That is what he is offering. The strong-man model is what the Republican base is enthused about. That is something that sets him apart from every other Republican candidate. I think we are naive to think that he's tricking people into supporting him and then, surprise, he's going to act like a dictator. What he is offering is strong-man politics, the end of elections, the end of politics, the sidelining, or the domesticating of the judiciary and the Congress. He will be the man in charge and they will get it done. That's what he is selling. That is what they are very eager to buy.

...

JEN PSAKI, MSNBC: How did we get here? How did we get to that stage where you have this person who has such a control of a political party? Even beyond the politics of it, where that appeal of the strong-man argument, this worship of dictators, is so appealing to a large swath of the country?

Haley on Tuesday night said that a victory for Trump in the primary was a victory for President Biden in the general. It’s not so cut and dry, but the polling suggests that she’d be a tougher matchup for Biden than Trump would.

---

Quote:

---

Yes, Trump does currently lead Biden in most national and swing-state polls. But Haley also holds her own against the likely Democratic nominee, despite her relatively low name recognition. More critically, Trump is disliked by a majority of the American people, and that is unlikely to change (we are all extremely familiar with Donald at this point). Only a little over 37 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Haley.

---

Quote:

---

Given that Trump has been airing lots of ads portraying Haley as too liberal, it’s likely that a disproportionate share of Haley’s detractors consist of Republicans who would ultimately come home for her in the event that she were nominated.

---

Quote:

---

The 52-year-old Haley also would have thrown the president’s advanced age into even sharper relief. Given Biden’s high disapproval numbers, he will need to convince many voters who do not like him that they despise the alternative even more — so much more, in fact, that they should bother to turn out and vote for an octogenarian they resent.

In this respect, Trump is a far more useful foil for the president than Haley would have been.

---

Quote:

Loser: The Koch network

When Haley’s star began rising in 2023’s final months, she received an influx of cash from Trump-skeptical Republican mega-donors. Perhaps the biggest catch was an endorsement from American for Prosperity Action (AFPA), the billionaire Koch family’s political vehicle. Warning that Trump would likely lose to Biden in a general election, AFPA devoted tens of millions of dollars to Haley’s long-shot campaign to break his stranglehold on the GOP.

Oops.

It’s possible, maybe even likely, that all that money narrowed the gap between Haley and Trump. But the goal was not to lose gracefully; it was to win. And with Haley losing in her best early state, it’s clear now that this goal is out of reach. The Kochs may well have lit their money on fire.

Of course, the Kochs have money to burn. But the defeat runs even deeper than the loss of a few millions: It’s a devastating blow to their ideological vision for the party.

---

Quote:

---

Broadly speaking, traditional Republican elites like the Kochs believed in a party that would advance extremely conservative priorities — especially lowering taxes on the wealthy — but do so within the confines of “normal” democratic politics. They were comfortable harnessing radical energies, such as their support for the Tea Party protests in 2009 and 2010, but ultimately believed they could keep a lid on the base’s passion.

Obviously, Trump upended everything. Their last-ditch hope for 2024 was that the base could be made to see reason after the Trump-led GOP’s defeats in the last three election cycles. Haley, a skilled politician friendly to the Republican old guard, seemed like their best chance for getting their message across.

---

Quote:

---

That she has seemingly missed her shot reflects that these particular elites were living in the past. The Republican Party clearly belongs to Trump and his devotees. If the GOP’s billionaires really do believe that Trump is unacceptable, they now have one serious option: start opening their wallets for Joe Biden.

No it doesn't.

That was only due to some outdated outlier polls by Wall Street Journal, The Messenger/Harris X and FOX News that had Haley up on Biden* by 17 points, 10 points and 11 points, respectively.

Currently, Trump is +2.9 on Biden* and Haley is only up +1.1 in the aggregate, with a majority of the polls showing Haley losing to Biden*.

Arizona GOP Chair Resigns After Kari Lake Threatens "More Damaging" Recording

Update (1445ET): That didn't take long.

One day after the Daily Mail published a leaked recording of Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit trying to bribe Trump ally Kari Lake to stay out of politics for two years, DeWit resigned.

"This morning, I was determined to fight for my position," he said in a statement reported by Just the News. "However, a few hours ago, I received an ultimatum from Lake's team: resign today or face the release of a new, more damaging recording. I am truly unsure of its contents, but considering our numerous past open conversations as friends, I have decided not to take the risk. I am resigning as Lake requested, in the hope that she will honor her commitment to cease her attacks, allowing me to return to the business sector—a field I find much more logical and prefer over politics."

