Nikki Haley would be a bad idea for both Trump and Haley. When we Racketeers recorded our most recent podcast episode last Friday, I said that Ron DeSantis’s campaign was crumbling. Little did I know how right I was. “He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear” DeSantis said as he endorsed the old Republican guard of yesteryear. 😡 As I’ve grown and matured, I’ve come to realize that love is what it’s all about. As a great shirt and bumper sticker say, “Love God and love people.” By @captainkudzu Republican politicians need to consider that endorsing Trump may not look as good in a couple of years as it does now. And even if he wins, a spot in the Trump Administration may be a career-ender rather than a stepping stone. The Racketeers talk New Hampshire on our new podcast A week ago, the conventional wisdom was that Haley would be the primary beneficiary of Christie’s departure. This prediction was based on a smattering of second-choice polls, and it seems to have been borne out by two new polls of New Hampshire voters. The fact that Republicans don’t acknowledge that Trump lost goes a long way toward explaining Trump’s commanding lead. Republican voters think of him as an incumbent and he polls as such. My newest #cancer blog post: a surprise blessing to kick off 2024 By Melanie Zanona and Kaanita Iyer, CNN The Justice Department has released new footage from the January 6 , 2021, attack on the US Capitol that shows a dramatic moment of rioters shouting through broken glass at two Republican lawmakers. The video — obtained by CNN on Saturday, whi Never forget January 6 and never let it be repeated. I would prefer a senile Biden to a sane Trump. Having said that, I don’t think Biden is senile and I’m not sure Trump is sane. Please bear with me as I channel my inner Nostradamus. I put on my Nostradamus hat America is different; you can say whatever you want. We are suffering from free speech toxicity, brought about by too much of a good thing. A joint op-ed with Steve Berman Merry Christmas! If anyone thinks it’s a slam dunk, I’d point out that Colorado’s Democratic appointees split 4-3. From @captainkudzu The Colorado Supreme Court just threw a monkey wrench - if not a hand grenade - into the 2024 elections. The world is sympathetic to victims, but has limited patience for retribution and preventive war. There will be no peace in the Middle East, but what Israel can hope for is an uneasy truce based by keeping Hamas unable to mount attacks. This may require a reoccupation of Gaza. By @captainkudzu
