Shamelessly quoting my own post above here, but the debate "expert" here in this article interestingly makes the same point I made above about Nikki trying to ram the whole enchilada into a short space of time. Although we came at it from different angles. He faulted her for doing it in the debate but I gave her credit for doing so much better with it in debates where time limits are set- because off in town halls or solo interviews where she is given more time she just goes on and on to the point of weakening her point. Make a point or two then land your plane for crisesakes woman. Debate coach: One candidate got a B. The other almost flunked Editor’s Note: Todd Graham is a professor of debate at Southern Illinois University. His teams have won five national championships; he’s been named the national debate coach of the year three times and been presented with the lifetime achievement award in academia and debate. The other hiccup for Haley is that she debates as if she can win the whole debate, nay, the entire presidency, in this very instant right now if she jams as many topics as possible into each of her answers. Debt limit, supporting Ukraine, Iowa campaigning, renewable fuel standards and social security are all deep topics. Yet Haley mentioned all those and more in just one of her crowded answers.

Not quite an AOC pic, but you might be able to peep down her shirt Ocho.. plus the high heeled boots look good.
Yep. But in fairness, Ron does it too. It is one of the little dilemmas of reaching the top tiers in a campaign. Their staff tells them what the points are that need to be hammered and emphasizes the old cliche "that just when you the candidate are sick of delivering the same message, is the same point when the voters are just beginning to hear it." True within limits. Also true is that once they have gotten the message, you need to pivot and provide some fresh material. Desantis went through that when he thought that his main theme was going to be the woke stuff because it clearly worked for a long time. Then he woke up one day and people were saying "jezzuzzz, enough already."
Looks like Ron and Nikki wear the same boots. Wow, this could be a start toward unanimity within the party. Is this a great country or what?
Well, as Don Lemon said: "Nikki Haley is past her prime." Two weeks later, Don Lemon was put out to pasture. Funny dat. Not sure if he still alive. Might be working at Arby's somewhere.
The No Labels clowns -- funded by Republicans to undermine Joe Biden -- are about to get a lesson in court about proper disclosure. Campaign Finance Watchdogs Threaten No Labels With Lawsuit The centrist group has not revealed its donors as it prepares to back a third-party bid for the presidency. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/camp...abels-with-lawsuit_n_65a08a06e4b0acd97bc6fd55
Yeh, okay. Whatevah. In a related matter, NoLabels has made it quite clear that they are speaking with LOTS of people, everyone and anyone. This works for Christie because, if you read the fine print, he "suspended" his campaign. He did not end it. That is a distinction with a difference. If you are suspending you are telling the Federal Elections Commission that your campaign is still alive but inactive for now and you are still doing stuff and therefore are still spending campaign funds rather than returning them. So you can bet he will be bloviating somewhere in some form about considering NoLabels even though it is for them to offer - not for him to decide. But it lets him use his campaign funds to dick around and draw a salary and expenses for another year. Otherwise, Christie has run for president twice and is a proven non-vote getter. NoLabels doesn't need him on the ticket. They can get Romney to lose as well. No lack of losers. Larry Hogan, Romney, Huntsman, whatevah. Either Haley or Manchin or both can pull some votes. Whether it is a big "some" or a small "some" remains to be seen. But it certainly would be more than Tubby would get.
