“So, she doesn’t want voters that are aware of all voting options?”

I think you nailed it. The author thinks voters should be kept in the dark. Odd. Maybe we should ban all real education too. Let’s keep everyone in the dark.

It seems that journalists like being “gate-keepers of information.” Not only that, but we should all approve that they keep secrets.

What’s the mindset that we are supposed to have? Perhaps it is something like this: Yes, I’m glad you mislead us, because other people would do the wrong thing if they knew the truth. Thanks for the censorship!

“ABC pretending to look out for Republicans.”

Yes. Our one-party press routinely tries to help us. Something like: Shoot yourself in the head. You’ll get everyone’s sympathy.

“journalists like being “gate-keepers of information.”

One of the most effective tactics liberal media has is blacking out or ignoring a story or information that goes against their narrative.

Dispicable yes, but effective none the less.

Or they just look straight into the camera and flat out lie.

For example:

As Picabo Street (Olympic skier) was heard to say, second place is “First Loser”.

Maybe I’m ignorant of how the Nevada process works, but I was under the impression that the “None of These Candidates” option is really just symbolic because it can’t actually WIN an election.


Nevada has been a caucus state when it came to choosing Presidential candidates.

The Democrats decided to abandon the caucus system and passed a law requiring a non binding Presidential Preference Primary if more than one candidate is running for office.

The Republicans choose to keep the caucus system and are running a purely symbolic primary with no impact to comply with the law.

Easy to spin this: “Nikki Haley: Second to None!” Oddly, it’s a campaign slogan with some truth in it.

It’s been tried before, wasn’t allowed. I remember reading about it in the 80s.

It was a symbolic “we hate Nikki’s guts” vote.

I congratulate all Nevada voters who stood tall and delivered that very clear message.

Hey Douglass, None of these has been around since 1975.

And furthermore,

Haley...became the first presidential candidate from either party to lose a race to “none of these candidates” since that option was introduced in Nevada in 1975.

Haley’s viability and ground game is a fraud.

What’s to know? No one wants her. She lost. Nevada made fools of themselves.

Well , what can you say about a candidate who loses to none of the above, in an election where Trump wasn’t even on the ballot?
How can she and her handlers spin this as some sort of victory?


Well in the USSR, they had "elelctions", in which a citizen was given a ballot with only the name of Communist Party candidate. The citizen could either cast the ballot as printed, or cross out the name of the candidate. The Party's candidate always won. Nevada tried a similar system in their Republican primary, but Tricky Nikki lost to no one. We still have some faint hope.

What if somebody changes their name legally to “None Of The Above”?

As long as you don't list that person on the bottom line of the ballot, he will still be "above" the true and worthy "none of the above" option. So you'd have two lines saying "None of the Above" with the last line being below the rest. So:

1. John Smith
2. Jane Doe
3. None of the Above
4. None of the Above


Since #3 is, in fact "above", you would easily know that this is the human candidate. While #4, however, is the furthest below and therefore is not "above" anything.

So a vote for #4 would be an outright rejection of John Smith, Jane Doe, and that pinko commie-lovin "None of the Above" who has an ego the size of the moon and as a danger to our way of life.

Even a Pennsylvania voter could figure that out.....I think.

MAGA voters now know Nikki’s agenda very well. More foreign wars to pad benefits for her benefactors, the MIC (Military Industrial Complex). And compromise with democrats when confronted. What a contrast she is with Vivek who made his own fortune, While Nikki has sucked on government tit all her career.

People may not know she’s an anchor baby

Which explains why she doesn’t hold desr many things traditionally American

All I did was tell people her birth name

But she IS a major poser

Just like Barack Hussein Obama

“Just like Barack Hussein Obama”

Right. The day after BO’s inauguration, one of the ladies in my quilting group was incensed. “Did you hear what his middle name is?!?”

I said that we’ve known that for years because we pay attention instead of watching American Idol.
