The latest is that Nikki Haley is within 4 points of Trump. Maybe things will take care of themselves after all, though Haley is nothing to write home about. She’s a drawly conservative who, one might think, would still need to be mindful of keeping the old Trump base happy. So in some ways it’s just going to be SSDD, just a different talking head.
A variation on the attitude that prevailed in 2020—“at least Biden isn’t Trump…”
As for Trump, the clown who has shamelessly taken up way too much of our time? Maybe people will finally take the hint that his “greatness” is truly a figment of his imagination, all in his head. And Stephen Miller and the rest of the Legion of Doom will have to look for other coattails to hang onto.
