Originally posted by chancellor View PostIt's Nikki Haley. Has been for a while. Trump could have won this election, and she'd have still spiked Pence in a primary. A lot can happen in four years, but she's putting the pieces in place, has support from some serious money, and she has serious political chops.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Originally posted by chancellor View PostDunno about optimistic view of the GOPs base or no, but as you noted, she's a woman and a minority and already won governor of SOUTH CAROLINA. If she can win in South Carolina, she can win anywhere, and in the entire nation in a GOP primary. Mind you, as Feral noted, her competition just isn't that strong, either.---------------------------------------------

There is little doubt in my mind that Trump will not be convicted as Republicans are more worried about not having a primary challenge from a Trump pick. It is very ironic in that by not convicting they are essentially giving the party over to Trump and his ilk. Lincoln would be rolling over in his grave. If I am of the Ben Sasse variety, I abandon the GOP brand at work with other to form a moderately conservative third-party, which IMO, people are screaming for to break this logjam of partisanship."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

I think Trump rebranded the GOP as the outsider party and grabbed a whole bunch of disaffected blue collar voters that had typically been democratic union workers in the past. If the GOP can manage to not alienate these guys, while returning the party to normalcy and bringing back the Lincoln project GOP through "Fiscal Responsibility" then they will be all the stronger for it.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

Ugh, the GOP is such a dumpster fire. As many as 15 GOP Senators, aka the jurists in this proceeding, were not even present during portions of the proceedings. Some were falling asleep, some were on their phones, some were looking at maps (presumably to try to locate their spines). One GOP huckster referred to the Trump impeachment team as "our side". Three GOP Senators even fucking met with Trump's impeachment team last night! What the hell? Just the absolute worst, corrupt cowards. And this is the "law and order" party? Get the fuck outta here with that nonsense.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
