Jane Psaki edging herself on MSNBC at the thought Hayley might do something in this primary. She's going to be dissapointed.
Project 2025 is seriously scary stuff. 1933 Germany stuff.The notion of norms will be considered both quaint and antiquated once the radical right wing agenda starts to unfold.
They’ve given you the playbook. With a Republican Senate, House and SCOTUS, America will wonder what hit it by 2028, and even the notion of a presidential election cycle might be a wistful musing by then!

She is hoping that somewhere along the line, in one of these legal cases, he will turn public opinion or find himself in jail and she will be the nominee.The more I see Haley i see the kind of opponent Putin puts up against himself for an election.
She's carrying on under the pretence she will win the nomination.
Undoubtedly. Her main problem, however, will likely be the lengths to which her financial backers are prepared to back her ‘hope’.She is hoping that somewhere along the line, in one of these legal cases, he will turn public opinion or find himself in jail and she will be the nominee.
Agreed. She seems to think she can stay in the race. Who knows?Undoubtedly. Her main problem, however, will likely be the lengths to which her financial backers are prepared to back her ‘hope’.
It is certainly shaping up to be an uninspiring contest, though one not without intrigue. Alas, the intrigue comes mostly for all the wrong reasons. I’ve long accepted that both will lead their parties into November and that Trump’s legal distractions cannot be relied upon as the means to prevent him regaining power. In terms of the campaign, then, it remains to be seen whether Biden can make the ‘threat to democracy’ line stick, particularly if/when the cases against Trump come to no resolution. At that point, it will boil down to how confident Americans are based on Biden’s record and how apathetic Americans are when faced again with the same choice. Invoking a higher power might be the right call…Agreed. She seems to think she can stay in the race. Who knows?
It all seems inevitable and I fear for the country. And, I have become more and more shocked, stunned and ashamed by the politics of America.
NONE of this based well for the future. Not Trump running, nor Biden running against him, or even Biden winning.
One is too stoopid (intellectually) to be President and has already declared he intends to be a Dictator, while the other is so far past his prime as a candidate as to make it painful, even for someone who will definitely have to vote for him, to cast that ballot.
There is literally NOTHING to look forward to in this “race,” if you can call it that for the Septuagenarian and the Octogenarian in the contest.
Anyone see Gavin Newsom on Bill Maher this past week? One can only hope!
Please God, save us all.

We've both mentioned apathy and that could be key. It will also be interesting to see what impact, if any, third-party candidates have, especially No Labels. An election of fine margins might see a party from the margin play an important role.My concern is that Democrats are experts at cutting their noses off to spite their face and lack the pragmatism of Republicans.
The apathy of the current crop of young voters, and the feeling that the black vote will look at the inner cities and wonder if anything will ever get better for them, might be the few percentage points that tip the balance.
I can only hope that women realize what’s at stake for them and the working poor understand that Trump openly despises them, regardless of the BS that comes out of his pie hole!
I hope the next 10 months only serve to highlight just how crazy the orange gibbon really is and how dangerous he would be for America and the world.
From your lips…… or the Democrats could have Newsom in place and be set for 16 years in office.
