What a sad state of affairs but not surprising since 45% of SC voters polled identify themselves as part of the MAGA movement and either evangelicals or born agains...

Oh, and more than 60% of the Republicans polled with the above think the 2020 presidential election was "stolen"...

She's a joke and delusional.  

You should become religious and pray that she somehow she gets the nod as the front runner.

I would vote for anyone before I'd vote for her, and every Republican I know will never vote for her.

If Joe Biden gets us into WWIII and he's up against her, I wouldn't vote for her. 

If she runs in 2028 I won't vote for her.  I would vote for "Nobody" before I'd vote for her, and in Nevada, they DID vote for "Nobody" and she got beat by "Nobody"  smile
Let's clean up your usual mess with the facts. While Democrats can vote in the GOP primary, those who voted and polled were primarily Republicans.

"Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director under President Trump, said Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s strong showing in South Carolina on Saturday should serve as a “five-alarm fire” to the GOP"

“Somebody who’s running as virtually an incumbent — Donald Trump — getting 60 percent, and 40 percent being against him? That’s not a mandate,” she said. “Especially with the entire Republican party apparatus behind him, with most elected Republicans behind him.”

As far as YOU never voting for Haley, well, that's a given and no real Trumptoid would ever vote for her or any other woman for president. That possibilty just doesn't compute in their brainwashed noggins..

It was a bit amusing in Iowa, when she got killed and then claimed some sort of victory giving this weird, delusional victory speech, when she came in 3rd place.  LOL

In Iowa when they interviewed exiting voters, they stated "oh yeah, I voted FOR her but I'm a Biden voter and will vote for him in the General election".  There was person after person who CNN and others interviewed who said that they switched parties in order to vote for her, and her numbers were still DISMAL.

Who exactly do you idiots and morons on the left think you are fooling?  I mean I know you're dumb as a rock and always will be but maybe you think you're fooling guys like the Resident RINO here??

I don't even think he's that Gullible and stupid.  

In NH she outspent Trump 2 to 1 and then proceeded to get destroyed. tongue

Now she's gotten beat in her home state by 20 % points and that's with Dems crossing the line.  

Its pretty hilarious.  And why do you think I give 2 shits what you think, do, or say??   smile
Regarding the Koch brothers:
"We thank them for their tremendous help in this race," the statement from Haley’s campaign continued. "Our fight continues, and with more than $1 million coming in from grassroots conservatives in just the last 24 hours, we have plenty of fuel to keep going. We have a country to save."

"Haley raised $16.5 million in January, including $11.7 million from grassroots supporters, according to her campaign.
"The campaign also added 69,274 new donors last month."

Those aren't Democrats, they're grassroots Republicans...

Former Australian Prime Minister on Trump

I wonder how Trump's appeal to black voters is going by saying he was indicted for them and they identify with him because of his mug shot...

The Los Angeles County "Opus" On Light Pollution

Posted By Rod Kaufman

The county of Los Angeles has, in conjunction with the light pollution committee of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society and other contributors, produced the following video on our ongoing joint efforts to eventually reduce light pollution within the largest county in the USA.  As chair of the LAAS light pollution committee, I'm pleased to share this with everyone.

WOW, Nikki Haley got millions from Democrats like this Billionaire who funneled her $250,000. Then she got stomped in her home state of South Carolina, getting a dismal 3 delegates. Trump got 47 delegates

He stomped Nikki Haley.  What is she doing?  What is her goal?  Is she going to run under the No Labels party?  One thing is for sure, she's killing her future as a politician.
She'll eventually endorse Trump and kiss his ring.
That said, she's setting herself up as a future nominee of the party if Trump isn't re-elected.

"Ice Her": Trump's Plan To Use Cannon Vs Chutkan

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Trump’s plan to use Judge Cannon to block Judge Chutkan and avoid trial"

"A primary aim for Trump’s legal team, according to people familiar with the strategy, is to put the judge in DC overseeing the 2020 federal election obstruction case, Tanya Chutkan, in a position where she can’t start a trial before Election Day."

"A primary aim for Trump’s legal team, according to people familiar with the strategy, is to put the judge in DC overseeing the 2020 federal election obstruction case, Tanya Chutkan, in a position where she can’t start a trial before Election Day."

"One way to hamper Chutkan is to convince the judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, to move Trump’s Mar-a-Lago document mishandling trial from late May until the summer."

Now, let's see a show of hands of those who don't think Cannon will play along...

The Cons On SCOTUS: Defend Your "Right" To A Bumpstock!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

One of the most inane, if not THE inane argument uttered by a SCOTUS justice in this case or any other,  to keep the Trump era bump stock ban in place has now been advanced by "Justice" Kavanaugh who said, "the prohibition would “ensnare” Americans who weren’t aware of it."
“Even if you’re not aware of the legal prohibition, you can be convicted,” Kavanaugh told the attorney representing the Biden administration. “That’s going to ensnare a lot of people who were not are of the legal prohibition.”

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/28/politics/takeaways-supreme-court-bump-stocks-machine-gun/index.html

So, whatever happened to the legal adage that "ignorance of the law is no defense against it?" Kavanaugh's reasoning could be carried to the extent applicable to cases like, " I wasn't aware of the prohibition to use various chemicals to manufacture methamphetamines in my lab so I can't be convicted of it and I was merely ensnared by doing so." The possibilities are endless.

Likewise, whatever happened to Clarence's "standard" requiring our gun laws be interpreted as they were back in the 1700s? Did they have bump stocks back then?
