I like Nikki Haley just fine, and I’m glad she’s a Republican, probably agree with her 85% of the time.

But while we talk Trump/RDS, it becomes clearer daily she’s going nowhere fast in this campaign. No money, no big ideas, and no pugilistic instincts to fire up a base, any … base.

At this rate Haley will be free on her Presidential campaign by Christmas.

And btw … her efforts are going better than Mike Pence’s, who somehow appears to have missed every day in the Trump era other than 1-6-21. Talk about someone with no constituency. …

My quick and dirty thoughts on the Senate. Focusing on only the "Big 7" races, the GOP is favored in WI and NC, Dems in NH unless the GOP nominates a good candidate who runs a strong two-month GE campaign. ... Nevada is strength and strength, with both parties putting up a solid option. As much as some want to deny it, the dynamics of 2022 slightly favor Herschel Walker to win in GA so long as he can seem minimally informed in the debate with Warnock. PA is a weird race, ...

Alright, a few days after DeSantis Rant #1, we are going to have to roll into #2. And this is his prospects as a Presidential candidate, and for whatever reason the bizarre obsession of many on Twitter that he somehow resembles Scott Walker. A take of unadulterated absurdity. ... The take is, effectively, Scott Walker was not ready for prime time, and neither is Ron DeSantis. We hear it from two places. The first and most common is left Twitter. Let's be very clear about one thing, the left is terrified of Ron DeSantis. They never want to see him ...

Alright, we need to talk (yet again) about Ron DeSantis. Apparently some of you seemingly are missing what an incredible politician he is. Let's go through it (long).

Plucked from obscurity to win a 2012 House seat, he spent six quiet years in Congress. In 2018, he decided ... to run what appeared to be a quixotic run for Florida Governor. Florida Republicans had settled on mainstream Adam Putnam in what was shaping up to bad a pretty bad GOP environment. DeSantis outflanks Putnam to the right and wins.

@kevinbaggett @jbarro @BillKristol Yes, dipshits like me that graduated cum laude from Duke Law School and received the highest score on the Texas bar exam out of 2300 prospective attorneys. My favorite political maxim - claims of voter fraud and voter suppression are the province of partisan hacks. @kevinbaggett @jbarro @BillKristol Here's my actual belief on voting. You should present an ID when voting, but for the few of us who don't have normal IDs, it should be simple to obtain one for voting purposes (and barriers to that are wrong). Early in-person voting is a really good thing no matter ...
