Romney says any Democrat would be ‘an upgrade’ over Trump in 2024

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) signaled that nearly any candidate in the 2024 field, of either party, would be an “upgrade” over another term for former President Trump. “I’d be happy to support v…

This may've gotten buried but it's a very notable win for Democrats in Pennsylvania...

Democrats flipped this Pennsylvania county for first time in 100 years

Democrats gained control of one Pennsylvania county’s Board of Commissioners for the first time in 100 years following the concession of the incumbent Republican commissioner on Monday. After…

"Unofficial election results as of Monday showed Douglas had just a 55-vote lead over Saylor, a difference of .05 percent of the total vote. Incumbent commissioners George Hartwick, a Democrat, and board chairman Mike Pries, a Republican, both won reelection to their seats, each garnering about 27 percent of the vote for the three-person vote.

Republicans have controlled Dauphin County’s board of commissioners since 1919, according to PennLive.com."

Doug Burgum, Wealthy North Dakota Governor, Ends White House Run

The little-known former software executive had hoped his business acumen and relentless focus on the economy, energy and foreign policy would lift his campaign. It didn’t.

I am not looking forward to the Crossfire reboot with these two.

Colorado Supreme Court rules Trump is disqualified from presidency for Jan. 6 riot

The decision marks the first time a court has found him to be ineligible to return to the White House due to his conduct surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

It's fascinating and horrifying that it came to this. The SCOTUS handling will be something to see. I do think Trump should be banned from running again because of his actions but it's a dangerous precedent, especially as he is yet to be convicted of any charges related to Jan 6th.

 

[snuffbox]

Lol it was January 6 2021 not some pre-daguerreotype 18th century thing. Everyone saw it.

It still probably won’t matter unless Democrats can get a huge turnout (and a huge turnout in the right states) in 2024.

42 percent of GOP Iowa caucusgoers say ‘poisoning the blood’ remarks make them more likely to support Trump: poll

Forty-two percent of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers said that former President Trump’s recent remarks about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the country makes them more likely to support him…

When I’m right, I’m right.

Iowa is the 6th whitest state in America (Maine of course is the whitest) so that doesn't really prove anything about selfhating minorities.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well not that part, the first part about the Republican base of giving a shit about anything Trump says. He could be even more racist and they would still love him.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

He enables people to be the worst version of themselves with zero effort involved, is this shocking?

Trump rails after poll shows Haley within 4 points in New Hampshire

A poll released this week found Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley trails former President Trump by 4 points in New Hampshire, prompting online outrage from the former president. Accordi…

Chris Christie needs to get out of the race and endorse Haley ASAP if he really cares about stopping Trump.

I'd be amazed that this guy is still running if he wasn't...you know, DeSantis.

Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign stops all TV ad spending less than a month before Iowa and New Hampshire

A spokesperson for the GOP candidate’s presidential campaign said it has "the ability to be nimble and hyper targeted" in ad spending going forward.

www.nbcnews.com

However, if you want to read a juicier article, there's this NYT one about the DeSantis campaign. Highlights include saying the campaign is at the "making the patient comfortable" point, and one staffer calls him "Ted Cruz without the personality"

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Medium warm take…DeSantis would be dumb to drop out before Iowa considering all of the effort he has put in there. Unless he miraculously gets within 10 points of Trump, he should drop out immediately afterward

No more Maine potshots…for three hours.

oh wow and he was really likely to win Maine too.

Hey hey hey Maine went for Cruz in 2016!

Lost in all that is Nikki Haley fucking up when it comes to answering a question about the Civil War

 

[snuffbox]

I agree with Christie, she did that on purpose because she's just sleazy like that.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

"Sensible Republican" Nikki Haley also saying she'd pardon Trump if she were elected President.

 

[Gary]

Trump will be doing a town hall on Fox on the day of the CNN one that nobody will watch. Vivek I don't think is qualified, so he's instead doing an interview with Tim Pool because of course he is.

Trump presents interesting theory on how magnets work during rally in Iowa

If understood correctly, Trump is under the impression that pouring water on magnets causes them to stop working

Chris Christie is gonna obstruct his campaign to stop Trump just like he obstructed the George Washington Bridge.

Sonuvabitch took my advice!

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Haley and DeSantis are debating tonight. Ron needs to score some major points in this but I can only imagine how bad and weird he's going to look in 2 hours worth of reaction shots as Nikki talks. Nikki needs to say the Civil War was about Slavery and condemn Trump. How badly will she botch it?

Not having Vivek on there to make her look sympathetic is going to hurt her imo. In either case like most people I'll just catch the lowlights on social media.
