Haley 32% to trump's 39% in NH.

Chris Christie now suspending his presidential campaign. Now the race is really getting closer to Trump v. Haley for the Republican primary.

I wonder how much money he raked in campaigning because he never had a shot at winning the nomination.

It would be interesting to see a poll showing how many never Trumpers increased after J6. Don’t really trust polls but would be interesting to see.

Assume this would change quite a bit with CC dropping out

Apparently the Merriam brothers and Noah Webster were woke. Who knew.

A Florida school district last month pulled the Merriam-Webster dictionary from library shelves to comply with a state law banning books with descriptions of "sexual conduct."

And in today's edition of leopards eating faces.....

It's absurd," O'Reilly told Newsweek on Friday. "Preposterous."

On Thursday, the Florida Freedom to Read Project obtained a list of over 1,000 book titles that were temporarily removed from the Escambia County School District, pending an investigation. Two of the books on the list were written by O'Reilly—the conservative pundit—titled Killing Jesus: A History, and Killing Reagan: The Violent Assault That Changed a Presidency.

Wow, so it's NOT about politics - It really is about protecting kids from content that is inappropriate for kids! Thanks for illuminating the truth, Paul!

I knew that too.

He's out.

He's out.

Did he run out of money? Figured he would wait until New Hampshire. However, I don’t think anyone is stopping the Trump Train to the nomination. His margin of victory last night has to have the Biden campaign trembling for sure.

His margin of victory last night was exactly what was expected in Iowa. New Hampshire will tell us if there's a chance for anyone else. I think Haley is the only one with any chance, and her losing to DeSantis last night is a bad sign. But if one of them wins New Hampshire, it's game on. If not, Trump is going to be the nominee unless he's prevented by the courts (in which case shit will get very, very ugly).

31% of Iowa Republicans polled said Trump not fit for office if convicted.
Of course he's already convicted of sexual assault. If the Florida case was allowed to proceed, that would seem to be an easy conviction on taking/keeping top secret documents.
But, if those 31% stay home, or vote for Biden in a head to head, that would be a difference maker.
