Hayes is to be commended for his optimism, but we need to be honest with ourselves and each other about what’s coming. He’s following the same approach as the New York Times, saying that “It’s going to be okay” and that the “guardrails” will stop Little Trump and his handlers from implementing their agenda.

Little Steve Bannon gloated within the last day that yes, Project 2025 is the agenda. I’ll add that the Republican Study Committee in the House is poised to inflict theirs as well. And I’ll add that given Little Trump’s lies about what he would or would not do at many points in his unfortunate time in the public spotlight, we cannot cling to notions that Angry Right Wingers will not pursue their stated and planned agenda. I’ll note that in his victory gloat on Wednesday morning, Little Trump essentially kicked RFK Jr to the curb already. My understanding is that on Wednesday, he also reaffirmed his intention to do mass deportations of migrants and to get those revenge prosecutions going so he could try to put his opponents into prison. He’s serious about this.

The forces around Little Trump have literally spent the last two years planning carefully to make their moves once they got full power again. To think that they’ll look at a poll and say “Oh well, we can’t do that now” is utter nonsense. Their response to that poll will be to use one of their preset Right Wing propagandists like Rasmussen or Trafalgar or Insider Advantage and announce “See, the American people do want this. Let’s go!” I’ll add that the mainstream pollsters are going to respond to this election result by following Trafalgar’s lead and leaning into Right Wing voters and opinions for the next decade or so.

This is going to be an extremely dark and violent period in American history. Wishcasting for that not to happen did not help the Jewish people in Germany in the 1930s, and we shouldn’t do that here. What is needed is for us to document the atrocities as they happen for posterity. This website will be essential for that, provided that the Vance White House doesn’t try to target it. (And given the publicly cheered comments from Little Trump about dealing with “the enemy within”, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try something.)

They’re going to come out of the gate swinging. We can expect a nationwide Fetal Personhood bill within 2025, along with a devastating Tax/Social Security “Reform” bill from the GOP House which will effectively wipe out Social Security for Middle Class Employees up to 59 years old while once again skyrocketing their current taxes. We can expect an extremely violent crackdown regarding migrants, including massive forced deportations and a return to the family separations and the “throw them in the Mexican desert” policy. We can expect a series of vindictive prosecutions of Little Trump’s impeachers, including the Biden family, VP Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, etc. We can expect a series of prosecutions of people in BLM, and people suspected of involvement with Antifa. The insurrectionists of January 6 will be pardoned and celebrated as heroes. We can expect hateful policies towards the gay and trans community, just as the Pence White House did before. The Department of Education is being thrown in the trash. The National Labor Relations Board is being thrown in the trash. Massive tariffs will be thrown against multiple countries, especially China, and prices will skyrocket. Protestors in the US will be forcefully arrested and prosecuted. And that’s only the beginning of 2025. These guys have a long, detailed agenda and they’re going to run it. Anyone thinking that the “guardrails” will stop this agenda is forgetting that Angry Right Wingers control much of the judiciary, so court challenges will simply be laughed out of the room. Remember, these are the same judges who were given “credibility” when they mostly blocked the obvious nonsense of Little Trump’s election challenges after he lost in 2020. Now that he’s indisputably won, they’ll use that credibility to tell activists “You didn’t complain when the law worked the way you liked, so you don’t get to complain when the same law isn’t what you like.”

Scooter is correct that the American electorate chose this path. They do want this. They figure that it doesn’t matter if Little Trump is an unrepentant convicted felon (which means right and wrong no longer matter, and nor does the basis of having laws) so long as they can return to a fantasy time when things were “great” rather than the pandemic wasteland the Pence White House abandoned us to and which killed over a million people in this country alone.

I don’t agree with Scooter about future elections. We will still have them, but the next two or three national ones are going to the GOP in a big way while the Dems try to figure out who they are now. We shouldn’t have any illusions about the 2026 midterms, which will go solidly to the GOP as enough Dem activists are cowed into staying home as happened in the early 2000s. Remember that it took until 2006 before the Dems fielded candidates that could win again after W was selected by the Supreme Court. This time, it will probably take twice that long, given that Angry Right Wingers now control all three branches, including much of the judiciary.

As far as a solution at this time, I have two. The first is, again, that we must document the atrocities as they happen. We must do so with clear eyes and without false excuses for what is going on. We must document the attempts by Angry Right Wingers to do evil and to both cover up their violence or lie about why and how it happened. We must speak up for the people who are being attacked, which will include us. We must remember the words of Martin Niemoller. The second solution, which will be taken by those who can, is for sane people to consider their options about where they are living. When Little Trump squeaked through in 2016, multiple people I knew simply left the US. One director I’d worked with for over 15 years returned to his home in France and told me he would not return to “Trumpland”. More people I know now are planning to leave, simply because they are concerned for their safety. We will all have to weigh the issues of whether this is possible or necessary. I know people who are justifiably worried about the fascist policies that are coming and the violence that will go with them.

