So just saw De Santis withdrew from the Republican primaries... source ABC TV news. Couldn't continue without seeing "a clear path to victory.

So Trump's only real opposition among his own party to being their nominee is now Nikki Haley?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quits presidential campaign

The Florida governor says he lacks a "clear path to victory" and endorses Donald Trump's candidacy for the nomination.

It’s odd that Trump hand picked the lady to be his representative at the UN during his 45 presidency. Now he doesn’t know who she is. The other day the tried on the Jan 6 Pelosi Capital Police thing on her. Yes, he blamed her. Dementia or mud sticks ? The latter I reckon. His voters are dumb enough to believe anything he says..

Urgh, just in case he loses he is already saying that the New Hampshire primary is rigged. So basically in that country you are supposed to be registered with a political party to vote in the primaries. It's a bit like the labor caucus here, you have to be a member of the labor party. Anyway, if you are not aligned to any party or have dropped a party you can still rock up on the day and align yourself. That's the system. It might work for you in Iowa and it might work against you in New Hampshire. It's been that way for 100 years.

Donald seems to be a hero for those who like to think of themselves as victims

So it might actually be true? just that its been like that forever.

 

[JokerEel]

Been 8 years of laughter

Well except that he may pull out of NATO, stop funding Ukraine. Pick a fight with China (again).

He likes to think that building a tariff wall around his country makes America Great Again, but what did protectionism do last time ? It drew us into a global trade war which f**ked us over royally. <sigh>

He famously said that the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.” Fair enough, but I bet he does for Israel. So will he pull $ out of Ukraine, but still throw $ at Gaza ? Hmm.

Anyway, he's leading the bookies right now, so predicting a Trump victory doesn't make you a genius.

This guy however (from the "If You're Listening" podcast) stuck his nose out bravely today.
