I Like “US Senator Matt Gaetz” Better, Anyway

November 21, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination to be Trump’s next Attorney General after almost everyone, but a few, made it clear they couldn’t vote to confirm him. I honestly thought this was a trick play a few days in and Gaetz was never the guy, especially after Trump named Rubio for Secretary of State. … Read more

Trying Too Hard? – I Received Nine Pieces of Pro-Haley Mail in One Day

January 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Every presidential season, I tell myself I should save all the mailers and see how much I end up with when the primary ends, but I never do it. This year would have been epic, but with a week to the Primary, things appear to have gotten out of hand.

Now That Chris Christie Has Dropped Out …

January 11, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Chris Crispy-Creme-Christie has left the building. He’s done. Finished. Fini. No longer will he run for President. He’s still running (to be Nikki Haley’s AG if you are familiar with my presidential campaign conspiracy theory), and he still has campaign money to burn. And he’ll do almost anything to stop Mr. Trump.

DeSantis And Florida Took the Janus Decision to Its Next Logical Step

January 5, 2024January 4, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Teacher’s Unions are sinister private entities whose only concern is how much money they can make and how best to use that to impact politics at every level of government. Sure, Janus v. AFSCME was a great decision, but the war against public employee unions continues, and Ron DeSantis is leading that fight.

January 3, 2024January 2, 2024 Op-Ed

A perfect record, the governor predicted, would guarantee a chance to compete for greatness, inspiring his 5-year-old son to take a Sharpie in hand earlier this year, stand on his tiptoes, and lovingly graffiti the front of the DeSantis campaign bus.

December 27, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Night Cap: Nikki Haley Picks Ron DeSantis’ Pockets – Walks Away With his NH Primary Base

December 23, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Neocon Nikki has momentum. Not against Trump, not yet. The Donald’s base continues to back him no matter what. That significant lead is not currently in jeopardy – like that or not. But Haley’s campaign vacuum has been sucking up DeSantis supporters, and it’s killing him.

Trump Campaign Pokes AFP in the Eye

November 30, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Every time I write something about how Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP) appears to be wasting money trying to convince people Trump can’t win, the local AFP – which has no control over any of that – gets a heads up. I have friends at AFP-NH, so a big hello (you know who you are).

Pro DeSantis PAC Ties Nikki Haley to Hillary Clinton

November 27, 2023 Steve MacDonald

As Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis get closer to each other in Republican Presidential Primary polls, demonstrating at least a sliver of separation from the rest of the dwindling pack, the battle for second place was bound to get a bit more personal. And it has!

DeSantis Tells the RNC (very nicely) to Kiss His Ass …

November 14, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Kudos to Governor Ron and the DeSantis campaign for pushing back on the Ronna National Committee (RNC). The Party tried to prevent presidential candidates from participating in an upcoming round table event in Iowa. The Party said it was a debate, and if they attended, they could be excluded from their debates.

Bananas GOP 3: Return of the Son of Ramaswamy

November 12, 2023 Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

The Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, Florida, was the site of the third Republican debate. Missing from the stage were candidates Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and that guy Doug, as was the Reagan Library plane that disappeared like the hopes of the three vanquished old white guys.

Nikki Haley on the Warpath

November 3, 2023 Op-Ed

Nikki Haley’s enjoying her moment. She’s inching up in the polls and, through her side job — ostensibly suspended during her campaign — of getting us into a war in Iran, has greatly benefited from the Hamas attack on October 7th.

Vivek Hits It Out Of the Park At NHGOP’s FITN-Summit

October 14, 2023 Ed Mosca

Perhaps Ron DeSantis’ campaign would NOT have nosedived IF he had answered questions about UKRAINE and J6 like this. Instead, we have gotten platitudes on these two defining issues.

GOP Throwdown Numero Dos: A Bananalysis

September 29, 2023 Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

Coming to you from the late, great state of Calexico the Republican Party held its second installment of seven people all competing for the least popular job in America. The scenic environs of the Ronald Reagan Library, where a replica of Air Force One hung as if in a perpetual state of about-to-crash, symbolic of … Read more

How DeSantis Lost The New Hampshire Primary … And What He Needs To Do Next

September 24, 2023 Ed Mosca

Let’s start with what DeSantis needs to do next. Abandon New Hampshire … IMMEDIATELY. And say why … BECAUSE NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF REPUBLICANS NATIONALLY; they are much more liberal than Republicans nationally, and I am NOT a good fit. Then focus on Iowa and South Carolina … reducing expectations for both, AND … fix his dysfunctional campaign.
