Ron and Nikki have to drop out and rally behind Trump. The $250 million or however much they've pissed away to be also rans needs to be allocated toward protecting the election from the crooked bastards that stole the last election. The Republicans must be an army marching forward together so they win the senate and the house in addition to the Oval Office. Trump will then be elected fairly and able to govern like a bull dozer, clearing away swamp garbage and making America great again.

That seems unlikely tho, doesn’t it? Ron is now beholden to whoever (and seems a little too proud now to back down) and Nikki is part of the Hates Trump Crowd. I expect her to become more shrill and Hillary like. Chris Sununu backs her for crying out loud - mostly because he loathes Trump, really loathes Trump, and not because he believes in her or her policies. (I’m trying to think of anyone else who goes on media to defend her, now that I try to.)

I've known Sununu for many years and he, like his daddy, have always been part of the Bush Bunch. People don't really understand how much the New Hampshire Primaries mean to the nation elections. Politics is a religion up there. I was fully immersed in it which is why I know all these people. And they know me. If you are a political junkie move to New Hampshire. I miss the political involvement immensely. I left because of the winters.

they're pushing haley like crazy now. even some on the left. the hate for trump is so intense that haley could actually end up becoming the first female president.

that makes me sick. she's a shill for the globalists, a feminist to the bone, more liberal than conservative and a tramp to boot. fubar.

if she's the nominee i won't vote. period.

She won't win the nomination. They may run her as a spoiler 3rd or 4th party candidate. There is certainly enough money behind her to pull something like that to try and siphon off votes for Trump. They don't hate Trump they fear him. He will take no prisoners when he gets in there. It will all be unearthed the opposition is working on the "hang together or hang separately" principle.

We are current residents (Chris’ parents are neighbors) and lived through Chris and his hideous lockup policies during COVID. There is no so-called “Federal” money he won’t chase, no teachers union or medical institution he won’t try to appease and be loved by. Kids are being abused by school policies - like the rest of the country, only fewer kids because fewer cities. They are caught dead in the competency based education and mental health assessments traps. The $cost/student in our town of 174 elementary students is $40,000. Ask me how I really feel.

He’s the only Sununu who has accomplished nothing on his own. And he loathes Trump. He truly believes someone important listens to him and values what he says on his TV interviews. He’s a petty nasty guy at heart.

Ironically perhaps, we decided to stay (and not go south to family) because we love being outdoors a LOT and it’s terrible cold and yucky here less than it’s really hot in the Carolinas. We love our trees and woods and our sporting dogs (2 ridiculous Vizslas) off leash. We are new to retired and maybe later we will head out. Meanwhile we drive south 4 or 5 times a year and see all the ballet recitals and wrestling tournaments we can fit in. We rent a house so we can boogey board in SC this summer. We are blessed.

Schoolboards and budgets are outrageous everywhere but New Hampshire, because there is no sales tax or income tax, the property owners get slammed. Don't get me started on schoolboards. I had many an argument with superintendents and board chairs. I am always telling people to pay attention to those elections.

Haley has no path. RDS's path is only if Trump stumbles or is made to stumble. So they will both stick around because the never Trumpers will keep paying Haley to do so (improving her retirement fund's performance) and RDS can learn from the process for 2028, or be available in the event of a Trump downfall.

Trump has the nomination sown up of course, I just wish he would be a bit less accommodating of the cultural garbage that Don so aptly describes on a regular basis - and for me that is a serious problem with Trump. He supports Budweiser and Disney, between making general statements about how terrible the things are they stand for. It doesn't work that way. If elected, perhaps I will find his love of the Mouse and Bud was just a ruse. I certainly hope so.

Biden isn't running anything. Obama the Stalinist is and the Federal bureaucracy is full of Stalinists, fascists, and Islamists. And they are working together, with the help of "R"s who've sold their souls, to burn down the Republic, which they all hate. So, Trump's victory is a great one, the first of many, but don't kid yourselves: they will do anything to defeat him, and us. It's going to be a "bumpy" year, as Kunstler says, which is an understatement.

Place your faith in God, but keep your powder dry. And pray for the Republic!

