Do you want someone steeped in Confederate culture to be president? Now that she’s running for the top job, she’s singing a different tune; but when she was South Carolina’s governor, Nikki Haley didn’t hesitate to pander to “Southern tradition.” I’ll explai[...]

An obscure presidential candidate you should know more about
Larry Elder is running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. I had to look him up. Wikipedia says (here) he’s a “right-wing political commentator and conservative talk radio host” in Los Angeles. He was on the ballot in California’s 2021 recall election against Gov. Gavin[...]

Twitter crash derails DeSantis’s campaign launch

Can any Republican win in 2024?
President Biden, who’s running for re-election, looks vulnerable. He has low approval ratings, many voters question his age, even many Democrats are leery of Kamala Harris succeeding him, and he could face an election-year recession. But you can’t ignore voters’ other choice, and t[...]

Nikki Haley, who’s running for president, announced on Fox News that New York’s governor should pardon the white man who choked a mentally-ill black subway rider to death (see story here). The case is complicated, and certainly not as simple as its component of white-on-black violence wo[...]

Nikki Haley won’t be president
Presidential elections are highly unpredictable, especially this far in advance (the 2024 election is still more than 18 months away), but I feel quite safe in saying the 2024 declared GOP candidate Nikki Haley will not emerge as the winner. Some of the reasons: She’s a Republican, and her par[...]
Can Trump beat Biden in 2024?
I don’t know. It’s not even assured they’ll be the nominees, although both are running. The polls suggest neither are popular, but do polls at this stage really tell us anything about an election over 18 months away? Here’s what one of HorsesAss.org’s most articulate po[...]