* * *

Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake called on the state's GOP chair Jeff DeWit to resign after a recording emerged of him trying to bribe Lake to stay out of politics for two years.

In the recording, first reported by the Daily Mail, DeWit, 51, can be heard asking lake to name her price not to run.

"There are very powerful people who want to keep you out," he can be heard telling her in a conversation recorded last March.
Jeff DeWit and his wife Marina with President Donald Trump.

He then, after asking her not to mention the conversation to anyone, makes his first offer:

"So the ask I got today from back east was: "Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?"

Lake is taken aback.

"This is about defeating Trump and I think that's a bad, bad thing for our country," she replied.

DeWit later framed it in a different way.

"Just say, is there a number at which -

"I can be bought?" Lake interjected. "That's what it's about?"

"You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you're doing," DeWit replied.

Lake repeatedly shuts him down, and says she wouldn't pull out for a billion dollars.

You can't predict your stock market profits for the year based on what is happening right now. You must wait until just before the end of the year.

Similarly, you must wait until very close to the election before making useful predictions about the winner. The only method that works for predicting who wins the White House is the system that makes its prediction in the last weeks before the election. The predictions being made now are moonshine for impatient people and chill pills for the mentally ill, for Trumptards.

6ix, I don't look at my stock portfolio more than once per quarter. Then there are the people who follow the hour-by-hour jiggling of the market indexes, which makes them go back and forth between ecstatic and erratic. That is not the way to make money. The same thing goes for the political polls. That is not the way to go unless you get paid to tell people about polls breathlessly.

For over a decade now though, they have felt like they were invincible. Invulnerable to criticism of their cynical pandering, with the full force of the media behind them. And it didn't matter how much money they were losing because there was always more.

Those days are over now.

And the irony is that it was Joe Biden* and the Democrats we have to thank for that.

Look at what Universal makes, sorted in order of how much money, adjusted for inflation:

1 Jurassic World
2 The Super Mario Bros. Movie
3 The Lost World: Jurassic Park
4 How the Grinch Stole Christmas
5 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
6 Despicable Me 2
7 Meet the Fockers

10 Bruce Almighty
11 Minions
12 Apollo 13
13 Liar Liar
14 Jurassic World: Dominion
15 The Mummy Returns

6ix, you don't have money, which is why Disney doesn't produce entertainment to please you. You are worthless to Disney unless you have money to buy a ticket. That is how free market capitalism has always worked.

Disney’s decision to oppose Florida’s “don’t say gay” law is all about appealing to Disney’s consumers. Republicans who most yearn to make America “great” again — aging, rural, white men — are at the bottom of the consumer totem pole and lack the financial clout to swing the free market. Conservatives just can’t handle the fact that their political ideology is toxic to people who buy tickets for Disney World and Disney movies.

Fox News agitator Laura Ingraham had previously warned that if companies like Disney didn’t “stay in their lane” — focusing on maximizing profit, but shutting up about politics — “everything will be on the table” if Republicans return to power in November, including “your copyright and trademark protection, your special status within certain states, and even your corporate structure itself.” GOP Senator Marsha Blackburn denounced Disney’s criticism as “how the woke left extremists are using corporations to push their agenda.”

Here’s the irony, though: While Disney controls municipal functions in Reedy Creek, its special tax district, it also foots the bill — for the fire department, sewer treatment, and so on. The elimination of that special status thus will save Disney $163 million annually, passing on $1 billion in debt to taxpayers in Orange and Osceola counties and forcing massive local tax hikes. So what in the name of Adam Smith’s invisible hand is going on here?

Back in April 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis officially dissolved the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The special district had been around since 1967 and allowed Disney to function as its own form of government. DeSantis and the Republican-led Florida legislature voted to dissolve Reedy Creek after DeSantis and Disney began locking horns in March 2022.

Are you unaware that most Americans have zero net worth because they spend all their money on crap: mindless "entertainment", drugs, hoarding so much stuff they need to rent extra space to store it, eating so much crap that obesity cuts years off their lives, drinking so much alcohol that it destroys them, borrowing so much money to purchase crap that they go bankrupt, smoking and tobacco chewing (both crappy habits that cause cancer), etc. Their lives would be peaceful and fulfilling once they stop endlessly seeking out the crap they treasure.
