NH: Goodbye Nikki!! MANCHESTER, N.H. — Nikki Haley’s supporters cheered when she relayed the news at an event on Sunday that Ron DeSantis had just dropped out of the presidential primary. But his exit from the race — and his endorsement of Donald Trump — could make her quest to injure or topple Trump in New Hampshire on Tuesday far harder. “DeSantis dropping out virtually eliminates any chance Haley has at keeping Trump under 50 percent,” said Mike Dennehy, a longtime New Hampshire GOP strategist who worked on John McCain’s 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns. “There’s a chance now that Trump could get 60 percent of the vote in New Hampshire.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/21/why-desantis-exit-could-hurt-nikki-haley-in-new-hampshire-00136885

I truly wished he would have stayed out and run in ‘28. He’s a great governor and should have just stuck with that!

Should never had listened to any insider advisors. Should have supported Trump right off the bat.

Now we are left with Haley/McCain/Romney - the perfect candidate for weak Republicans, Dems, Deep state donors.

He endorsed Trump and called out Nimarata for being the RINO globalist she is. I hope Trump will be magnanimous and stop bad-mouthing him now.

Trump retired the Desanctimonious nickname, that's about all Ron deserves and he needs to get right with Trump by getting out there and campaigning for him.

LOL “Retiring” the name-calling.

Proves Trump is nothing but about HIMSELF. God forbid one “opposes” him, they are automatically attacked and treated childishly, which has trickled down to his followers who also constantly attack and name-call.

If Trump really didn’t like Ron, would he stop calling him names on a dime? Only because Ron quits and says he endorses Trump (despite all that abuse) does Trump immediately absolve him of whatever pretend sins he committed.

It is not about the country, it is about Trump.

Trump gets to meet the Maker before long. It will not be pretty. Consider that. Seriously, people referring to the wonderful God to pray to and align with, simultaneously lauding Trump as the savior and His instrument. Absurd oxymoron.

“Your ilk”. Just like Trump your Lord and Savior. Always attacking, always childishly insulting.

The poster is right….your insults just like your Lord, do NOT help you. Whether it’s insulting personally or what is observed on others.

You burn bridges. Even with people who are much more conservative than Trump, the flip-flopper.

Trump is most likely to lose the whole enchilada, so you better hope Biden stays on because he is by far the best chance Trump has of winning at all. Better hope no bait-and-switch to a much better younger candidate. The commie Dems will be out in force because they hate Trump, right or wrong (funny because he has so many Dem traits) as far as policy.

President Trump is not our Saviour ... His name ought to stir up a remembrance of there being 7 Trumps ... Christ said all but the elect would be deceived .. and Christ sure was not warning about a flesh man playing savior.

WOW ...what brand of religion do you practice ... You might need a bit of repentance yourself .. a couple of scriptures come to mind ... Pappy Francis' favorite '' Judge not lest ye be judged.. Course Pappy Francis twisted the meaning..

Matthew 7:1 -

1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

and the whole chapter of I Peter 4 ...

President Trump just might be ahead of you in the line, when all things are said and done. Consider that

Ego? lol! EVERY human who has EVER run for the office is, has been, always will be egotistical. ALWAYS! And our successful for President’s is as large as has been ever seen. And that’s a good thing.

“ilk” is an insult? You need to brush up on your vocabulary. That’s not an insult, just a statement of fact. And when you lecture me about insulting people then refer to Trump as my Lord and Savior, you have no business lecturing people about insults, civility and burning bridges.

It was inevitable. I’m glad he didn’t stretch this out until the convention.

“Not sure how they pull that off attacking others saying their vote isn’t needed and calling them names.”

LOL. You left out the part where all the DeSantis supporters are running around (and have been for months) saying “I’ll never vote for Trump!!!!”

So yes, we don’t need their votes, which we were never going to get in the first place. And we’re not going to lose any sleep over it.

All huh?