The very first time I felt actual fear about the outcome of an election was when Obama ran for his 2nd term. When he won I feared our country could be on a truly fatal trajectory.

When Trump won in 2016, I happily voted for him, but even then wasn’t sure he’d be able to right the many wrongs of the Obama crowd. But he accomplished extraordinary things - of historical proportions!

His presidency also made me realize we’d been lied to by our own party for decades, making promises they never intended to keep, nearly all of which Trump managed to procure in just 3 short years - before Covid hit.

All that’s occurred since 2020, the flagrantly stolen election, the “mostly peaceful” riots, the destruction of our energy independence, and the resultant inflation, crushing hard working Americans, the demolition of education, the deviation of science, the diabolical perversion of the Rule of Law along with the inalienable rights of the people, and on and on. I wish it was a nightmare - but it has been, and still is more than real, more like existing in a surreal dystopia. Where the hell are we, really? What the hell happened?

The answer to that question can only link to the corruption lurking in men’s souls who have chosen darkness over light, if they could even comprehend the light to begin with.

We find ourselves in the darkest of times when even our children are being stolen from us and offered up to maniacal demons.

The entire world is a powder keg, just seconds from someone lighting the fuse.

There’s no mere man who can save us from this hellscape.

Trump may offer a symbol of hope to the righteous. But it is only in the one, true God we must put our faith in, the One Who is far greater and far more powerful than the man Trump if, peradvenure, the Lord God sees fit to give us one last chance to repent and redeem ourselves and return our hearts to Him and His will and His ways in our lives, and for the sake of our childrens lives and futures.

Pray without ceasing and May God have mercy on us all.

Love Love Love the combination of MLK and Trump's mugshots! So interesting to compare the parallels between both men's persecutions. You are totally right--there can be no choice but Trump, and Iowa did indeed step up. Thrilling that he had a landslide of all 99 counties. Both MLK and Trump are true American heroes. I hope they are not both martyrs.

Also intrigued by your bringing up Marco Rubio. When he first came on the scene, many of us (Tea Partiers) were very excited by him, but became disillusioned when he seemed to backtrack and become RINO-ish, mainly on the amnesty stuff, and sort of generally seemed to be trying to curry favor with the Washington power structure. At that time he was still an ordinary young man with no independent wealth just starting out and clawing to get a place at the table, and was vulnerable to the money men and the other poison the corrupt establishment laid on him.

But, he has been around the block now, and what I think I've been seeing in recent years, and what I hope is true, is that he has become much savvier and more of his own man now. The "establishment" has allowed him his place at the table, but I think he realizes that they have closed any further advancement for him. His root "being" is FIRMLY based in Freedom--coming from his family's flight from Communist Cuba, and I think the Deep State does not trust him. Good. Washington is a very cut-throat place, and beginners are eaten up raw. Rubio was eaten up raw a bit. (And DeSantis has been eaten up raw quite a bit this past year.) Rubio has had the chance to see behind the curtain, and I think has grasped the establishment's true nature, and no longer is seduced to try and climb the establishment's ladder. I do think Rubio is exceptionally intelligent. He's also pretty aggressive and articulate.

IF he has become wiser and even more determined in the cause of Freedom, he could possibly become a strong warrior for us--and a very good VP choice for Trump. (Demographically, he would be fantastic for welcoming all those new Hispanic voters that have been moving to Trump.) Few people become mature and effective leaders instantly. Wouldn't it be cool if we've been "growing" a really good one in Rubio over the past decade?? OK, yes, I guess I'm just "visioning" on this--but it could be true.

Lastly, Nikki Haley is not going to withdraw--she is a ghoul hoping that Trump will be taken out somehow. So, we need to think through the nominating process rules, and see what our options are if Trump is not available. For that reason, DeSantis almost HAS TO STAY IN--especially if he can continue to beat out Nikki for 2nd place. We may need a 2nd place option, and LORD SAVE US from it being Nikki.

re: MLK. MLK has a good reputation around these-here parts, but as a WV expat living in Virginia, I celebrate January 13 as Lee-Jackson day right along with everybody else.

re: Iowa. Trump's momentum is so large now that I hope the Deep State and the Alleged President Joe Stolen regime will be afraid to assassinate him. God help them all if they do.

