Our political status today

 A Pointless Republican Primary › American Greatness  "President Trump will almost certainly be the Republican nominee. He is far ahead in every primary poll. His supporters originally worried that he would be too polarizing and would go down in flames in the general election, but it appears he will also win the general election against incompetent, unpopular, and increasingly demented Joe Biden.

"Indictments, lawfare, media propaganda, and phalanx-style opposition from the organs of conservatism have all been arrayed against Trump. He has also earned the contempt of the managerial class’s elite: the judges, the academics, and the think tankers, as well as the GS and SES class around Washington, D.C.

"Even so, his enemies have barely dented him."

"Trump Always Understood the Game

"Many of these groups and organizations were hostile to the Republican Party before Trump’s arrival. In conducting himself, Trump understood something almost no other Republican has: trying to earn the approval of one’s opponents is a fool’s errand. So he never even tried, unlike George “Compassionate Conservatism” Bush or John “the Maverick” McCain and, worst of all, finks and turncoats like Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Jeff Flake." . . .

Be aware that Democrats are today prone to violence; destructive violence.

Radical Democrats Look Like Stone Cold Tyrants Right Now—And Normal Democrats Can See It, Too - The Lid

. . ."Writing for NBC News, Jonathan Allen, Katherine Doyle, and Dasha Burns write, “Colorado hands Trump a political gift by barring him from the ballot,” in which even Democrats worry that the push to disenfranchise Trump and his millions of supporters will backfire and help Trump in the general election against incumbent President Joe Biden, who is already trailing Trump in national polls with less than a year to go to the election." . . .

Nikki Haley: The Republican candidate for Democrats - Andrea Widburg

Nikki Haley often says very conservative things. For example, I truly appreciate her stalwart support for Israel (although I do not appreciate her seeming efforts to get America involved in a boots-on-the-ground hot war on Israel’s behalf). However, the thing about Nikki is that, when push comes to shove, she always retreats to a soft leftism. Voters know this, and two recent news stories highlight both problems.
