Nikki! lost to "none of the above" on Tuesday's primary. Congratulations to none of the above!!! Trump had yet ANOTHER record breaking performance on Thursday in the caucus, and secured all of Nevada's delegates. Nikki! doesn't stand a chance in hell. Go away Nikki! ....
Trump will now completely ROMP super Tuesday and Jack won't be able to keep pretending that Nikki! stands any sort of a chance.
I may not be an "R", but I'm a fiscal-Conservative -- and I'll tell you that this year especially, I'd jump at the chance to vote for a non-White, female candidate like Condoleezza Rice or Tulsi Gabbard! It's easy to contrast their experience and credentials with a "Blackish", female nothingness like Kamala-la-la Harris and see that -- yes -- a non-White female could indeed serve in the highest office in the land -- and quite possibly do a hell of a lot better job than any of the four male morons who've been our president during the 21st-century.
Well, that voter hasn't showed up in the R primaries. Haley is getting her ass kicked by the white male. As I said several times in this thread. No non white, non male will win the GOP. There's too many that will never vote for a non white non male person. As per the post I responded to. Who said they'd never vote for a woman.
Sorry, but that just a myth -- a comforting story that liberals tell each other to avoid the awful prospect that non-white voter groups are trending Republican.
Well, Dairy, I certainly won't pretend to tell you that you're wrong about this. Instead, I'll only restate what I first began to feel strongly back in 2017 -- that the Republican Party has been infiltrated by various kinds of anti-conservative doctrines and behaviors, and now it's too late. I genuinely believe that on its current track, the Republican Party will cease even to exist in ten years.... Trump will almost certainly be their nominee, and if he were somehow to win the election (which I cannot believe is possible), he'd simply go on with pushing economic policies that promote "stock markets über alles" -- and we'd proceed into the fiscal ditch of national debt-versus-GDP, and crushed interest rates that Trump presided over before... NOT that Biden's handlers strive toward anything any better.... Both political parties will cheerfully stand aside and let us destroy ourselves with far too much debt.... The only question that remains, as I see it, is how much longer will it take before the full horror of Orwell's "1984" sweeps over us and destroys everything that was once good about life in the United States...?
Not remotely what I have been saying. Of course the white male will get more votes. That's the difference between the general and the primary. A non white non male will never win the R primary today. Or the near future. It can't happen with those alive today above the age of 60. There's at least 1 more generation that has to die off.
Well, we are 40 yrs post Orwells so called demise. Since every great Nation eventually fails, it's likely someday that prediction will come true. But I won't worry about it, since I have no to little control. Except live my life and try to leave my little world a little better than when I got here.
I was countering Dairyair's Post #1807 in which she said, "As I said several times in this thread. No non white, non male will win the GOP. There's too many that will never vote for a non white non male person. As per the post I responded to. Who said they'd never vote for a woman." At that point I suggested Condoleezza Rice and Tulsi Gabbard as two excellent choices for the next president -- and BOTH of them are "non-White" and "non-male"....
There may be such a discussion (far less likely now while the T-virus burns through the left) but this poster has probably posted that same thing a hundred times. It's a talking point, not a beginning point for an honest discussion. As far as Condi and Tulsi...Tulsi is a Bernie Sanders "socialist" so I'm not sure I would love her domestic agenda, and Condi would have a lot of questions about her time in the Bush administration. I'm not sure she wants to come out of retirement for that kind of abuse. I find it easier to not limit candidates based on their demographics.
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis Haley Plans To Go the Distance Against Trump Jazmine Ulloa, New York Times
Finally! Steven Cheung got something right. 'Trump Spox Crudely Claims Nikki Haley Will ‘Drop Down And Kiss A** When She Quits’ GOP Primary' "New York Times political reporter Jonathan Swan tweeted out some coverage of Haley’s speech, writing, “Nikki Haley, in announcing she’s not dropping out: ‘I feel no need to kiss the ring. And I have no fear of Trump’s retribution. I’m not looking for anything from him.’” Cheung replied to that tweet by writing, “She’s going to drop down to kiss ass when she quits, like she always does.” cont: https://www.mediaite.com/politics/t...p-down-and-kiss-a-when-she-quits-gop-primary/
Nikki would get my vote. She's had a few blunders during her run, but she's a hell of a lot better choice than Trump or any Democrat.
A Republican presidential candidate has not won more than 12 percent of the Black vote in nearly half a century. Last time a republican presidential candidate won more than 42 percent Hispanic vote was in 2004. And you think this a liberal myth?
