The former South Carolina governor still trails the ex-president, but has made strides in polling ahead of the New Hampshire primary

    “in New Hampshire” is the important caveat here, and this is an outlier-low for Trump poll too. nationally she continues to poll anywhere from 30 to 50 points behind him, and in any case it’s not a given that “winning New Hampshire” is capable of catapulting her to victory with a Republican electorate that clearly likes Trump a lot

      At this point there’s a huge swath of Republican voters who don’t know who the heck she is. Trump may have done the right thing by snubbing the primary debates because he’s managed to help keep the knuckle-draggers who form his base ignorant of the other candidates who aren’t trying to out-Trump Trump himself.

      I hadn’t heard of her but reading her wikipedia page it seems she was pro-LGBTQ+ and anti white supremacy when she was governor, but unfortunately been reversed since she started to run for president. Probably to appease the hard conservatives. However much republican she is, she sounds way better than Trump tbh. Which is a low bar to reach of course.

      Also whatever denomination, I think it would be good for America to have a female (and native indian) president for once. It shouldn’t be a job for geriatric white guys only.

    dunno, shes doesnt quite exactly fit the foxnews look… shes got the parroting part down solid, ill give her that. shes is excellent at repeating the talking points handed to her.

    the thing is; a warm body thats not trump might have a chance against the cold, dead body slated to run again for the conservatives democrats
