What the hell are you doing? You came in third in Iowa and second in New Hampshire and although your speech sounded like you were claiming victory, second place in New Hampshire was last place. Coming in second place in a two person race is nothing to brag about. It’s the worst you could have done!

Now you know from reading my musings that I have never been enamored of her candidacy because she is just another neocon, globalist never met a war I didn’t like throwback to the Bush Cheney McCain RINO’s. Her wing of the Republican Party is 30% at best on a good day and that’s not going to change. Trump’s MAGA movement commands the vast majority of the GOP.

She never had a path to the nomination absent something happening to Trump and I don’t know if even a conviction on the phony charges brought against him would deter his victory at this point.

It’s now painfully clear that there is no way she can win and let me say Thank God! She would be barely better than the combined O’Bama Magoo disaster. So why is she staying in and not dropping out and endorsing Trump? I can think of only three reasons. First she was always looking to be number two and pun intended I think she got there

Second, she’s praying for lawfare to succeed. Unfortunately, I think that it’s clear that the odds of any of these trials occurring before the election as 50-50 at best and I’m not sure as I said before that a conviction would hurt Trump’s chances since the political nature of these cases is known by everyone.

Third, Nikki must be getting richer from the donations. Which begs the question, why are these billionaires still contributing her campaign. They have to know they’re wasting money. So what are they expecting to get? If you know let me know.

I wasn’t going to cover this because it should be obvious and it was just covered oh the Ingraham Angle but Murdaugh got screwed today. ICYMI at a hearing today on whether or not he should get a new trial because of the actions of the clerk who was very biased and conveyed her feelings to the jurors. One juror testified that her vote was influenced by the clerk. And the judge denied him a new trial.

Now I’m not going to argue about whether or not he’s guilty or not because as I said at the time, I didn’t follow it enough to have an informed opinion. But people this is a criminal trial and requires a unanimous decision in order to convict. One no vote or one yes vote based on improper influence leads to a not guilty verdict. The judge should have required a new trial!!

Okay I’m going to be active again. This may be a little long because it’s going to cover several things that I meant to rant about over the last few weeks but never got around to and as always will be primarily stream of consciousness.

The first thing I want to mention is how Trump gave a master class in how to do a townhall. It was with Martha McCallum and Brett Baier, not Trump fans. He was low key, stuck to the issues and didn’t insult any of the people who asked questions. Everybody thought it was great and they were particularly enamored with his statement that he would be too busy putting up successes to worry about retribution. It was a great answer but not the highlight for me.

However, the highlight for me occurred earlier when Trump did something that I had never seen him do before and it was brilliant. A woman asked a question about abortion and I believe it was from the perspective of all abortion should be illegal. Trump in a very low key manner explained that because he got elected he was able to appoint 3 justices who made overturning Roe possible. And then he pointed out that several republicans running for office with the same position she had lost even though they were outstanding candidates. He made the point that you have to get elected to accomplish things and taking positions that the overwhelming majority of voters disagree with is not the way to do that. It was very low key and she appreciated his response even though if you put it in real speak he said listen idiot if I didn’t win Roe would still be the law and you couldn’t be asking this question. And winning is the most important thing if you want to make changes. I really appreciated it because much like good cross examination, the great ones are the ones where person doesn’t know what happened until it’s over.

The next thing I want to cover is that the Georgia senate is going to pass a law that removes Raffensperger from the state election board and are going to investigating him for violations of Georgia election laws. I told you he abetted cheating that cost Trump the election. Enjoy the link below.

Lastly, just for shits and giggles, read the link below to see just how brain dead Magoo is Apparently his son Beau died in combat in WWI several decades before Magoo was born.

PS. I was going to rant about Nikki but I’ll save that for tomorrow.