Good luck with out them. I always thought the point was to get all the votes you could.

Before you go off on me. I am on record as being willing to vote for either. But I guess I am part of “all” in your world. Not that that will change my vote.

Oh spare me the judge not. I’d like to see your views of Klintoon and the barbs thrown at various “RINOS” (never mind that Trump might be that). As well as Obama and so many over the years. Easy to find on FR and we all participated in much of it.

I have never screwed around and in fact never put out until married. Trump is far from that complete with cheating on many women while married. His boastfulness is on display for all to see including nonsense about being “the best….ever…ever”. Boastful at least, lies at most. Prideful behavior including that he has nothing to be ashamed of to God and nothing to confess or be forgiven for. Never mind his sliming of anyone against him in his mind, complete with personal attacks and slander. He is full of it.

Nope, I’m sorry, I dare say I might be ahead of Trump. I’m a sinner without any doubt, but in a ranking race I might very well be ahead, and I’d say many people would be too. Just a guess.

Can’t stand when people throw it back at you? Just like Trump.

There has been a LOT of mud-slinging around here AND by Trump. At some point the standard is who started it? Yeah, EverTrumpers started it, along with Trump, and don’t ever stop. It’s stock and trade to insult everyone.

As for “ilk”, it is used in a negative manner, a sly slight meant to impugn. But you sir, have done PLENTY of insulting over the years. I don’t forget who has spewed plenty of hatred and garbage. Usually 1-liners with simple insults and fightin words.

You act like he’s Lord, you get called on it.

And you all did it FIRST.

Agreed.

I am not a NeverTrumper either. I will vote for whatever R I have to while EverTrumpers kept threatening to do whatever Il Duce does, write him in, 3rd party, etc.

I’m no fan, moreso because of his acolytes, but I’ll do whatever I have to just to say there’s an “R” in place.

The antics of many of his supporters here make it hard to continue to support him. Trump himself makes it hard to continue to support him.

But Trump is still better than the alternative.

>>”Can’t stand when people throw it back at you?”

I’ve got no problem with anything you throw at me. It’s so easily refuted that it requires no effort. I actually wish you were better at it to make it more of a challenge. You’re obviously taking things personally and reacting emotionally, instead of rationally.

I’ve insulted people and I’ve been insulted by people. It goes with the territory. But I’ve never relied on insults as a substitute for factual and rational debate. You on the other hand? Well let’s just look at your most recent tirade. “You act like he’s Lord”. What’s the basis for that comment? The fact that I support Trump and think he’s by far the best candidate? If that’s your reasoning, I can apply it to you and your support for DeSantis just as easily. It’s an idiotic comment from someone who has nothing intelligent to say. If you’re offended by my description of your comment as idiotic, there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to sugar coat things for your benefit. If you can’t handle the truth, that’s not my problem.

I should feel sorry for you but I do NOT... Ol BJClinton used his public office to service his evil soul ... You think the Heavenly Father holds adultery as higher sin, than say bearing false witness? You think stealing is a lesser sin?

I have never screwed around and in fact never put out until married. Trump is far from that complete with cheating on many women while married.

You, oh holy thing ... lived your whole life and all you have left to do is bitch about somebody doing something you never got to do... Which is it? You want his judgment now or yours ... The only judgment you can do anything about is your own ... I am not the one you need to convince that you are better than the average joe... And no adultery is not one of my sins ... I have observed the destruction of many people suffering, collateral damage because of self centered peoples...

Nope, I'm sorry, I dare say I might be ahead of Trump. I'm a sinner without any doubt, but in a ranking race I might very well be ahead, and I'd say many people would be too. Just a guess.

I do not believe you are 'sorry'... I am not aware we get to 'rank' ourselves as being more holy than others... I accepted long ago I have NO power over who goes to hell ... there is a world of difference in saying 'Oh, go to hell", and declaring someone is going to hell... I suspect I am going to be surprised about who chooses Heaven and those who chose hell ...
