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.

To make a point which should have been obvious. The level of hate Trump has been subjected to, as a candidate and president, has *never* been seen in America.
They have it wrong as-usual. Haley = George W. Bush. Trump is more like Reagan, I.E., “peace through strength”, etc.
Wapo hated Reagan. Now they long for their memory of him.
Reagan would be appalled by the UniParty.
He was almost cashiered by them in ‘86 ovver the contrived Contras- Noreiga scandal which blew up on the UniParty who then tried to dump it his lap
Reagan was all about draining the swamp. He just went about it a little more cautiously than DJT.
I disagree. She's a LOT dumber. Romney managed to fool the voters in Massachusetts and Utah once each. Those states are polar opposites on the political spectrum.
But I will give them near equal grades in the "douche" contest.

It's just a goddamn embarrassment.
"Ultimately, Haley’s campaign mostly served a somewhat different but valuable purpose: showing how much of today’s Republican Party is defined by Trump and has little use for traditional conservatism.Haley’s campaign gave us a pretty direct test that has eluded us previously: what would happen if voters were faced with a one-on-one choice between Trump and the GOP of yesteryear.
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."
First of all, this juvenile journolist piece of trash was born a month before Reagan took office. What he knows about Magnus is what he was leaving in his goddamn diaper, ie, he doesn't know shit.
Secondly, Reagan broke Regan's shoes when asked about abortion, when Regan was aboard a campaign plane he told Reagan, 'well, you have this public face about abortion, being pro-life, but we're going to maintain Roe', and Reagan lit into him, told him he regretted signing those California bills, and made it clear he was pro-life.
Regan -- who is one of the biggest douchebags in American history -- took it personally and colluded with Nancy from the get-go, making Reagan promise to nominate a woman, with Sandra Abort O'Connor already chosen, to dump/replacing Baker in '85 as CoS.
I mean, that is absurd on its face. Bezos gonna send this jug-eared pissant back to Minnesota.
Reagan was not a Neocon.
1. I was in DC when Reagan was running for POTUS and for his first 2 1/2 years in office, and I read the Compost quite a lot. They HATED Reagan with a passion - a passion only exceeded by the hatred that today’s media has for Trump. That they bring him up (as if they would like someone similar to him to be the Republican nominee) is amusing.
2. Reagan’s substantive position on most issues was pretty much the same as Trump’s positions are. Their styles and personalities were/are obviously very different, but both were/are supreme patriots, and they wanted/want the US to be prosperous and strong, with government assuming the smallest roll possible in society. Yet, the Compost seems to think that Reagan wouldn’t be saying many of the same things today. Again, this is quite amusing. They must be counting on the total ignorance of anyone reading their birdcage liner.
Somewhere up in Heaven, Pres. Reagan is shaking his head and saying “There they go again...”
If she can’t decide whether to endorse Trump over Biden, her endorsement isn’t worth a damn.
Oh how nice of the washington comPost to remind us of how much they LOOOOOVED Ronald Reagan.
half the Republican establishment hated Reagan
40 years from now the WaPo will use Trump to bash whoever the current Republican is.
Great post—here are some links that prove that you are correct:
and on and on and on and on....
Incorrect - The party of Bush is no more.
So true, they still do.
Trump is Reagan unexpressed.
We ALL wanted unlimited economic nationalism when Reagan was running, but it was very much believed that our revolution -- and that's what it was -- would continue under Poopy. *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit* *spit*
