won in 2016 too.
Agreed, never understood when people called him charismatic and funny.
It goes even further back than that, he claimed 2012 was rigged for Obama too, when he wasnt even running.
It's way too early imo, but yeah I can't believe Dems thought Biden is the best(and only one) they have to offer.
Don't see her making it to SC imo. She is not going to willingly walk into a massive loss that it will definitely be, that would be suicidal for any 2028 aspirations of hers.
She was pretty emphatic in her speech, I think - she will not drop out yet. Of course, that can change quickly, but I think she is in for a few more states, if she still has the money. The logic is probably, that she hopes to be around if Trump has a stroke or something.

A lot more of their primary electorate didn't want him in 2016, and yet he completely dominated the party in short order. I'd also hesitate to compare New Hampshire and Iowa to the broader primary electorate. Haley pretty much had to win New Hampshire to have any chance at all of winning the nomination. Trump will get well over 60% in the next primaries.
If you cheer for the other guy, you will get a far worse clown. Better suck it up and shove your narrow view of the world aside.

They're running out of ass to be fecked now.
Being a former governor of SC she doesn't really need to spend money there, IMO she'll drop out after SC hands her ass to her
I feel your pain. My in laws think Trump can indeed quite literally shoot people (bonus points for them if they re liberal, Muslim or South American) and he d be ok in their book. It got to the point I don't even want to be around them anymore than I absolutely need to.
Didn't you move there? Or did you take one look and high tail it back to the blue heaven that is errrr.... Missouri?
I'm still in MO but we will be moving at some point, not sure when yet, where I am in the STL area is actually a solid blue countyDidn't you move there? Or did you take one look and high tail it back to the blue heaven that is errrr.... Missouri?
But yeah. I feel the pain with you and @Redplane with the in-law stuff. Mine are not that bad, but my FIL used to be a pretty liberal dude but is slowly turning to the right for no discernable reason. It is baffling.
And another poll yesterday shows Biden winning Pennsylvania by a big margin. The polls will hopefully settle in few weeks or even months.
