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 would bypass courts in subway choking case
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 lacks backbone to be president
Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump ambassador who is running for president, is a spineless blob. I previously pointed out here that she sucks up to Trump (or, more precisely, his adoring voters). This is true even though she’s challenging him for the 2024 GOP nomination.[...]

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[...]
New poll suggests Trump faces uphill battle
Trump is the early favorite for the 2024 GOP nomination, but even if he isn’t wearing an orange prison jumpsuit by then, he’s unlikely to win over general election voters. A new AP/NORC poll released on Thursday, April 20, 2023, shows 70% of Americans don’t want him to run for pres[...]
A Democrat who knows rural voters
If Democrats are frustrated by rural voters, it’s because they don’t know them, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says. Khanna represents Silicon Valley, but travels the country, showing his face in places like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Appalachia Virginia. A progressive, he talks abo[...]
Republicans can’t escape their unpopular policies
It’s hard for ordinary people like me to fathom why anybody would want to be president, but a number of Republican politicians do, and they all have a problem. Most Americans hate their positions on abortion and guns. On top of that, the GOP has long been a party for the rich, and often indiff[...]
