With Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary, the possibility of anyone else securing the party’s presidential nomination is vanishingly small. That depressing reality doesn’t mean that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley should abandon her campaign to overtake Trump, which she vowed to continue.
“New Hampshire is first in the nation — it is not the last in the nation,” Haley said, promising to carry her campaign to her home state’s GOP primary on Feb. 24.

I've asked that "Why can't the Republicans do better?" a lot. Turns out Trump is the best.
So that's who I want.

The republican party is not behind Trump, the American people who arent communists or compromised corruptocrats, or Epstein clients are behind Trump.
After seeing the Bushes, McCain and Romney, its pretty clear they are not about America.

The headline explains why the LA Times has to layoff its employees.

That rag is only good for lining birdcages. I never thought I'd live in an America where globalists & Marxists are running the show. Almost, but not quite yet. Saddens me beyond words.

The LAT, on it's last gasp because NOBODY wants to listen to or read their crap, is telling us how we are making a mistake.
Die.....LAT, do the world a favor.

Glad to see that the Los Angeles Times is still available. There isn't a more absorbent newspaper anywhere. Soaks up everything!

The only correct thing in the entire article is when they call 1/6 a riot instead of an insurrection.
The rest gave me a headache reading their nonsense.
Btw, read it now before the LAT goes entirely out of business. :-)

The LA Times should be asking the Democrats the same thing about their nominee, Joe Biden. Why can't they do any better?

Why? Just maybe because not a single alternative 'self-made', American-loving, billionaire who doesn't need to kiss up to wealthy autocrat donors has stepped up in his place to run? In contrast to damn near every other politician who has become rich while SUPPOSEDLY
representing us, Trump has lost years of his career making money to ACTUALLY representing us. Can't think of anybody else so, thank you, so I'll vote LOUDLY for Trump - again.

A better question would be why are the dims offering us 4 more years of that lying, perverted, dictatorial, low grade moron Quid Pro Joe. Old Yeller has the reverse Midas touch. Everything this fool touches turns into merde.

Biden is a senile pervert. Hillary a murderous hack. Obama, an unqualified grifter. Bill Clinton was a pedophile and a drug addict. All of them sold state secrets to China, Iran, whoever had the cash.
Why can't Democrats do better?

Because it is the LAT who dirties up everybody who runs on our side. Thus whoever we run will be dirty. Trump is actually a good guy and you used to like him. The nightmare he is today came out of your brain and it will envelop any GOP nominee. That is why we can't nominate anybody who does not give you nightmares. Because the nightmares are an inevitable partisan production that emanates from you. That is why.

The GOP (better known these days as the Republi-Can't Party), can't do "better" than Donald Trump because there isn't anyone better than Donald Trump. It's that simple. He is the only person right now who has the cajónes and personal resources (so he doesn't have to sell his soul to run) to actually fight against the sewer of DC to right the very wrong direction our republic is going right now!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, the RINO's that infest the Republi-Can't Party these days see any milquetoast panty-waist "moderate" spineless loser as "better" than Donald Trump, but clearly they are wrong (as Republican voters have made supremely clear)!!!!!
The Republi-Can't Party needs to just turn out the lights and go away. Then a new Conservative Party can take over and actually save this nation!!!!!!

Horrible inevitability, they say. You mean, kind of like the financial collapse of the L.A. Times from lack of revenue? That kind of horrible inevitability?

"Why can’t the GOP do better?" asks the LASlymes, which just laid off 115 'journalists'.
link: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/jan/23/los-angeles-times-layoffs-journalists
which was 20% of their newsroom staff.
link: https://apnews.com/article/los-angeles-times-layoff-notices-cb02a2f28c2794f096a3e416f3cad71b
This is after they laid off 13% of their staff last July.

Hey LA Slymes.... maybe your declining condition indicates that YOU are not doing so well yourself!
Why can't YOU do better?
After all, the 'Writing has been On the Wall' for a while now.
Hint: Try telling the TRUTH, not Leftist Propaganda, and people may start buying your product again!
As to your original question, the answer is that although Trump is not perfect, he is Perfect for the Job at Hand, which is to fight to SAVE America, against the leftists like yourselves that have been doing their best to Destroy America!

Says the publication that's all in for the Democrats' candidates, starting with a senile, pervy old liar whose career has produced nothing of merit or value.

Why? Because George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are dead. If the GOP found somebody better, the LA Times and their leftist hordes would complain even more loudly.

Why can’t the GOP do better? Because Ronald Reagan died some years ago. And George Washington way back. They are the only ones in President Trump’s league.

These idiots are pathetic. They have the nerve to say why can't the Republicans do better, when their definition of better is apparently the demented perv crime family leader, Biden, who they helped put in the WH. That sure puts their judgement into perspective.

If leftist democrat loving dimwits at the editorial board of the dem-rag LAT are against President Donald John Trump, then I'll continue to be all for him.

An interesting look at the way those on the left think (or react without rational thought). Also provides further evidence against the oft-repeated notion that Trump is the Dims choice to run against.
