Welcome to The Campaign Moment, where the last major non-Trump and non-Biden candidate is now out.

The big moment Today the key moment is Nikki Haley dropping out of the presidential race the morning after Super Tuesday and effectively bringing the Republican primary contest to an end.

Haley announced her exit Wednesday after winning the Washington, D.C., primary on Sunday and Vermont on Super Tuesday, but losing more than 20 other contests to Donald Trump.

“I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard,” Haley said. “I have done that. I have no regrets.”

Haley declined to endorse Trump yet, urging him to convince her voters to support him. Haley’s lack of endorsement stood in contrast to many reluctant establishment voices, like GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday, rallying around Trump.

That’s what the headline should say.

The Trump GOP IS the Reagan GOP. What the author means is the Bush Sr GOP is no more. And good riddance to that.

“AARON BLAKE
Journalist
BIRTHDAY
October 9, 1982”

As a 6 year old he may have been dimly aware of Reagan. Now he gives us his assaholic lecture of what the Reagan era was.

Not really. Most of the Reagan GOP went on to be corrupted and thence became today’s oh-so-buyable-and-biddable GOPe that we all know and loathe.

The Post wants a Republican Party that is the Washington Generals to the Dems’ Harlem Globetrotters - the token opponent and designated losers.

I remember 1980. I forcefully advocated for Reagan with my German neighbors, they were sure he would start WW3. Over a two month period at the local gasthaus, I parried their arguments entirely in German.

On my first visit after Inauguration Day, I was invited to sit at the Stammtisch, a table reserved for family and close friends of the family. I cherish that honor to this day.

Nikki you were NEVER a Reagan Republican.

Ah no. The Bush/Ford/Dole/McCain/Romney GOP is over. Reagan was all about peace through strength and freedom.

It’s not November 4, 1980 anymore.

Too bad. That was one of the greatest nights ever. 😁 I was one of the few Republicans at Rhode Island School of Design. People were shrieking like the nukes were gonna start flying that night.

Nikki is a Bush republican: establishment all the way. Keep that money trough flowing in DC. Trump isn’t a Reagan, but he’s a helluva lot more like Reagan than Nikki will ever be.

LOL these scum bags despise Haley they just saw her as their useful idiot. She doesn’t have actual “supporters” she has Democrats who voted for her just to mess around with Trump and will vote for Biden in November. When you have 83 percent of Haley voters in Virginia saying yesterday in exit polling that Biden is doing a good job that is all you need to know..if they think Biden is doing a good job why the hell are you voting for Haley, I think we already answered that question

“Haley exuded the Reagan and George W. Bush eras. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more prototypical standard-bearer: conservative but pragmatic, fiscally conscious, hawkish on issues like Russia and Ukraine, and uninterested in the right wing’s almost-singular focus on provocation.”

Reagan and Bush are the same. Reagan wanted war with Russia. Reagan was a hawk for nazi Ukraine. And Reagan was uninterested in the so called “right wing”.

This clown has no clue. So tell us what Reagan thought of abortion, where he would stand on trannies teaching 1st graders and showing them pictures of blowjobs, of closing our manufacturing and sending it to China. Of the invasion at the border.

Clown.

The Reagan GOP?

That whirring sound you hear? It’s Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave over what the GOP has done to his “Shining City on a Hill”

It’s alive and well... except he was momentarily on the stage as a man for his time.
Trump is that today. Different times. Different man.

“Haley exits the race — and proves the Reagan Bush GOP is no more”

I could not agree more. The original headline is so laughable.

The Bush GOP wasn’t like Reagan’s party either. Trump is closer.