As for Chris Hayes and the New York Times and this discussion about “guardrails”, I can only say that we don’t have the luxury of hopium at a time like this.

Ellen, I hear your frustration, but I strongly disagree that the story here is somehow VP Harris using the “wrong strategy”.

Her strategy was to reach out to everyone. That includes voters of all types, from Republicans who did not like Trump to progressives, to younger voters who had never participated before. And each time she reached out to a different group, someone would say that this group was exactly the WRONG group for her to reach to. And the critic was just as likely to be on the Left as to be an Angry Right Winger.

We can all cite anecdotes of what this or that person said, and it won’t change the basics here.

It’s absolutely true that many Americans willfully blinded themselves to the catastrophe of the Pence White House, whether it was in terms of the vicious bigotry, or in terms of their attack on Middle Class Employees while enriching the wealthy, or in terms of their packing of our judiciary, or in terms of their deliberately sabotaging the ability of agencies like the CDC to function. And in addition to the economic effects of tantrum tariffs, and the world turning their back to this country in revulsion, we had the final year where Pence and Little Trump’s bungling resulted in the COVID pandemic killing over a million Americans.

It’s unbelievable that those many Americans chose to set aside any thought of right and wrong, and any thought about laws meaning anything. Little Trump committed numerous outright felony crimes in his tantrum over being the loser of the 2020 Election, including trying to pressure local officials into throwing out legitimate votes, while simultaneously demanding that they “find” him invented votes so he could say he won. Little Trump stole numerous complete classified documents and flaunted them in front of his dinner guests in Florida. He stole federal campaign funds and gave them to his fixer, and then committed felony fraud in trying to hide whee they’d actually gone.

VP Harris made an excellent case that Little Trump was not a serious person but that he posed a very serious threat to our democracy. Millions of American voters decided that they didn’t care, and that they’d rather vote for a convicted felon anyway. That’s a shocking choice for anyone, and the shock is compounded by realizing just how many people took this unfortunate step.

Unfortunately, this was likely the final waystation.

People keep posting nonsense memes saying “It’s going to be okay”. One has to wonder if those people have actually read Project 2025, or have read the Republican Study Committee’s annual budget proposals. Or if they’re aware of the Far Right movement to pass a Fetal Personhood law designed to be a back door Nationwide Abortion Ban.

We’re past the point of hoping that the Dems can figure out a way to reach voters who have already drunk the Kool Aid from Angry Right Wing propaganda outlets like Breitbart, Glenn Beck, Fox, Newsmax, etc. The 2026 Midterms are almost certain to be a disaster for the Dems on the order of the 2002 Midterms.

We can agree that the Dems will need to spend time rebuilding and regrouping. It will probably be another 8-12 years before they can mount a successful presidential campaign again. But that assumes that the Angry Right Wingers surrounding the new Vance White House aren’t looking to dismantle as much of the government as they can before then.

This is going to be an extremely dark time, and an extremely violent one. And nothing about what acting president Vance and his childish tantrum spokesman are planning is “okay”.

Clay Travis is not a credible person. He’s an Angry Right Wing propagandist who set up a Right Wing sports website and parlayed that into getting himself onto AM Radio. He can be counted on to take the most extreme, bigoted positions possible, likely to increase his notoriety. He models himself from unrepentant bigot Rush Limbaugh, whose AM timeslot he and Buck Sexton were allowed to take for the moment.

Clay Travis’ one claim to fame is that he was asked to go on Brooke Baldwin’s CNN show in 2017 to discuss ESPN and Jemele Hill’s appropriate condemnation of Little Trump’s antics at the time. Travis used that moment on CNN, in front of a female host, to opine that he only believes in “the First Amendment and boobs”. He’d been hoping to get away with that one, since he’d tried it out on his own radio show in the past. When Baldwin realized what he was doing, she immediately cut his mic and threw him off the air. He’s never been allowed back on CNN again, and he likely never will be. Past that, he’s never apologized.

Travis seems to think this kind of behavior is acceptable. When in fact it is not. He likely picked this up from Limbaugh, who prided himself on doing and saying the most vicious things he could, such as attacking Michael J. Fox for having Parkinson’s, or Sandra Fluke for standing up for women’s rights, or President Obama for having the temerity to be elected, or generally just using the most vicious epithets he could get away with it.

I’ll add that it was Republicans who refused to recognize MLK Day as a holiday for decades, and who cast aspersions at MLK himself for that long before deciding they could appropriate his rhetoric for themselves.