I believe the DC cartel is pretty much screwed. If Trump gets elected, they're screwed. If they kill him, they'll create a martyr and they'll be screwed. Also, Trump is wealthy. Wealthy enough to threaten them back with his own surprises. And, I assume he has the backing of the Mossad, which most likely has Epstein's photography and video collection. This will be one hell of an intersting year.

re: Mossad. God, I hope you're right, although there is a persistent rumour that Mossad took Epstein out.

re: tapes and voyeurism. I had a distant cousin - now long dead - who ran a gen-you-wine restaurant and cathouse on Rt. 3 in Raleigh County in the early 'fifties. Another cousin, now in his late 'seventies, used to go there and stay overnight in his early teens, since nobody in the family knew about the side business. (One thing about Hillbillies - at least in those days: they knew how to keep their mouth shut.) He used his Genuine Tree Brand and bored a small hole from his room to the next so he could watch the action. Sort of an archetypal Epstein, except he of course couldn't record it all.

I'm hoping somebody releases the tapes, 'cos I'll spread them all over the Internet. Couldn't happen to nicer sonsofbitches....

Little Nikki said, “I can safely say tonight Iowa made this Republican primary a two-person race.” Well, yes, in the sense that a downhill ski race between me and Michaela Schifrin would be a "two person race," in that she is a person and I am a person, which makes two persons and we would both be skiing downhill. Of course, the fact that Michaela would not only finish, but would be able to change into her street clothes, have a bite to eat and then wait to greet me at the finish line rather takes the "race" part out of the equation.

Enough with the comedy. It's going to continue to get more and more serious as each Trump victory in the process eventuates with his nomination, and when the head-to-head campaign against Biden (or whomever the Socialist Democrat Party apparatchiks come up with to replace him) commences, Katie bar the door. It is gratifying to note, however that so many Americans have come to realize that their enemies-in-residence in the White House and Congress mean to either subjugate or eliminate them and compromise and "bipartisanship" are code words for "surrender." It is now an existential struggle of "US" (in the sense of "us" as well as United States) versus "them," "them" being the Marxist/Gramscian/Globalist/Militant Atheist cabal that controls the extra-national organizations like the UN, WHO, WEF and America's Executive Branch.

And you know what's interesting this day-after-MLK Day? The fact that, unlike in the case of Trump, the FBI didn't have to make stuff up about "Dr. King." He actually was guilty of everything they found out about his (cough-cough) activities; the hypocritical infidelities, the communist sympathies, the violence against women in his life. All true, but suppressed in order to establish his saintly bona fides as one more item on the armamentarium of things to beat white people with. It's ironic that King is idolized for standing up for his people's rights, but if a white person tries to do the same thing, he is pilloried as a "racist." That's "diversity" for ya; merely a polite way of saying no whites allowed. I shall conclude my observations by once again stating that the slave never wishes for equality; he wishes to be the master, and leave it at that.

Cruz has been MIA on too many issues lately, and instinctively lined up with the Senate lynch mob on Jan6. His top protege now in Congress was one of the two loudest DeSantis supporters.

As far as DeSantis, too often with his SuperPAC driven campaign, when a major donor yelled jump, his campaign responded within hours. (Very evident when the topic was the Ukraine war). The Covid Jab was his biggest opening issue wise to show he was fighting for us, and he backed off in a big way when the donors objected. Judging by the past year, he’s back off every policy debate the first time the Murdochs or the Kochs objected.

Cruz sort of fell off the wagon or something since 2016. But, in the many months leading up to the 2016 election he was strong, smart, and tough. If my memory serves me, he had stronger polling against Trump than DeSantis has today.

I am glad - in hindsight - that Trump prevailed, but Cruz is an excellent legal mind and constitutionalist. After the loss (and the verbal beating Trump gave him along the way) he had serious challenges to his Senate seat that he had to attend to. I suspect by now he is mostly cruising to the retirement finish line.

The Ted Cruz from 2015 would have done many good things but we'll never know now.

