Even for Trump, the Victor Orban visit seems crazy.

What is the point other than to reaffirm his affinity for dictators and strongmen? Are they really just having a playdate at Mar A Lago ?
Do Trumps advisors think this is a good thing and will get him more votes?
Just makes little political sense to me.
Also reaffirms everything that Biden said about Trump during the SOTU.

Trump may nuke the state of Vermont. lol. 😝

For those not watching the results, there’s a good chance that Trump will lose the GOP primary in Vermont. That would be Haley’s one state win. She also won D.C.

Since 2015, how many friends have you lost to politics?

Before Trump, I used to say that politics would never come between me a friendship. But, during the time of Trump, they have become more and more difficult. Some friends just insist on talking politics or sneaking it into conversations or texts or emails praising Trump or bashing Biden. They’ve gotten even more brazen with their concocted lies over the years.
A few I’ve just decided to ignore and some I’ve told that maybe we can resume a relationship after November 2024.
I no longer cultivate new friendships with Trumpers or those that I assume are Trumpers.
I’m getting older and I can no longer take the added stress and aggravation in my life.
Yes I have fewer friends but the ones that I have are much better…and sane
Anybody else feel the same?

If SCOTUS rules Presidents have immunity from prosecution

What’s to stop Biden from doing anything he wants.

Is this House changing idea possible?

I’m sure this is probably crazy but hear me out.
To get the House to take a vote on the Border deal, it would need to be brought to the floor by the Speaker, right?
Johnson has said he won’t do that because Trump doesn’t want it but there are plenty of GOP House members that support the deal.
What if the Dems publicly asked that just 4 GOP members switch their party affiliation to Dem for just one day and just for this one vote. The Dems would be in power and could bring about the vote that would go to the Senate where it passes and Biden signs it.

Is this logistically possible? Can House members change affiliation during a term and, if so, could they do it twice?
I know it sounds crazy. 🤪
But I’m just asking for a friend. lol

Just for 💩 and giggles, predict the final NH GOP results.

I’m not real sure what I think is better for Biden.
To have Trump wrap it up tonight or for Haley to stay at least thru SCarolina.
Anyway, why don’t we predict tonight’s results.

I’ll go with:
Trump 50%
Haley 43%
Other 7%

Your turn.
Winner gets a warm smilie emoji.

Judge Judy thinks Biden needs two daily naps, so he shouldn't be Prez.

Seriously?
Dana Bash on cnn Monday Inside Politics interviewed that “wise politico” Judge Judy who “endorsed” Haley because Trump and Biden are both too old. She says she knows this because she is old and needs a daily nap.
She “thinks” Joe Biden takes two naps per day and that disqualifies him.
Unreal. Of course, no pushback from Dana.

Can't decide what I want to see happen in New Hampshire.

Part of me wants Haley to do well and drag this thing out at least through SCarolina with the two of them bashing each other so much that there’s no way they are on the same ticket.
But part of me wants to see it over and for Biden to go ahead and fully focus on Trump.

Where do you stand?

I miss Nicole Wallace. Hope she returns soon.

Especially miss her on election coverage.
I think she adopted a baby recently.

Best case Iowa scenario

What do you want to see tonight from a pro Biden standpoint?
I think we want both DeSantis and Haley to remain viable at least through SCarolina. I think it divides the GOP a little more that way.
So I’m hoping tonight goes something like:
Trump 50%
DeSantis 26%
Haley 22%
Others. 4%