This sounds suspiciously like the unnamed “people” who supposedly told Little Trump that they “couldn’t believe what they’re finding” back when he was trying the racist Birther nonsense about President Obama in 2011. He clearly thinks the electorate has no memory of his behavior over the years if he’s going to lie so blatantly.

Interesting that McCallum tried to pull the old “some people say” canard in her rant.

Let’s be clear that the whole 25th Amendment idea has nothing to do with President Biden giving a bad performance at the debate and everything to do with Angry Right Wingers wanting revenge for 2020. They’re hoping that everyone forgets that multiple people, even in the Pence White House, were actively discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to deal with Little Trump after his attempted insurrection of January 6, 2021. So trying this little ploy now is just more of the “See, we threw it at you too!” game.

This doesn’t change that President Biden was terrible at the debate. Nor does it change that Little Trump was equally terrible there – if anything, his ranting has become even more unhinged than we’ve seen before.

But the gloating and game-playing that we’re seeing from Angry Right Wingers, such as nonsensically invoking an Amendment they clearly don’t understand, is both sadly typical and as usual, despicable.

President Biden’s performance at the debate was lacking, which was unfortunate. But the actual content of what he was saying was correct.

Little Trump’s performance was his usual barrage of falsehoods and attempts at bullying. And the coverage essentially has said as much.

In other words, Biden having a pretty slow night does not change the fact that Little Trump embarrassed himself. It just means that people are focusing more on the former than the latter.

Lindsey Graham should consider himself lucky that he’s not in prison for his criminal behavior in trying to silence the voters of Fulton County. The only reason he isn’t currently in the dock for that one is that Fani Willis decided to limit the number of defendants to less than 20. His frantic attempts to project his own criminality onto President Biden are pathetic.

There’s really no point in giving even a moment’s consideration to Gutfeld’s constant frantic attempts to be outrageous and get attention for himself.

But we can at least keep in mind that any Angry Right Winger who chooses to support a convicted felon for president has just completely forfeited any claim they will ever have to anything approaching morality. They have every right to want to elect a convicted felon, and we have every obligation to make sure they don’t succeed. But the Right Wingers never get to talk about “law and order” or how “character counts” or anything else ever again.

And just to be clear for anyone who might have forgotten things that literally only happened only five minutes ago, things were not so rosy at all under the Pence White House and its childish former spokesman. This country was not safe, nor secure, and prices were not under control at all. When the Pence White House was appropriately driven from office, the country and the world were in the midst of a deadly worldwide pandemic as a result of the Pence White House’s gutting of the professionals who could have headed it off. The country and the world were far from safe, and Pence’s childish spokesman was the laughingstock of the international community, having been literally laughed off the stage of the UN General Assembly and the US Congress. Prices were outrageously jumped higher during the hoarding and panics of the pandemic. And that was after the GOP inflicted the Tax Transfer of 2017 which skyrocketed the federal tax burdens of Middle Class Employees in Blue States by thousands of dollars per year. And that’s not even to get into the hundreds of ghastly and inappropriate idealogues that the GOP had rammed into our judiciary and onto our Supreme Court. One supposes that Gutfeld was happy with the situation at our southern border, which did have less people seeking asylum – because the Pence White House had made the border a toxic and dangerous place for refugees, where their children would be taken from them and hidden while the parents were tossed back into the desert.

It’s understandable that Angry Right Wingers would like everyone to forget these facts, but the rest of the country hopefully remembers them.

The reason Windsor’s recording makes people queasy is because this is the same approach taken by Andrew Breitbart and his acolyte James O’Keefe.

To be clear, this approach (secretly recording people with whom one disagrees in order to get them on tape saying embarrassing things) was started by liberal Michael Moore in several of his films. But Moore never went to the lengths that we see today. He would content himself by recording himself trying to talk to the gate person at a plant in Flint on the day it was closing, and showing how petty that person was acting. This got pushed a little farther with groups like The Yes Men impersonating CEOs and getting Right Wingers to drop their usual defensive postures. And Sasha Baron Cohen made a cottage industry for himself in posing as Borat and other personalities and getting rooms full of people on tape saying and doing embarassing things (including Rudy Giuliani later on).

But it was Andrew Breitbart who then began pulling the notion of trying to find embarassing video of non-Right Wingers, usually editing any exculpatory material out so that the video could provide maximum outrage and hopefully get his target humiliated and fired. James O’Keefe pushed Breitbart’s tactics even farther with his Far Right outlet Project Veritas, which in turn inspired many other Angry Right Wing propagandists to copycat him.

Windsor is clearly taking a page from O’Keefe’s book here, and yes, it’s cringe-inducing. At the same time, it’s instructive. Alito has no problem coming out as solidly Far Right and openly divisive. At the same time, Roberts comes across as desperately trying to protect his integrity and that of the Supreme Court, even as he regularly rules from the Far Right anyway. But Roberts’ objections to Windor’s Rght Wing premises are still notable.

