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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
