The state of play in the gop
The semi- but not quite wholly respectable chances of Nikki Haley’s nomination may have gone up in smokes. I mean, I guess I should look at the editorial headlined that even conservatives falling for this to see if that veers into the lack of nuance of not taking an answer on the causes of the Civil War that does not mention slavery (It’s current year!) or if it beers into Haley’s “liberal set up” line — as though we don’t know that exists. And I gather if chances did not suggest the need for a perfect strike, unless this actually does not count as even any kind of hit for a Republican primary electorate, it throws her off of winning New Hampshire, so — game about over.
The deus-ex-machina of 14th Amendment state disavowals for Trump loom as something, though it is hard to figure what. The tedium is, of course, that I can see the point for this, and I can see why it might as well drive forward despite the “partisans will use it against Dems” claim. Yep. There the governor of Texas chimed in, saying Texas should dump Biden from the ballot, because of … Hm… Border. A loopy definition of the supposed “treason”. The question here is it some deus- ex – mechanisms process — does that still represent Haley as the second most likely winner of the Republican nomination — just now moved from slim to slimmer?
