    Looks like Trump has humiliated Haley tonight in her home state, winning by ~20%. Trump also beat her among women and Blacks. I don't know what The View idiots will do now since they criticized Iowans for being too White. Perhaps they will pummel South Carolinians for being too Black.

    Gavin Newsome says Haley is a great surrogate Democrat and he hopes she stays in the race as long as possible. Haley is drawing Democrats in open primaries and making a lot of money as she hasn't won a single race.

    I'm really annoyed that they rejiggered absentee ballots here and basically purged the list so we must reapply. It used to be seniors and special cases but now "anyone" (hmm) is eligible.

    Our Primary is 2/27 but they allow early voting so I'll figure out where to go and get there today I guess.

    She is clinging to the hope that somehow Trump will be eliminated from the race.

    I’m hearing that Haley may be planning to run on a unity ticket with a Democrat and it could be announced after Super Tuesday.. She talks a lot about the need to unify the electorate and how Trump and Biden can’t do that but she could. She’s getting a lot of Democrat money and votes so it seems like a possibility. No Labels is the political group.

    What could go wrong?

    In a 3 way race what if no candidate gets enough delegates for the Electoral College?
    It seems like a way to allow more Democrat cheating.

    Pretty sad political motive. I understand she is raking in the funds from Democrat donors who have issues with Biden, so she is getting rich as she goes along.

    Newsom is biden supporter, 100% and the big cities in CA (big metro) are all over-run with democrats, or Trump Haters. I heard somewhere Newsom may be the one they somehow try to slip into the Presidency. If we want our whole country to look like California, vote newsom :mad:

    This is exactly what I've been thinking. It is scary to me. I hope the radical nurcase is wrong and Trump will be ok.

    I understand that Newsome is polling worse than Biden in national Democrat in-house polling. Otherwise they would have already done the switch. I think they want to keep him unsullied for 2028. Michelle Obama is also in the mix, but she says she doesn't want it and she too is polling poorly nationally. Of course Harris is Biden's insurance. Biden won't be removed by an Article 25 action because Kamala would then become President and everybody hates her.

    Seems that much of the advanced world is coming tro the understanding that capitalism is better than socialism, Hope its not too late,
    I don't watch most these videos, I skip to the end after a general idea, this one last 12 minutes.
    I see the Philippines are also leaving socialism. I watched part of that president speech at CPAC also.
    If we Christians do have more time on this earth ,maybe some hope.

    Is the world changing political systems?

    https://www.britannica.com/topic/communism

    At one time about one-third of the world's population lived under communist governments, most notably in the republics of the Soviet Union. Today communism is the official form of government in only five countries: China, North Korea, Laos, Cuba, and Vietnam. However, none of these meet the true definition of communism. Instead, they can be said to be in a transitional stage between the end of capitalism and the establishment of communism. Such a phase was outlined by Karl Marx, and it came to include the creation of a dictatorship of the proletariat. While all five countries have authoritarian

    I just read that Koch has withdrawn financial support from Nikki's campaign.

    "Following the former South Carolina governor’s performance in her home state’s primary on Saturday, in which she trailed former President Donald Trump, the Republican frontrunner, by about 20 percent of the vote, Americans For Prosperity (AFP) CEO Emily Seidel said on Sunday that the group’s policy arm had decided it was time to “take stock” of its campaign spending."

    The article is behind a paywall.
