      “The worst kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump,” Haley said. “A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency … I defeat Biden handily.”

      Yeah this is my understanding.

      I don’t really understand it (despite everyone explaining it n times) but if the GOP want to win all they need to do is field a young candidate.

        So it all comes down to “do Republicans want to win badly enough that they can suppress their racism and misogyny and vote for a woman of color”. Republicans like winning, but NEVER bet against racism and misogyny with that crew.

        Also, a large fraction of the base WILL vote for Trump, and only Trump, whether he’s on the ballot or not, which hurts Haley. And there’s no evidence that the R’s have won over a single new voter since 2020, when they lost.

        This all turns on how badly Biden does with HIS base, and that is currently pretty worrying. Democratic voters like unproductive petulance at least as much as Republican voters like racism and misogyny.

          Biden definitely hasn’t been unproductive. He just hasn’t been loud enough about his accomplishments.

            Biden’s exceeded my expectations… it’s just no one knows him as anything other than “The guy who sniffs hair”

            If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?

        I think she’s wrong though. If she were to win, Trump would run an an independent and split the wingnut vote.
