She is becoming more popular amongst Republican women, and if he goes after her like the obnoxious cad, misogynist ogre he always turns into, that may cost him some support. She is also far more well-versed on the issues than he is. I'd love to see her debate him if his testicles ever dropped.
Didn't cost him much in the general. There's no cult of personality swelling behind Haley.
I think this thread is a bunch of old school Republicans wishing that this were the pre Trump party. The base is more populist, more blue collar, and more isolationist than it was even in 2016. As much as anything Haley's issue is that her base is a Minority in the party. That minority is just over represented in the social circles board members talk to.
In simplest terms, the angry white uneducated guys (and some women) aren't going to leave Trump for an Indian woman. If we pretend those folks aren't the majority of today's republican party, then the conservative intellectuals can debate how the rest of the party votes.
Going after her won't hurt him in the slightest ... have we forgotten his "locker room talk" that didn't move the needle?
If trump is eligible and in presentable health, he will be the republican nominee regardless of if it is 1-on-1 or not.
Another relatively close election and we're in decent health... I do wonder if he'd get nominated in 2028.
He'd go down in history a slightly more successful William Jennings Bryant
Is that every time Bryant ran he got 1 to 2% less of the vote.
practicing Christian (of the Catholic variety, so the many of the "Christian" nationalists would not think I am a Christian, but still...), one of the most disgraceful and, in my view, damaging things to Christianity as a whole in America has been the explicitly anti-Christian views and stances taken by these "Christian" nationalists.
There aren't all that many things I would say Jesus was 100% clear about. But he was absolutely, 100% clear when he addressed lying and how to treat your enemy and sinners. Yet these so-called Christians have embraced lying as the means to their end, and their end has largely become punishing both their enemies and those they view as sinners.
number of people who might change your view of evangelicals and politics.
the page not because I am a liberal and he takes the evangelical right to task. I think it was illiuminating to read about the schism and to see not just the mega churches but also the smaller churches we have neverr heard of that are likely the most radicalized. It did also cause me to pause and think about my poltics, my faith and the intersection of the two.
Well wrritten book by a person whose background was uniquely suited to writing it in a way that examine the issues in a way that was both respectful and honest.
