Nikki Haley's Amy Klobuchar act

After Nikki Haley's defeat in the New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday night, Nikki Haley did her best Amy Klobuchar impersonation by delivering a speech to make it sound like she'd won. That didn't sit well with Donald Trump, who said "I have to tell you, it was very interesting because I said, ‘Wow, what a great victory. But then, somebody ran up to the stage all dressed up nicely — when it was at 7. But now I walked up and it said 14."

Trump wasn't happy with Nikki Haley's speech after the networks and the AP called the race, declaring Trump the winner. He said "She ran up when it was 7, and you know, we have to do what’s good for our party, and she was up and I said, ‘Wow, she’s doing a speech like she won. She didn’t win. She lost. Last week we had a little bit of a problem. If you remember, Ron was very upset, because she ran up and she pretended she won Iowa."

Campaigns reveal the candidates' character (or lack thereof). This campaign has shown that Nikki Haley is a slippery, dishonest person. Here's additional proof of that:

"And I looked around and I said, didn’t she come in third? Yeah, she came in third," he said. "And then I looked at the polls, she was talking about most win-ability. Who is going to win, and I have one put up, we have won almost every single poll in the last three months against crooked Joe Biden. Almost every poll. And she doesn’t win those polls."
When Trump said that, the first thing I thought was that Nikki Haley must've trained under Amy Klobuchar. In 2020, Democrats used an untested app for the Iowa Caucuses. We didn't get the results for over a week. Despite that, Sen. Klobuchar jumped into the news void and delivered this speech:

It didn't matter to St. Amy of Hennepin County that she'd just finished fifth behind Pothole Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. St. Amy of Hennepin County pretended to win the Iowa Caucuses. Nikki Haley finished third in Iowa and last in New Hampshire. Despite those disappointing finishes, she's acting like she's winning. I don't dispute that Trump has some weaknesses that must be fixed:
The first task for any candidate is to unify the party. But 19% of Republicans who cast ballots in New Hampshire said they would be so dissatisfied with Trump as the nominee that they wouldn’t vote for him in November, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of primary voters. Similarly, 15% of Republicans who participated in Iowa’s caucuses last week said they wouldn’t support Trump in the general election.
That's why I supported Gov. DeSantis. The good news for Trump and Republicans is that there's time to fix this. The question is whether he's capable of fixing the problem.

Nikki Haley has problems, too. First, her universe of voters is smaller than the America First universe of voters. Next, most of the Democrats that are voting for her now intend on voting for Joe Biden or whoever the Democrat nominee is this fall. Winning over Reagan Democrats in Macomb County Michigan is a positive thing. Getting Democrats to vote for you in the primaries but then losing them in November isn't a virtue.

The good news is that Joe Biden's coalition appears to be splintering. Biden's radical agenda is a great turnout motivator for the GOP, too. The U.S. won't last another 4 years of Biden.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
