Is it ironic that the people whom are saying there is a very, very slim likelihood of a Nikki Haley GOP primary win are some of the same folks who were shocked by January 6th and didn’t see it coming (which in and of itself is irony in an enigma, as Haley was shocked to the point of not even being able to watch the insurrection)? The likelihood is strong you won’t see this point made in any mainstream media, especially with legacy media pundits like Lawrence O’Donnell, who actually provide constructive credit to Nikki for doing anything “right” with her campaign. Take a few minutes to view the clip below.
Cohen gets major points for not mischaracterizing #45s position as “crushing” Haley; because he really fucking is not! The headline here is that the GOP is very split. Very. There are of course fractures with the DEMS (Forward Operating Base Israel, for example), but when has ever a DEM outperformed the GOP in the craft of everything doucherie?
Are Biden’s campaign people paying attention to the underlying cause, not just the symptoms, of why the GOP incumbent (who by his own logic is still the POTUS) is technically barely winning?Mainstream media certainly does not seem to be paying attention to the differences within these distinctions. Meanwhile, Harris Biden, to date, continue to campaign with the same abandon and arrogant complacent complicity that lost Hilary Clinton her election.

essay could have just as easily been titled “Warning Signs for Biden.” Jay is correct in saying the GOP nomination is locked. However, he is not right in discounting an abundance of algebraic political variables.Miserable Terrible Grouch (MTG) and Rape Gaetz may be the face of MAGAGOP, but the masters of the dark universe they are not. The hidden faces of autocracy obviously see the trends of a general election outcome, and are less than comfortable with the razor thin margins #45 could narrowly beat Biden with, or lose by - though we already know the autocratic formula to address the loss. Not to mention these darkness forces really control the purse strings, forcing Rumplethinskin to hock Nike’s. Because he was previously so successful at selling steaks…running casinos. Yeah.
I recently advised a staunch Democrat to put less effort in hating or focusing on MAGAGOP and -#45. Personally I believe the formula in effort and or energy should be 30% on MAGAGOP, 70% on DIMS. Especially as we have already been through an election of Joe vs The Orange Volcano. We know what those election results will be….well, the margins will be even closer this time. Why not focus ahead with the same 70/30 formula on what a Harris Biden vs Haley election campaign may look like? Yes HARRIS Biden, especially if the reason Haley picks up the GOP fumble is because Winnie the Coup kicked another bucket besides one filled with extra crispy. Especially because Harris’ numbers are worse than Haley’s. Agreed. Circumstantial scenario at best, but variables in political algebraic equations always amplify what seems impossible, right? January 6th? 9-11? Or not?
Maybe more of that energy should be placed behind ensuring Californians do not have the low voter turnout currently being speculated. Especially for guaranteeing that the recent vacating of Diane Feinstein’s senate seat isn’t squandered to a political party of insurrectionists.

But of course status quo bullshit within the party of DIMS has its’ place too in making sure “winning” at all cost, even if the chosen currency is fucking around with ethics. Look, at the California Senatorial race.
“Porter’s campaign has accused Schiff and his supporters of running ads intentionally spotlighting Garvey to lift the former baseball star’s profile with Republicans, on the premise that having a GOP opponent would presumably be an easier match for Schiff in the fall.”

Speaking of easier matches…Remember what I said earlier about Kuo’s essay title being converted to warning signs for Biden, not just for Trump? Fly into the West Wing, or the VEEP office, right now as a fly on the wall, and I will bet my winning lottery ticket you will find not one staff member prepared to do campaign battle with Wile E. Haley. This would not be an easy match, as she is currently queen of the Independents (not this Independent by the way…her lack of character is too stomach churning for me). Harris Biden’s campaign handlers certainly desire the easy match of two old white men duking it out (even if close election results ventilates another coup). Even with Co-POTUS Harris as more anchor than oar, not making a splash since breaking a smaller glass ceiling, while Haley aspires to break an even larger one. Haley’s current (discounting the primary) status certainly seems like more of a GOP general election lockup than for both Biden or #45. A status enjoyed by the largest political group of labeled voters. Biden Harris folks are…shitting…bricks…right…now over Haley! Says the fly on the wall(s). One only needs to look at King Conservative Resurrectionist @Steven Schmidt’s writings from over a year ago to see this.
GOP misogyny. How would Haley counter one of her biggest obstacles at club testosterone? Well…she already sold her soul once to work for Orange Julius. Twice by being an early Trumpologist; before her campaign gained momentum by becoming a cyclops in the land of the blind. Thrice by saying she would grant a domestic terrorist a presidential pardon. Will she go for an even quad? What soul or character she has left to squander is demonstrated by her commitment to a fools errand. She appears to be very good at these errands.
I hope people are paying attention to Wile E. Haley, placing little belief in what she says, and none in what she does or doesn’t do. No matter how much #45 real talk she does to satisfy DIM schadenfreude, or to do legacy media’s fucking job. Even when it’s effective to assisting DIMS paltry campaign strategy. Unfortunately, however, it’s likely the most inattentive students will be Fickle Independents and Conservative Ressurectionist. Voters identifying as Independents make a very clear majority of those voters. Gallup continues to show DIM and GOOPs in a second place dead tie. Practically. This is all contributing to why Biden’s campaign efforts fail when he tires to bring policy homework to the debate. Too often in a single point failure format.
Are we seeing the devil you know scenario? Maybe.
Does the battle for Democracy come down to DIMS getting over their Trump Derangement Syndrome long enough to stop hating a candidate that Biden can barley beat, to instead face a candidate that could possibly beat his ass in the general election?
Hope is a poor platform for planning.
However.
We may have to get use to saying President Haley.🤮
The same GOOP dog, just with different fleas.

And now for a #slowtravel pit stop.
A short walk in our foster neighborhood to the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum to see an afternoon viewing of a Western named “Buck and the Preacher.”
This 1972 classic stars Harry Belefonte and Sydney Poitier.
As an added treat one of Belefonte’s daughters, Shari, gave a brief introduction of the film.
It’s a wonderful production and movie. You should watch it.
It also reminds me movie time is extra special sometimes in LA, as film is the backbone of this economy.
No Happy Hour this time. We are trying to cut cocktail and coffee occasions to….occasions.
Regardless…

Everything that happens in this garbage-wash election is gravy for Haley. She's been the RNC's number 1 draft pick for ten years now,they were even able to make her appointment to a foreign-policy position a condition of their support for Fraud Boy; and they kept her there just long enough to get the campaign ribbon without being besmirched by the Fraudministration's failures.
Now she's running for POTUS; not just as an "insurance policy", but to get the public used to the idea when she runs for real as the nominee in '28. If Fraud Boy loses, then the field is all hers; the RNC won't encourage any new challengers to pop up after.
