With trump's recent comments, it's hard to discern who is the bigger dementia patient. He keeps referring to Biden as Obama and thinks Biden is leading us to WWII. LOL. Also sez now Mexico will NOT pay for the wall. Duh.

Fair regarding the dementia patient comment. ThatÂ’s why we as a country need to demand better candidates on both sides. I donÂ’t know who really would be good on the dem side but Haley is an excellent candidate for the republicans. I mean can we have one election where I donÂ’t feel like vomiting if either of them win? I donÂ’t think thatÂ’s much to ask.

We wasted all the decent (not even good, but decent) candidates in 2008 and 2012. Obama was fine, and Romney and McCain also would have been fine. It's been all downhill since then.

Soooooo, Nikki Haley is a major pro-lifer; is against DEI; is against normalization of transgenderism, especially concerning men playing in women's sports, and bathrooms in schools. She believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. She's in favor of expanding charter schools. Haley also wants to make concealed weapon permits easier.

Aren't these are all social issues?

I thought social issues were verboten among some on this board???

Uh oh, maybe I shouldn't of mentioned this. It could be akin to informing those pro-Palestinian insurrectionists that Russia supports Hamas!!

Hi lou errrr uncle Joe! no one has said they are verboten.

Haley isn’t a perfect candidate, I’m never going to agree with a candidate on everything. I don’t like her view on guns for one but my guess is if she won the nomination, she’d ease on that in the general. She is my favorite based on the pool of candidates available. She’s pragmatic, has both domestic and foreign experience, tough but seems willing to reach across the aisle as needed.

I agree with her on pro-life but she’s also not someone who rams stuff down people’s throats based on what she believes like some on the right and left do. In fact, she said on the abortion issue to stop demonizing women, which I can appreciate.

I’d like someone in office with some common sense. That’s been lacking for a very long time in that seat and she seems to have it in spades

Covenant Eyes. Really?

You have an issue with a parent monitoring their minor son's Internet usage?

Eric Swalwell, who was on the Intelligence Committee and married, sleeping with Feng Feng a Chinese Spy, Really?
If you are fine with this Swalwell activity, and not a parent monitoring their minor kid’s behavior online, then you are morally bankrupt. Just as Lefties are.
And yessir. THAT is personal.

It appears to work both ways. So, the son gets a full report on everything that happens on his dad's devices; and they pay for this app each month.
I think that would raise some security concerns given his position in the government.

Swalwell confirmed that the FBI informed him that he was targeted by a Chinese intelligence operative but he was clear that he cooperated with law enforcement immediately and stressed that he was never accused of wrongdoing.

“The bipartisan House Ethics Committee had this case for over two years. They had the power of subpoena. They received answers from me in response to requests for information. Today, they are closing this matter and did not make a finding of any wrongdoing,” Swalwell wrote.

The smear did work though on some people.
