"MAGA" will choose the nominee at the convention under every possible scenario. Unless, I suppose, the other party finds a way--and does it quickly--to outlaw the Republican Party itself. They're working on it.

Probably so, but that would owe to a considerable degree to the fact that he HAS been treated unfairly. The outrage over that and the fact that it is unprecedented in our country's history certainly has made many people who are now in his corner determined not to let our political system...

This I agree with. But there's another possibility. IF something were to happen to Trump--which you asked about before--would Haley automatically be the beneficiary? I doubt that "chaos" would ensue, but this would start things over again. It also would matter when, exactly, Trump dropped out...

So 24% of Republicans would vote for RFK, Jr. in preference to Nikki Haley, huh? That does some damage to your theory that she can win whereas Trump cannot. On the other hand, 14 polls released in recent weeks asked people who they'd vote for if it were between Trump, Biden, Kennedy...

Oh well. That's the nature of politics, I guess--everyone gets to vote for the candidate of their choice and for any reason that makes sense to them. Most often, however, those people are front and center after the election to complain about, for example, how much food costs, or that the...

All right. We all think that, too. But the issue is this--do you want more years of advancing socialism, a president who is unable to handle the duties of the office (or just doesn't care), the steady decline of our national defense readiness, the undermining of our electoral system, and every...

It's anyone's guess, but Trump has said recently that it won't be a big surprise who he names. According to one survey, Elise Stefanik is thought to be the most likely choice with Kristi Noem second.

Very true. Every sacrament, even considering that the various Christian denominations differ over how many of them there are, must have a visible and physical vehicle. We accept certain acts as being sacraments because Christ instituted them, but he used physical elements throughout the years...

Frankly, I don't see how your disclaimer lets you off the hook. When Ronald Reagan took his stand, he didn't say or mean that only the Republicans he liked were covered by the Eleventh Commandment. In fact, his Eleventh Commandment was mainly about Gerald Ford whom Reagan was challenging for the...

Yes. And all the trash talking I've been reading that was aimed at Trump by a self-described Reagan conservative. Anything's possible. But her popularity, such as it is at present, is mainly because all the Never Trumpers and their sympathizers in the media have no one else left on whom to pin...

Some of the early manuscripts do not have any verses after verse 8. But for those that do, the presumption was that these women were so shocked and afraid that they at first told no one about it; but later, after other people were reporting on the same events, they felt better about discussing...

On the contrary, she was identified as a RINO from at least the year 2020.

Not to mention that our friend also said he was a "Bush conservative" which is a contradiction in terms. And as for Reagan, wasn't he the man who made famous the so-called Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican?" Seems like a Reagan disciple would have...

"Working for Republicans?" Is that all it takes for your support? How many Republican office-holders can't be credited with having worked for other Republicans? Not many. Earlier, you questioned why Haley shouldn't be considered a Conservative. Now that's been softened to just saying that she...

"Pragmatic" is the term you prefer, but there are other terms for it such as "wishy-washy," "flip flop," and "RINO." The longer she stays in the race, the more that her record of saying one thing and doing another, changing her mind, and going with what pressure groups and special interests want...

That's right, and in 2022 they took control of the House of Representatives from the Democrats. The "big deal" promoted by the media was that they should have won by a bigger margin. And they probably would have done so if it were not for the vote harvesting, drop boxes, absentee ballots sent...

I didn't stick it out through the whole video, but it appears from what I heard that the average American, the "common man," has a good grip on the facts. Incidentally, it was somewhat amusing--but very predictable--that the news service in this case (NBC) couldn't just report what people said...

That isn't demonstrated, however. While his endorsements didn't work out in a number of key races, they were decisive in some others. And, after all is said and done, support (or lack of it) for a President's policies and values is not always transferrable to his endorsements of local...

Yeah, that's a much looser use of the term Conservative, but the question as I understood you was only asking why Haley is not in favor with many Conservatives. What you are referring to is often called Neo-Conservatism. Alas, I have to conclude that you missed the point of that matter. I...

First, it's not a black and white, issues-only, approach that explains why she is so vehemently opposed by leading Conservatives. Using that kind of checklist doesn't get at the problems. Second, she IS on the Conservative side with some issues. But that doesn't settle the matter, even if you...
