Asa Hutchinson is out.
(Did you remember that he was still in the campaign up until the Iowa caucus?)

"Joy Reid of MSNBC says Nikki Haley lost Iowa because of racism"

By the way, Joy Reid, why is your hair white?

AND STRAIGHT?????

LOL

Of course it's racism. That's why they call this the Presidential RACE, amirite

You know, it's funny the primaries aren't held nationwide on the same day. A few states influence who the nominee is. Anyway...the conventions might be interesting. Trump is really old, yet looks like a spring chicken next to Biden. Biden will not make it through a 2nd term, maybe he switches out Kamala for someone better when he inevitably wins then retires in 2026? And for the GOP, maybe Trump will be in legal trouble and have to play kingmaker at the convention...

I heard that last evening’s turnout was only 14% of eligible voters. Pretty dismal showing for all the $$$ spent on the exercise. The result is probably an indicator of very little.

Glad to see Ramaswamy wake up and throw in his towel. I guess in the end at least something good came out of all the hype and effort.

The crowd was even chanting "VP! VP!" I think. Good speech overall, I liked the opening line about so much focus on diversity and differences that we've forgotten to focus on what makes us the same. Good stuff.

I can see the Trump/Vivek sign now.

If nothing else, it might take people's minds off how annoying Trump is.

Also makes you wonder, if Vivek gets 7-Eleven, what will Nikki get?

Seriously - complaining that it was in poor taste?

What other kinds of taste are there?

[89th]

Honestly all I'm wondering is if Kamala will cross-train Vivek on his first day working the White House 7-11.

Funny how the Wokies were pretty silent when Uncle Grandpa Joe made a similar comment.

I love the "I'm not joking" ending to that clip.
