The real question is:

what is wrong with minorities who support Biden? https://t.co/8HBCzL8GPf
I'm not surprised DeSantis dropped out and endorsed Trump. After spending a ton of resources in Iowa he finished a distant second place. He had been losing ground to Trump for months in the polls, he was trailing badly in Tuesday's primary, and he was running out of money.

They have multiple issues:
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 21, 2024
- They see Ukraine as a European, not an American problem
- Ukraine's government is corrupt and a drain on our budget deficit; we're enabling unrealistic objectives like annexation of Crimea; Russia see Ukraine in NATO and the EU as a security issue
No, he didn't. What kind of idiot thinks DeSantis ran a Never Trump campaign when he said he would support a nominated Trump, even if convicted, during the debates? https://t.co/1NVBfdvuZF

Probably not true. According to Gallup, about 29% of voters are registered Dems. About a quarter of Republicans don't support Trump. A plurality of independents currently support Trump among the decided. A minority of Denocrats don't support Biden. Maybe a plurality of NT Dem. https://t.co/vYz7TcHJs9

I was a Never Trump Republican in 2015. I personally never supported DeSantis, who seemed to run as a younger, more effective/electable Trumpist alternative without Trump's baggage. https://t.co/kT1N4SFr58

I empathize with Buffalo over the blown field goal attempt against KC. In 1998 the Vikings were the best NFL team but blew a late FG attempt to ice the NFC Championship. Atlanta scored a game-tying TD & kicked a FG in overtime to win.https://t.co/OxGQLZLWX8

"He missed it"
PS Besides the Trumpkin troll's bad eyesight (I am a fair-skinned Franco-American but darker conplexions are not unusual) [Haley has a darker skin tone} his comparison to Cherokee Lizzie confuses south Asian with Native American. The latter have a reddish vs wheatish skin tone

This seems to be an obscure reference to a defense bill which Trump vetoed and was overwritten on renaming military bases named after Confederate figures. https://t.co/HuNkfX0wl4

No. He's not the first to be nominated 3 times; Nixon, FDR, William Jennings Bryan, and Grover Cleveland, off the top of my head.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 22, 2024
He's been popular with the base, he has weak, lesser-known competition, and he's facing an unpopular incumbent and appears competitive https://t.co/pb3w9w9HHs
Not a surprise. Nancy Mace has gone full Trumpkin over the past year. Her campaign, thinking I still lived in SC, tried to recruit me (a libertarian/conservative) as a volunteer. She's become an attack dog on Biden and I took exception to bogus Burisma talking points. https://t.co/HTYxbZ7I7s
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 22, 2024
No. We've survived both Trump and Biden.

SCOTUS is correct; national defense is a federal, not. a state responsibility. Trespassing does not justify treating human beings like cattle and risking the lives or health of refugees. Straight up, what Texas has been doing is immoral and unconstitutional.

Well, WWE swerved us over Seth Rollins' status. I can't believe he has been medically cleared through Wrestlemania. I halfway thought Damian Priest was working with Gunther as a distraction to cash in MITB, perhaps guaranteeing a title shot to him.

Leftists continue to falsely and repeatedly assert Trump was an insurrectionist, (And I'm a Never Trumper.) He specifically called for a lawful protest Not 1 of his 91 felony counts references insurrection. https://t.co/er4yW9L4WG

Newsom should know better than to mock Ron DeSantis' withdrawal. He himself still hasn't made a penny on all his Hillary Clinton merch. #sarcasm

A lot of us still can't believe Cuomo got another job in the news after his violation of professional ethics while at CNN.

As I write, Trump seems to have won the NH primary by about 11 points in a 2-person race. By any objective standard, he underperformed, coming off the Iowa caucuses against a distant third finisher, who has trailed by nearly twice that margin in polls https://t.co/iW7fgnWgNT

#NoOneWantsToAdmit in his young adult years he cast votes for POTUS who won and sucked at his job.

