"Anybody that makes a contribution (to Nikki Haley)....we don't want them."

Biden should remind the American people of those words every time he speaks. Starting tomorrow night.

I agree wholeheartedly

Please do not stop Indicted former President Trump of breaking the Rule of addition in politic. The indicted Trump has made a living of breaking accumulating 91 counts so far.

I expect a repeat of the 2020 election with all the fireworks.

Indicted candidate Trump woke up getting 150k votes fewer than unpopular Ted Cruz in Texas

Nikki Haley also thought that nominating a criminally indicted aged Trump is a BIG RISK. (She is right!!)

Chris, check out the group “The War on Drugs”, and in particular, the song “I don’t live here anymore”. Great stuff, IMHO.

IDK where you live, I'm in Philadelphia. There's an excellent radio station here, WXPN. It's member supported out of the University of Pennsylvania. Very eclectic music, have been turned on to many bands you don't here on regular radio.

Yes! To me, especially in this song, they sound like they come from the mid-1980s!

Disappointed you're not talking about Palmermentum in the wake of his victory in American Samoa last night.

Trump is appealing to his favorite cohort. The poorly educated. The people who do not follow the news, don’t do critical thinking, are not media literate, and probably do not understand what will be lost by a loss of democracy. They are also people who confuse violence with righteousness and passion.

This is why I hope people wake up. If Trump wins...we are all in danger. People seem to me to be waking up to this versus last 2 presidential fights. Trump has told us what will happen...he'll go after people...all kinds of people. Iam holding hope tightly.

I keep hoping that Congresscritter Potato Face (aka Marjorie Traitor Goon) will be guest of honor at a single car fatality. Give the makeup of her cracker district, it's the only way we'll ever see the last of that ugly braindead cow.

Now now, TC. You’re giving cows a bad name…

Try Sigur Ros. You’ve got good taste in music so you probably are familiar with them. They’re an Icelandic ambient music group

Looks like Rick Scott is thinking VP. Just a hunch. Also, immigration is a lot further down on the list than I expected.

MTG can never be taken seriously after "space laser" comments etc.

Thanks for the “politics of addition”, Chris!

SO much of the media narrative has been about how Trump is crushing it on his way to the nomination, but the smart perspective (Mary Trump had a great piece on this yesterday) is just how truly weak this shows him to be! +-60% of the Republican vote is NOT crushing it, by any means! Sure, certain states allow “crossover” voting and it has to be acknowledged that at least *some* of Haley’s support came from independents and a few Democrats, but Trump’s “50% from the Radical Left” is just another one of his made up stats with absolutely *nothing* based upon fact.

Since this election will be won or lost at the margins, and Haley voters have identified in exit polls (the *only* truly accurate polls you’ll get in the primary season) that some roughly 43% will vote for Biden, this is the single most important takeaway from Haley’s campaign.

Sure, some will return to Trump, given that they can’t imagine voting for a Democrat, but when 100K or so voters in 6 or 7 swing states will determine the Electoral College outcome, Haley’s campaign has been very instructive.

I take this as a positive for Biden.
