Yes…let’s hear it for the carrot cupcakes! 😬 Nikki Haley LOOKS good—photogenic, that is. Sounds like the primaries so far are real yawners. But why don’t I get a sense that anybody acts like they’re aware of what’s at stake in this election! One of my closest relatives is panicking—pondering what other country to move to, if Trump wins! I vote for Canada; maybe New Brunswick, or, just north of Minnesota, maybe, in Ontario….

Thanks Rachel! This is a strange cycle (and deeply important) election cycle indeed ... I do hear from a number of folks worried about what happens to the U.S. if Trump gets back in the White House and carries through on some of his campaign promises/threats ... Looks like Haley is, at this moment a mix of a protest candidate (recognizing a sizable chunk of the electorate that wants anyone other than Trump) and a possible "Hail Mary" candidate should any of the criminal trials, court cases, take Trump off the ballot ... Onward to South Carolina in three weeks!

Yes: Trump is not well. Despite Texas’s reputation, the population is getting younger & historically, voter turnout has been only 30%! Beto lost to everyone’s least favorite Senator: Ted Cruz by only 2%--Texas could surprise everyone & flip Blue--I think it will; the Q is only how soon. The GOP has ways of suppressing voting which has helped keep them in power, including rejecting mail-in ballots. Hmmm...?

Agree 100% w your assessment of a Trump reelection: “I AM your RETRIBUTION!” Extremely frightening! I don’t think he is referring to “hummus!”