Republicans seemed determined to nominate Trump for a third straight nomination. It may be a case of being careful of what you wish for. Do you really think a soon-to-be-convicted criminal will be elected President
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
The Trumper tantrum over the very audacity of even one challenger daring to stay in the race after the first primary is familiar nauseating & pathetic. I don't follow his social media account, but his obsessive prolific flood of personal, capitalized insulting posts are abnormal
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
Biden's running on abortion (not a federal issue), "democracy", and a dubious record on the inflationary economy built on unprecedented debt and spending and unfixed senior entitlements may resonate with the party base but is toxic with the independents he needs to win.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
GDP growth of 4.9% reflects one quarter's figures, includes the effects of inflation and unsustainable effects of higher inventories and government spending. Exports also are questionable in a sluggish global economy led by dragging performance in China and Germany.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
Trump went ballistic over his lie that Haley claimed "victory" in NH. I personally heard her congratulate Trump on his victory. But the facts remain he was expected to win by 20% and did half of that and he lost by a landslide among independents, which he needs to win the WH.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
Trump seems to conveniently treat primaries as sudden death playoffs. There are 50 states, not one. Trump has multiple trials upcoming, not to mention at his age he could have a health crisis at any time. He is not a king. He does worse than Haley against Democrats.

@elonmusk it looks like X is shadowbanning me again. I have now had an improbable long string of posts getting less than a handful of impressions.

Cartoonist Michael Ramirez has an amusing political cartoon mocking Ron DeSantis for running a Trump Lite campaign. Nope, Trumpkins like the bad boy original: the more impeachments and felony charges, the better. His obsessive insulting all-caps social media posts and nicknames

Donald "Sore Loser" Trump refused to attend a single debate, pretending to be focused on Biden. His unhinged victory speech viciously attacked Nikki Haley, someone who served in his own cabinet, apparently for not kissing his ring, channeling his inner sexist asshole.

Former Congressman and Reagan OMB director David Stockman has written a new bestselling book "Trump's War on Capitalism".
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 24, 2024
Stockman's appraisal of RINO Trump from the book promo below is spot on and closely parallels my own views. Recall Stockman resigned over deficits... pic.twitter.com/757kWZFNVJ
If chivalry isn't dead in the South, SC will rebuke the jackass Trump for his unprovoked attack on former Gov. Haley in the coming primary. I'm tired of Trump's uncivil behavior. My dad never treated my mom like that; it's time people stopped excusing his juvenile behavior.

It is not up to Texas to enforce or adjudicate US immigration violations under US law and the Constitution. Treating foreign visitors inhumanely, especially refugees, is a crime against humanity https://t.co/9AsVDExaLT

Idiot actors try and fail to rationalize uncivil SOBs like RINO Trump. I'm tired of self-entitled entertainers boring the rest of us with their political rubbish.

Roe, affirmative action and student debt bailouts were unconstitutional interventions by the judicial or executive branches. The general government is strictly limited in what it can do under the Constitution no matter what incompetent leftist justices decide.

Steele is right of course. Except Trump won't recognize references to Moses or Jesus. He didn't get that far in cheap hotel room nightstand Bibles waiting on his adulterous mistresses. #sarcasm https://t.co/Pbuz9u9p3P

Hell no. If you think a Trumpkin can win a statewide race in Maine, you've lost touch with reality. Trumpkins inly make up maybe a third of the party base at the most.

Constitutionally illiterate rubbish. Sen. Collins could vote third party or even write in a vote for say, Nikki Haley. She doesn't have to settle for RINO Trump

Yes. In fact, I recall on a business trip and meeting an older Latina room maid. She probably couldn't speak much English but she flashed the friendliest smile and took pride in her hard work. I felt blessed meeting such a sweet lady.

Reports that Trump wants to scuttle current border settlement negotiations in order to use the issue against Biden in the fall election campaign are yet another example is Trump putting his own personal interests over those of America.
