The fact that the former president could barely win New Hampshire tonight speaks to the weakness of his candidacy. I have thoughts.

You say, "When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean."

The Democratic Party & Republican Party are also a hoax.

Trickle-Down Economics, Weaponized Law & Order of Democratic/Republican Party Fascist Duopoly/US Fascist Ruling Class, implemented by US Fascist Ruling Class against Working Class. US Fascist Ruling Class uses Weaponized Law & Order to deny Working Class Labor a SEAT AT THE TABLE, a legitimate Working Class Political Party.

@rbreich Thanks to the fact we have the electoral college system, that P.O.S. may win again by 40,000 votes, or so. That system was designed to let the minority win more often than not. It has roots in white supremacy.

A complete failure of the media misrepresenting Republican primaries results. The electorate needs more people like this calling it for what it was.

“Today he won just 53 percent of the vote in New Hampshire’s Republican primary, to Nikki Haley’s 45.9 percent. A 7 percent margin is nothing for him to brag about (although he’ll brag).
For a former Republican president, his showing tonight in New Hampshire and last Monday in Iowa is pitiful.”

@rbreich Did Nikki (as 2nd place for Republican primary) get more votes than Biden (1st place for Democrat primary) last night? What count and percentage of Nikki's votes were from actual Republicans?

WAPO is selling a different version, calling it a "massive win", referring to his "momentum". People are being sold Trump as the entitled nominee.
I hope S. Carolina shows him up. I'm not a Nikki fan but I do like her persistence, and she's certainly under his skin, forcing gaffes that prove her point of his mental decline.

@rbreich of course she got a lot of votes. Over 70% are self proclaimed democrats. They were disenfranchised by the Democratic Party stripping New Hampshire of its delegates for following state law. So many turned to vote against Trump and she still lost. The real test will be in states that don’t allow non-party members to vote in party primaries.

@rbreich thank goodness for that!

@rbreich It would be wrong to see his opponent in the primary as somehow a decent person and preferable. She was a Southern Republican governor. How did that come about?

Exactly, 54% only…

Biden isn’t so strong either. Neither can lift 15lbs without throwing their backs out

He's weak and washed up. He'll lose to general, bigly.

Off topic but I wonder if it might be an idea to leave Substack for your own blog and that way own your own content.

“Biden wins with huge margin on the strength of write in votes: why this spells disaster for 2024.”

@rbreich Ugh, so he won? Not that any of the ballet options were good, but it would be reassuring to see him squirm and I don't think the other one would destabilize the world, as he would.

CNN refers to it as a crushing defeat, tbh I think she did better than anticipated.
