RE: 2024 US Presidential Election

BBC made an informative video on how Trump plans to dismantle the American democracy if he wins
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Haley's still got uphill sledding there, according to RCP -- she's down 14 points to Trump as of 12 Jan.
But that poll has Christie in the mix. If Haley does even a little bit better than expected in Iowa, she’ll pick up votes from both Christie and DeSantis (I don’t imagine that Christie’s supporters are going to jump to Ramaswamy).

I have a sinking feeling that it's going to be Trump and Biden again. Unless more states jump on the bandwagon of keeping Trump off the ballot (and that not be overturned) I can't see any other way for this to play out.

Is there much to pluck from DeSantis in NH?
According to the poll you linked, he’s at 6.5%, so there’s some. Not a lot, but some.

Maybe if we are all lucky, an anvil will fall on the super genius' head.
