2024 Campaign+Election Miscellany

[temporal1]

It’s early. It’s begun.

Nov 15 2022: Trump announced his intentions last year.
i’m not at all bothered by a second Trump presidency. He’s not the only good possibility.

Today: Nikki Haley

Ben Shapiro / “The View FREAKS OUT over Nikki Haley 2024 Bid” / -14min

Description:
Nikki Haley has officially announced that she is running for president in 2024.
She's starting out with some decent polling numbers, but the media is not happy about it.

Fwiw, Ben S is not a fan of DJT. He seems to favor Ron Desantis so far? If it matters.

About The View: i don’t. never have. gross.

Personally, i favor Kristi Noem, Governor, SD. i’m far from decided. i’m not in a hurry.
She has not hinted at interest in 2024.

This topic is not intended to be limited to conservatives. MISCELLANY: We’ll see what unfolds.

This is not one of those annoying topics asking for “good things.”

Most of the establishment "right wing" is pushing hard for DeSantis (since he's the perfect example of an empty-suit donor class establishment politician) over Trump. Nimrata Randhawa-Haley would be another example of the kind of empty-shell that the donor class absolutely loves: either of these candidates will continue the wholesale excavation of America into continuing to let big business strip-mine the country of anything left of value and make sure all of that wealth continues to accrue to the top 0.1%.

Today: Nikki Haley

She has done well as governor and as ambassador to the UN. I like her, as far as I know her.

Josh, what exactly bothers you about her record or things she has said? You have strong words, but you haven't said anything specific.

He seems to be the choice for the "Trumpism without Trump" crowd.

We could ask you the same thing. What meritorious things do you think she has done as governor or UN ambassador that would make you like her?

When Dylan Roof shot people at a black church in South Carolina, she handled it very well. That's really the first time that she came to my attention. I think she has been strong on the position that she is the governor for all Americans who lived in her state.

She also seems intelligent and articulate. She has been willing to make some risky decisions, such as taking down the Confederate flag from the Capitol building in South Carolina, a Deep South state, because of its meaning to many black people who live in the state, especially after the Dylan Roof shooting.

She hasn’t impressed me so far with her start. If she is no different from Trump, why not vote for the real thing?

you may be correct, or moreso than not.
do you have thoughts on Kristi Noem? - not an msm darling.

Tulsi Gabbard?
Kyrsten Synema?
Larry Elder?

none of these have announced. msm loves to ignore each one.

Tulsi+Kyrsten are interesting in that, like DJT, they left the DNC. (not that either is RNC, yet, anyway.)
There are 3rd parties. i believe Larry Elder is Libertarian.

Kyrsten Sinema is a pro-Choice openly LGBT Senator. I don't see what appeal she would have with Republican primary voters. She will almost certainly not win re-election in her own state. I can't imagine what sort of national appeal she would have.

Completely beholden to big business and the establishment. (Granted, this is a complaint that could be levied at a lot of Republicans.) But some like DeSantis and "Haley" are particularly egregious. There's not really any "there" there.
