Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has become one of the “better surrogates” for Democrats in 2024, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday. Haley, who is Donald Trump’s last remaining GOP primary rival, has attacked the former president throughout the race, arguing that the 77-year-old is too old to serve another term White House and warning that his “chaos” will hurt Republican chances at the ballot boxes in November. “I think she’s one of our better surrogates, so I hope she stays in [the GOP primary race],” Newsom, 56, told CNN host Jake Tapper, arguing that her criticisms of the former president are “spot on.”

Haley is like the Houthis for Iran... Not good for much more than throwing bombs! Enabling and comforting America's opposition!

Gavin, you haven't made the case against Trump, he has made the case against you and the Dem party. That is what prompts your insane hatred of the man.

The kiss of death from Gavin. Maybe she should just flip and go democrat because not sure too many conservatives will vote for her. I don't mind a fighter (one reason I support Trump) but a stupid fighter I can not support. Trump just needs to ignore her and attack FJB. She really is a non issue.

So does Fox News, notice that Haley has been touted by Fox News all along, while ensuring that half or more of their political guests to be Democrats who they allow to put out leftist and socialist Democrat political propaganda on the Fox News Channel. They say that Haley has a lot of campaign cash, if that is true, you can safely bet that a lot of that money was contributed to Haley by Democrat entities and individuals as an undercover effort to assist Haley to knock of Trump through the Republican primary process, that so far has not been successful. If Haley is nominated by the wimpy Republicans to be the Republican Presidential Nominee, those supposed Democrat Haley supporters would immediately disappear, and instead use their money to assist the leftist and socialist Democrats in stomping Haley into the political dust during the run up to the November General Election.

Rule #1 for any Republican running for office is to present themselves as a REAL ALTERNATIVE to the Democrats. If the Democrats consider you a surrogate, you certainly offer no alternative. Why vote for the surrogate when I can have the real thing and vote Democrat? That's why the only real alternative to the Democrats is DONALD TRUMP. A vote for Haley is a vote for a continuation of the last four years. If you really want that, just vote Biden. Newsom says what the Democrats are thinking. Amazing how often the Democrats telegraph their intentions if one listens closely.

#22, remember at the time Trump was elected he was not a DC career guy and relied on advise and references from the wimpy establishment DC Republicans for appointments to fill out almost all the positions in his administration. That did not work out as those wimpy Republicans collapsed during the Trump years anytime the situation got rough. You can be sure that Trump learned his lesson and that will not happen after he is elected in November.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play. Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled states cannot use section 3 of the 14th Amendment to kick Donald Trump off state ballots over his alleged “insurrectionist” actions on Jan. 6, 2021. Learning that state officials aren’t empowered to simply toss leading presidential candidates off ballots came as a great surprise to many incredulous left-wingers. Once you’ve convinced yourself Trump led a Hitlerian putsch that nearly overthrew democracy, every crackpot legal theory aimed at stopping him sounds not only morally justified but legally sound.

Biden family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski sued for defamation Democrats’ star witness in the Jan. 6 Committee’s show trials. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Donald Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, famously testified two years ago that President Trump tried to violently hijack a security limousine and drive himself to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The sources she cited at the hearing almost immediately went on record to contradict her sworn testimony. Legacy networks NBC, CBS, and CNN reported Hutchinson’s sources were prepared to go under oath to testify that her claims were false.

Very Important Columnists Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman just released their book White Rural Rage, about flyover Americans and their support for Donald Trump.

One of those fun little appearances happened on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” It’s hard to put into words just how delusional and dishonest the segment was — as in, every single word. These highfalutin “journalists” have their heads so far up their own keisters, they wouldn’t know the honest truth if it introduced itself by name and punched them in the face.

Their goal, Galanis said, “was to make billions, not millions.” Access to Vice President Biden, according to House testimony, was one of their primary products sold to foreign businessmen. “Our business included the acquisition of an 85-year-old Wall Street firm, Burnham and Company,

Biden’s abundant weaknesses give President Trump and his campaign a target-rich atmosphere where they can tempt people who usually vote for Democrats to vote differently. Teachers, for example, usually vote for Democrats. Mr. Trump can sway many of them this year by promising to remove an unnecessary burden from public education.

Of course, it was framed under the guise of Christian nationalism.
