The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In his 'victory' speech this evening, Dementia Don spent more time attacking Nikki Haley than he did thanking New Hampshire voters, even whining about her "fancy dress." He threatened her, saying he could reveal information that would lead to her investigation.

Haley, in her speech, said: "With Donald Trump, you would have one bout of chaos after another: This court case, that controversy, this tweet, that senior moment."

And Haley said: "With Trump, Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We've lost the senate, we've lost the house, we lost the white house, we lost in 2018. We lost in 2020, and we lost in 2022."

Her crowd replied with: "Trump’s a loser!"

Meanwhile, MTG said Haley's numbers are fake: "Nikki Haley doesn’t have this much support."

What the numbers suggest so far:

Trump predicted he'd win by 30 points. Looks like he'll win by about 12.

Official polling said Trump would win by 22 points. So much for polling.

Elections analyst Dave Wasserman called the race for Biden (who was not even on the ballot) before he was comfortable calling the race for Trump (although that came shortly after).

Haley crushed Trump with Independents.

Best line of the night came from Haley: "The other day, Donald Trump accused me of not providing security at the capitol on January 6th."

Looks like Trump did poorly with college educated and young voters.

Haley has an ad buy in SC... we'll see how long she wants to hang around. Unless she does remarkably well in SC, no reason to drag this on. Maybe she's hoping for something interesting when Trump testifies this week (still a coin toss that he takes the stand).

"That's All Folks!"
