A Campaign in Peril: Nikki Haley loses Nevada Primary to "None of these Candidates" by 30-points

 




    The Associated Press declared “None of these candidates” the winner at 12:01 a.m. At the time the race was called, “None of these candidates” led with about 60% of the vote. Haley trailed with 33%.
    Besides Haley, the seven-person GOP primary field included former candidates Mike Pence and Tim Scott, who both dropped out of the race after the primary ballot had been locked in, as well as four relatively unknown hopefuls.
    The primary has no official impact on the race for the Republican presidential nomination with no delegates awarded. The Nevada Republican Party Presidential Caucus tonight will award delegates. 
    Republican voters who casted ballots in Tuesday's primary are allowed to participate in tonight's caucus, but the state party has barred candidates who appeared on the primary ballot from competing in the caucuses, forcing candidates to choose one event over the other. Haley chose to compete in the primary, while Trump opted to compete in the caucuses where he is expected to win most of the state delegates. 
    It's not the first time the "None of these Candidates" have won. Nevada lawmakers added “none of these candidates” as an option in all statewide races as a way post-Watergate for voters to participate but express dissatisfaction with their choices. “None” can’t win an elected office, but it came in first in primary congressional contests in 1976 and 1978. It also finished ahead of both George Bush and Edward Kennedy in Nevada’s 1980 presidential primaries.

I don't know why you would choose to enter a primary that doesn't award delegates vs. the caucus that does, but apparently, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Tim Scott and others did. 

My opinion here. This primary is over. If Nikki Haley wants any kind of future in politics, she'll bow out, honor her pledge to the party to support the primary winner and save herself the embarrassment she's about to get from her home state of South Carolina.

Why Swamp Fox Patriot: Story Behind the Swamp Fox Patriot

The Swamp Fox was the nickname of South Carolinian Militia Revolutionary War General Francis Marion. The movie, "The Patriot" starring Mel Gibson was loosely based off of Marion's life. Marion became a Revolutionary War legend for his unconventional fighting tactics in the swamps of South Carolina and Georgia. His fierce night surprise attacks terrified the British red coats and made him an American Revolutionary iconic hero. A lot of things in South Carolina and America is still named in reference to Marion. Columbia and the Midlands are home to the Swamp Fox Armory, a gun shop, and McEntire Air Force Base is home to the 169th Fighter Wing and 157th Fighter Squadron of the South Carolina National Air Guard nicknamed the Swamp Foxes. There's the Swamp Fox Club at Francis Marion University and the Regal Swamp Fox Theatre in Florence, SC. You can visit the Swamp Fox Restaurant and Bar inside the Francis Marion hotel in Charleston and order up a Dirty Swamp (Martini). So...

A Fight for Parental Rights: Illinois Democrat Legislator Proposes Bill that would charge parents with child abuse if child genitalia mutilation surgery is denied.

     The left loves to make the claim there is no war on parental rights, no one is trying to mutilate your child's private parts. That's crazy! It's all a made-up right-wing conspiracy, but they're gaslighting. It is happening.      The latest comes from a state legislator in Illinois who wants to charge parents with child abuse who won't get on board with child genitalia mutilation that they call "gender-affirming care".      Illinois State Rep. Anne Stava-Murray (D-Naperville) has introduced legislation to the Illinois House of Representatives that would make it a crime for parents to deny a minor child's access to gender transition and abortion services, calling it "child abuse" in a bill that seeks to amend the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act.     In the legislation, which Stava-Murray introduced February 6, she defines an "abused child" as anyone "whose parents or immediate family member, or any person respons...

Spain March 15, 2024     Last month the South Carolina House of Representatives and the State Senate both past bills in their respective chambers to consolidate six health agencies into a single agency in an effort to restructure the health-related functions of state government and comply to a new law passed last year.      In May 2023, South Carolina lawmakers approved, and  Governor Henry McMaste r signed into law  S.399   --a law which abolishes the current maze of health care bureaucracies of the  S.C.
