      If Trump is unable to be president because of Court cases that should rule that way (will they? Flip a coin…), then Haley has a pretty good chance of beating DeSantis. So yeah, she does matter.

      I’d rather her over the others because she’s not so MAGA and far-right.

      I’ll be voting for Biden either way.

        None of those cases is going to be decided by November, or even January. He may have a ‘convicted pending appeal’ or two, but those appeals will be postponed until 2028. Hell, even if he loses, I doubt he’ll exhaust his appeals before 2030.

          I’d agree with this if you were saying there’s a clear possibility of this, rather than treating it as a foregone conclusion. Because we don’t know for sure how it’s going to go at this point. But yeah, I don’t feel comfortable counting on these court cases taking Trump out of the equation at all.

      People are complaining about not having better options than two old guys, but are also complaining that their rivals are getting coverage during the primary season.

      She’s been backed by a few mega donors who are able to push media coverage if I recall correctly

      She is easy on the eyes and can generally make coherent points. That makes her a very small minority within the GOP.

          You understand what she is trying to communicate, it’s s shitty hateful lying message but you understand it. Compare it to the rambling insanity we have all had to deal with since 2016.

          By the way to be clear I am not going to vote for her.

      It’s not even New Hampshire yet and the Republican primary race is effectively down to only two people and she’s the option that’s not Trump.

      She’ll probably win every state that has an open primary at very least.
