Nikki Haley is banking on her chances of beating Joe Biden in November as she becomes Donald Trump’s final adversary for the GOP nomination.
Catch up: Haley is now going head-to-head against former President Trump after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis withdrew his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday. The former U.N. ambassador and the former U.S. president will square off in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
What she’s saying: Haley asserts that she is a safer bet than Trump for the general election. Several polls have shown that the former South Carolina governor could beat President Joe Biden, including one that found her 19 points ahead. Last week, a CBS/YouGov poll showed Haley defeating Biden by eight points (53% to 45%) among likely voters.
“All the evidence says that if it’s a Trump-Biden rematch, it’s going to be another tossup election. It could go either way,” Haley said after last week’s Iowa caucus. “And then look at what happens when I go head-to-head against Biden. We win in a landslide. It’s not even close.”

Why New Hampshire matters to Haley: A New Hampshire victory will help Haley build momentum for the rest of the primaries. The Granite State has a unique demographic that includes a large number of independent voters, whom she believes will help her beat Trump.
A Marist poll released on Friday showed Biden beating Trump by seven points (52% to 45%) in a hypothetical match-up in New Hampshire. Haley, however, beat Biden by three points (47% to 44%).
Challenges: While DeSantis’ exit has left Haley the lone person to challenge Trump, he — as well as former candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott — has also endorsed the former president. A CNN poll out on Sunday also showed Trump with an 11-point lead over Haley (50% to 39%) in New Hampshire.

Haley, who is Indian American, also stirred controversy last week after stating that the U.S. was “never a racist country.” She later defended her comments to CNN’s Jake Tapper, claiming that she actually experienced “plenty of racism” and that her statement was based on the Founding Fathers’ intention that “all men are created equal.”
What Trump is saying: Trump on Friday repeatedly called Haley “Nimbra” on his Truth Social page — a misspelling of her birth name, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. He has also called her “Nimrada” and “birdbrain” and falsely accused her of being ineligible to run for the White House.

My comment that provoked a response(s) from Mike aka magaman a day later. These people have been indoctrinated and gaslit by decades of CONservative Media lies, dis and mis information and now exist in a CULT that appears to be self perpetuating. As a LEFT OF CENTER mostly independent citizen and voter I feel it is important to respond to these people much like Linda Ronstadt has done most of her life. Besides, it sharpens my brain more than crossword puzzles. With my health issues I only hope I live long enough to see the end to Trump and his MAGA CULT and especially more so I hope to see the upcoming Linda Ronstadt Biopic, one that will do this wonderful, caring human being justice. I know Selena Gomez will do a great job! :

JANUARY 25, 2024. Fourth Quarter 2023 GDP Report
Today we learned that the U.S. economy grew 3.1 percent over the past year while adding another 2.7 million jobs, and with core inflation moving back down towards the pre-pandemic benchmark. As a result, wages, wealth, and employment are higher now than they were before the pandemic. That’s good news for American families and American workers. That is three years in a row of growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up on Biden's watch. President Biden’s predecessor passed a nearly 2 trillion dollar unpaid for tax cut with benefits skewed to the wealthy and large corporations, and the deficit went up every single year under his watch. Under President Biden, the deficit has fallen by $1.7 trillion, and his reforms to take on Big Pharma, lower prescription drug costs, and make the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share will reduce the deficit by hundreds of billions more.

President Donald Trump paid a proxy to take a standardized college entrance exam for him when he was a high school student. ‘Donald Trump was the dumbest student I ever had!’” He would say that [Trump] came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything, that he was arrogant and he wasn’t there to learn.” Kelley, who passed away in 2011 at age 94, taught marketing at Wharton for 31 years, retiring in 1982. During the entire Trump presidency, from January 2017 until January 2021, a total of 63 U.S. military service members lost their lives in the war in Afghanistan, reports the Defense Casualty Analysis System.
thank you Donald Trump for:
Being indicted for stealing nuclear secrets-- Indicted for stealing war plans -- Called a r---t by a New York judge and convicted in a sex abuse case At least 18 women have accused Donald Trump of varying inappropriate behavior, including allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault. -- Charged for his illegal payoffs to porn stars-- Started a riot on January the 6th, an insurrection--Had ’fake electors,′ in this fraudulent scheme to steal votes from millions and millions of Americans in seven swing states -- Called the Republican secretary of state in Georgia to steal enough votes so he could steal Georgia--Said he would terminate the Constitution to get back into power

Despite the obvious age related issues and clumsy political rhetoric, Biden has probably been the best US President in my lifetime. His achievments have set a positive tone and direction for the USA for generations to come. Meanwhile, Trump the “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.
Trump will leave office with a historically bad economic record
John Harwood, CNN Updated 4:41 PM ET, Sun December 13, 2020
Trump's throwback "America First" agenda has failed to restore the old economic engine that powered an earlier era's prosperity. On Trump's watch, industrial production has fallen. The Federal Reserve says the manufacturing sector fell into recession in 2019 even before the coronavirus pandemic hit.Last week was the 38th in a row in which at least 700,000 Americans filed first-time claims for unemployment benefits.Holiday-season lines at food banks dramatize the scale of human suffering. More abstract measures, such as the US trade deficit and ratio of government debt to the size of the economy, have also worsened during Trump's term."Trump's economic record ranks near or at the bottom compared with other presidents," concludes Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi, who compared the economic results of all presidents from the last 70 years. "The economy under his watch has performed very poorly."

The president who has had the lowest approval rating is former President George W. Bush, with a 19% rating in a survey carried out by the American Research Group in 2008.
Here are the six other presidents with the lowest approval ratings following Bush:
Harry S. Truman polled at 22% in 1952.
In 1974, Richard Nixon had a 23% rating.
Jimmy Carter polled at 28% five years later.
In January 2021, Trump had a 29% approval rating.
George H.W. Bush polled the same as Trump in 1992.
Biden makes the list with his 33% rating.

Most of our national debt was a result of Republiconservative administrations.
Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?
A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.
Clinton/Gore handed Bush/Cheney a surplus.
Federal deficits and debt were sharply higher under President Obama, but the evidence showed that the Great Republican Caused Recession of 2008, President Bush’s tax cuts, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq explain most of the deficits that have occurred on Obama’s watch — as reported by the Congressional Budget Office. Bush/GOP legislation enacted is what lied behind current deficits and debt.
The goal of reining in long-term deficits and debt would have been much easier to achieve if it were not for the policies set in motion during the Bush years. That era’s tax cuts especially for the wealthy — and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan account for almost half of the debt that we owe.
The national debt under former President Trump rose another $7.8 trillion amid his tax cuts for the wealthy and spending. It was a crisis even before the COVID-19 pandemic.
That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.
