2024 US Presidential Election

I hope all these shithead representatives the chump has hired are disbarred, sooner rather than later.

Our new voter registration cards are in the mail today and I am trying to figure out how to care.

I used to be happy to get my new one and would sign it and replace the old one in my wallet.

Today I am feeling a lot of MEH!

Jan 10 (Reuters) - Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ended his flailing bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday, after failing to garner support for a campaign centered on criticism of the policies and character of frontrunner Donald Trump.

Christie dropped out just days before the first Republican nominating contest in Iowa. Christie had the support of just 2% of Republicans in a nationwide Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Tuesday - the same level of support as former Representative Liz Cheney, who never declared herself a candidate.

[...]

Christie told a town hall event in New Hampshire that he no longer saw a path forward for his campaign.

Republican strategist John Feehery said Christie dropping out might help Haley in New Hampshire, which will hold the second nominating contest later this month, because many Christie voters will likely switch to her.

A majority of Americans in a new survey say they would support the Supreme Court either disqualifying former President Trump from presidential ballots across the country or letting states decide whether to include him on their ballots.

Nearly one-third — 30 percent — of respondents in the ABC News/Ipsos survey said they think the justices should order that Trump be removed from ballots across the country, and 26 percent said they believed the matter should be left up to election officials in each state. Additionally, 39 percent of Americans surveyed said they think the Supreme Court should order Trump be kept on the ballot in all states.

More than half of the survey’s respondents, 53 percent, said they believe the justices in the nation’s highest court will rule on the basis of law on the matter, while 43 percent said they think they will rule based on their political views on Trump.

The Trump campaign still owes these cities money that he's never paid for rallies he had.

Albuquerque won't let him have another rally until his bill is paid with penalties for late payment.

His credit score is ZERO.

Just under half of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers who support former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley indicated that they would make a crossover to the Democratic party, saying that they would rather vote for President Biden over former President Trump.

A new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released just one day before the Iowa caucus found that 43 percent of Haley backers in the state said they would vote for Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee while 23 percent say they would vote for the former president. Nineteen percent said they would vote for Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Overall, 71 percent of likely GOP caucusgoers said they would vote for Trump in 2024 while only 11 percent said they would vote for Biden.

“Haley is consolidating the anti-Trump vote,” J. Ann Selzer, a pollster who conducted the Iowa survey over the last three decades, told NBC. “She does well with the people who define themselves as anti-Trump.”

Trump's lead within the party doesn't seem it will translate to the general if this state is true for the supporters of other candidates too.

It’ll be interesting to see Trump’s reaction to his first loss during the primary season (probably New Hampshire). Calling on my redoubtable psychic powers, I predict he’ll use terms like ‘stolen election’, ‘voter fraud’ and ‘fake news’.

It’s telling that the anti-Trump vote is going to the candidate least like Trump. DeSantis tried to position himself as a younger, smarter Trump. That doesn’t seem to have worked for him.
