RFK Jr. says "Texas is right.....".  

I actually really like RFK Jr. After going to his presidential site and reading his plans how he would help the country, he will definitely get my vote provided he is on the ballot in Texas. He has detailed how he'd fix almost every issue our country is already facing. 

 

His border plan is actually pretty good. Definitely a much better solution that Biden or Trump have come up with. 

 

One thing is for sure, Biden won't get my vote.

Uh Oh:  Nikki Haley Tweets Email She 'Received' Praising Her, but People See a Big Problem

[...] I think whoever was involved in this post from Haley is not going to fare well when word of this hits everywhere and the embarrassing blowback starts coming in.  I am curious as to what the explanation for this will be.  But doing shoddy work like this and trying to get away with it is just not a positive sign for the Haley campaign.  [...]

Democrats Aren't Preparing to Throw Kamala Harris Under Any Buses Just Yet

[...] The most popular version of the speculative scenario goes something like this:  Joe Biden has some sort of mystery malady and steps aside, Kamala Harris magically disappears from the scene, and Gavin Newsom floats in on a cloud to become the nominee.  [...]

She's going to have to kiss the ring sooner or later if she hopes to get the endorsement of the sitting POTUS in 2028 (Trump).

Nikki Haley's Explanation for Her Crushing Nevada Loss Is Pathetic

 

[...] 'None of these candidates' outvoted Haley 62.9 percent to 30.8 percent.  Even with no Trump in sight in this contest, Haley couldn't win.  The writing on the wall is massive and in red lettering: the GOP base is 'Never Nikki.'  The worst part is how she explained this humiliating loss, which was to claim that the ordinary was rigged.  [...]

This seems well-reasoned.  Reaction to it?

Democrats Are Not Going to Replace Biden as 2024 Candidate

 

Democrats have closed ranks around Joe Biden following the devastating revelations about his memory and mental acuity in the Hur Report.  With no pressure to withdraw and the mechanics of the primaries making it impossible for any other candidate to get on the ballot in most states, only Biden can withdraw from the race.

 

There is a mechanism outside the primary process that theoretically could lead to Biden being replaced.  But it would take a revolt of the entire Democratic Party to make it happen.  [...]

Despite persistent rumors that the Democrats will draft Michelle Obama for President, "she is not someone who likes politics," says David Axelrod. "I would be floored if she would consent to that. They feel that they gave ten years of their life to this," adding, "I have as much chance of dancing in the Bolshoi Ballet next year."

 

Crazy not crazy?
