Gee, how is Nikki Haley going to describe the racism of Trump's new birther conspiracy theories about her, since she's already thrown her hat in with the "racism isn't real" right-wing crowd?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

If he had gotten his way: he would have very quietly, very hypocritically gone to some other country, gotten the procedure done there, and then happily have a super pac write the whole thing off as a fact finding mission.

Haley and DeSantis are finding out the hard way that they can't market themselves as the successor to Trump while Trump is still alive and out of prison and able to run against them. (And you can bet that as long as he remains both of those things, he will keep running year after year.) But at the same time, you aren't going to get enough Republican voters interested in you if you don't market yourself as the successor to Trump either.

This would be awesome if it weren't contingent on the possibility of Trump himself running and winning remaining on the table.

See, here's the thing about a cult: you can't name yourself the successor, the cult leader has to do it, otherwise the cultists will not embrace the new guy.

Here's the thing about trump: he's never going to name a successor, because that means he won't be in charge and making money anymore. The cult dies with trump, and desantis and haley can spend as much money as they want desperately trying and failing to convince brainwashed people to abandon their messiah.

Absolutely no chance anyone sneaked in an extra takeaway bag or three with a bunch of Trump votes, no sir.

Conservatives think university graduates are brainwashed because university graduates tend to disagree with brilliant conservative ideas like "trickle-down economics really works", "white supremacism is a reasonable and fair response to economic insecurity", "global warming is a hoax", "all the horrible things we did during the Cold War were totally worth it", "slavery wasn't so bad", "refugees are only coming here to rape your daughter and steal your Ford F-150", and "poor people make excellent fertilizer". And who could possibly disagree with such eminently luminous ideas if they weren't brainwashed, right?

For a minority to deny that white racism exists is the worst form of self-degradation. Nikki, you can kiss white confederate asses all day long, but they will never consider you to be one of them. At best, they'll consider you a useful and loyal house servant: a token to be trotted out and put in front of the cameras whenever they're accused of racism.

Who even needs the Purge when they can just officially brand undesirables as subhuman and declare a permanent open season on them?

He had momentum after the midterms. He had FOX in his corner. He had X Formerly Known as Twitter. He had the big GOP donors.

He got called a meatball and dropped out.
