2024 Primary

[kalm]

I don't see anyway that those numbers hold up - no way does the Democratic nominee almost split the Black vote nor does the nominee not only lose, but crushingly lose the Hispanic vote. I know voting patterns, especially among minorities, are far more fluid than the Democrats would like, but I don't see them changing that significantly in 2024, especially towards Trump of all people.

Crucial to the Republicans in November is the female vote - I don't think the numbers yet show how pissed off they are about having a right taken away because they're being quiet about it, which should have alarm bells ringing. 40 years of marriage have schooled me to keep my head down when they're quiet. So many Republicans are incels that they will be caught completely by surprise by the female vote.

I agree with both of these posts. ^

STUART VARNEY: The president returns from his Caribbean vacation today. Who is going to be the unlucky guy who delivers the bad news?

The latest poll numbers are terrible. With 11 months to the election, Biden is losing support among key constituents. The people who put him in the White House are turning on him.


In 2020, Biden carried 87% of the Black vote. Now he’s down to 63%.

In 2020, he took 65% of the Hispanic vote. Now he’s down to 34%.

You don't seem to understand how long 11 months is in American politics.

I do, Hillary taught me that, I thought she was gonna win

and what’s up with Billy Bob Clinton…. Visiting The Virgin Island of sun and sin on Epsteins jet is not a good look

everyone thought she was going to win, thats why they had to run an Independent against her for window dressing in the primary and it wound up costing her the election when the lefties found something else to do on election day

we all wait eagerly for the salacious details!

Nikki Haley surges in New Hampshire and Iowa polls ahead of final debate before GOP caucus

Haley scored 32% compared to 39% for Trump in a new CNN survey of Granite State voters, with rival Ron DeSantis languishing in fifth place with 5%.

A separate poll of voters in Iowa, where the GOP caucus kicks off the voting Monday, showed Haley and DeSantis locked in a virtual tie with about 15% support, far behind Trump who scored 51%.

Well, if you insist on conparing, one is fat. One is morbidly obese.

Haley gonna overtake Trump in New Hampshire

Perhaps. But then she’ll finish 3rd in the convoluted Iowa caucus where Desantis has gone all in, where we probably won’t find out who won for days (remember 2016?). Then she’s gonna get trounced by Trump in her home state of SC, and it will be over.

5th conk debate on CNN now from Iowa..Down to Desantis vs Haley..

1st time I’ve watched CNN in like forever..

[LeadBolt]

I would love to see a maximum age limit to go along with the minimum.

No one can be elected President if they will be 72 at the time of their inauguration or some other reasonable suggestion.

We don’t need another geriatric President.

Morbidly obese is still fat so they're both fat.

I’m not really liking her but it just seems she’s getting bumped up the rankings and for what?

I think she's a neo con and I don't really like her either but she's better than any of the other buffoons still in the race.

She's getting bumped because she's an alternative to trump and because of all the remaining Republican candidates, she has the best chance of winning the general election.