Although, like Marco Rubio (they both joined the Senate the same year as Tea Party favorites), Ted Cruz has also hung in there and gained quite a bit of savvy. His heart has not seemed "in it" recently. But, that could change if he saw a role for himself in truly saving America, and got a second wind to fight. I'm sure Washington has been brutal for him.

"Iowa had no choice but Trump"

...and neither do we - if we wish to have even a chance of regaining control of our republic.

"Iowans rose and stood with him because they had no choice."

They did, indeed.

In 2017, on my last visit to God's country (Iowa, for anyone who may be wondering) with my now ex-wife for Thanksgiving, my late favourite aunt informed me that Iowa was Trump country. This both pleased and surprised me because to the best of my knowledge, not since Reagan's re-election in '84 had Iowa voted Republican.

I think Iowa republicans aren't voting Republican - they're voting Trump.

The nicknames are just one of this substack's attractions - Tricky Nikki, Hillary Haley - truly pricless gems!

Dandy Don cited as a reference by Dandy Don! Sadly, that pop-cultural touchstone is recognized by fewer and fewer of us.

"Actually, it is a Solzhenitsyn versus Stalin contest because Biden wants to send Trump to a gulag, preferably in Alaska.

Democrats and their RINO flunkies want to convict Trump of an imaginary incitement of an imaginary insurrection."

Damn straight. The Uniparty and its deep-state apparatchiks need to be rooted out at every level, and incarcerated until such time as the gallows can accommodate them.

"The FBI is not our friend. The Constitution does not seem to authorize its existence. It is a politicized police force."

For this reason alone, it ought to be eliminated, and every agent given the option of hanging or firing squad.

"Under J. Edgar Hoover, it spied on King. Under J. Edgar Comey, it spied on Trump."

Under J. Edgar Wray it raids the homes and offices of JObama's political existential threat.

There seems to be little difference between MLK and Jim Bakker. For some reason, it's always seemed to me that MLK's widow never seemed to publicly exhibit the appropriate affect of a woman who has been widowed. It almost seems like she's content with him getting what she likely felt he deserved.

Just like MLK, the Corporate Class cooperates with the Uniparty, and the deep state in attempting to destroy Trump.

"...Iowans...see a vote for Trump as a way of saving America."

Not A way - the ONLY way.

I rather imagine that Goldwater's opposition to the CRA of 1964 was principled, at the time. Of course, he stuck around too long and the brutal Arizona sun baked his brain - that excuse isn't available to the traitor John "Death's Head" McCain.

"Iowans stepped up."

Thank goodness - now, it's our turn.

Sarah Palin pisses off the Political Class as much as Trump. I'd like to see Trump give her the job of shutting down every agency not sanctioned by the constitution. Maybe she could begin with the FBI & BATF.

I believe it is why Trump is constantly referred to as an insurrectionist, dictator, nazi, or fascist. They know if he gets back in, he WILL dig deep and tear as much out by the roots as he can. Then, the MSM can jump up and down screaming the terms above. It's foreshadowing one of their strategic plans if they need it.

I really don't understand this - because if you are right, Trump would have done much more of that in his term, which he didn't. He is singing praises of the RNC structure, supports Disney and Bud, makes pretty crazy comments about NC and using whatever bathroom you want. He just wanted to make deals. Some of us already knew how corrupt DC was, but he spread that knowledge far and wide. And did next to nothing about it.

What else did he know and would have done something about had he had a second consecutive term? Because the irrational hate by the left power structure of him suggests something much deeper and insidious going on among the nation's and world's elite business and political power brokers.

I can't disagree with some of the seemingly inconsistent things Trump has done. I guess I base my opinion above on these beliefs: (1) Trump represents a threat so great, the left is willing to spend so much time and money to falsely convict him of made-up charges to make him go away. (2) Trump was not a politician. He went into the highest job in the country as a businessman. As such, he was naive about how things worked. He had a lot to learn and made some mistakes. (3) He was bombarded with so many distractions and fake charges, the left literally spent 24/7 for four years trying anything to stop him. When did he have time to do anything really? (4) Despite all of the above, he did do some amazing things. Things his predecessors only dreamed of doing but never did.

I wish Trump had done a number of things differently, but I have no doubt he is the only solution to this communist coup that has taken over our lives.