The more important stories about Alito and Clarence Thomas have already been public for some time. Both men are badly compromised and should have been impeached off of the Supreme Court long ago. Thomas obviously has serious conflicts of interest and serious bias problems. And Alito is an open leaker, having happily blabbed about the infamous Hobby Lobby decision. It is almost certain that either Alito or Thomas or Ginny Thomas leaked the unfortunate Dobbs decision in 2022 as a way to lock in the votes of Kavanaugh and Barrett.

If Abe Fortas needed to resign from the Supreme Court in 1969 and thus instantly give Dick Nixon not one but two appointments and radically swing the SC to the Right, then both Alito and Thomas should step down today. The difference, sadly, is that neither Alito nor Thomas has the sense of morality, ethics or general propriety that Fortas had. And the problem here is that Angry Right Wingers are frantically clinging to the idea that somehow those values don’t apply to the Right Wing.

Just to note again, Clay Travis is not a credible person or a legitimate news pundit. He’s a crank, and a fairly mean-spirited one. He’s modeled his frantic attempts at getting attention on his idol, the deceased unrepentant bigot Rush Limbaugh. This started with his Angry Right Wing sports website Outkick, and accelerated once he was able to make some outrageous comments on the radio and get away with them like Limbaugh.

Travis’ most telling moment in his life was his 2017 opportunity to go on Brooke Baldwin’s show on CNN to give an Angry Right Wing opinion about the then-current brouhaha about ESPN host Jemele Hill calling out Little Trump for his bigotry, racism and obvious advocacy for white supremacism. And what did Travis do with this opportunity? He proudly announced that he only believes in the First Amendment and boobs. When Baldwin immediately stopped him and gave him a chance to think about what he was doing, he repeated the sexist comment and said he was proud of it. At which point Baldwin tossed him off the air, and CNN has never allowed him to return.

Travis currently co-hosts the replacement Angry Right Wing AM radio show for Limbaugh’s, along with fellow Angry Right Winger Buck Sexton. It would seem that Travis is now desperately flinging whatever outrageous comments he can on a regular basis to get attention for the radio show – whether that be to advocate for trial jurors to break the law or whether that be for Little Trump and other Angry Right Wingers to stage revenge prosecutions just because Little Trump is being held accountable for his felonies. Frankly, Travis outburst on the Fox show sounds more like a tantrum than anything else, akin to the ones being thrown by Little Trump himself.

Scott is obviously just saying what he thinks Little Trump wants to hear, and it’s quite chilling to see that he has so little regard for voters and the messages they send at the ballot box.

I also must point out that the 2017 GOP Tax Transfer already punished millions of Middle Class Employees with a massive tax increase rather than a cut. The Transfer provided a nominal reduction for Working Class Americans but we’ve seen that this reduction amounted to about 5-7 dollars per week. Which was more than offset by their increased healthcare costs thanks to the GOP trying to gut the ACA and by their decreased purchasing power thanks to the Pence White House’s ill-advised tariffs against China. The GOP only allowed that nominal reduction of a few dollars per week so they could spin the Tax Transfer as benefiting “everyone across the board”. Which would be correct if your measure was anyone seeing even a single dollar in tax relief. But would not be correct if one sets the floor as low as 10 dollars per week.

And yes, Angry Right Wingers in the GOP intend to go farther, much farther, if they are allowed to set policy in a new White House figure headed by Little Trump. To start with, they’d hit Working Class and Middle Class Americans with larger product costs even past inflation. And then they’d gut Social Security for everyone up to the age 59.

It is more important than we can put into words that every single person vote this November.

Holloway does not have a shred of credibility. He has compulsively posted on social media to try to undermine the various prosecutions of Little Trump.

He’s mostly known for his hatred of the Fulton County DA, and his breathless recounting of every single potential setback for that prosecution. He has openly cheerled attempts to have the DA removed or disbarred at every possible opportunity. When those attempts resulted in a two month delay and the bizarre spectacle of the hearings, Holloway played every moment as presaging doom for the DA and supposed victory for Little Trump.

The posturing by both Holloway and Turley has been to downplay the possibility of any prosecution of Little Trump happening at all, so it’s natural that they would both be defensive about the fact that the New York trial has made it past their blockades. It’s natural to them that they would attack the judge – since Little Trump has been doing so as a signal to all of his fans to wave that spark into a fire.

When Little Trump is convicted of his felony crimes, we can count on Holloway and Turley to try to discount that too. Holloway in particular is consistent in playing this entire situation (ie Little Trump having committed felonies and now attempting to avoid accountability) as one of “Heads, Little Trump wins, and Tails, Little Trump wins.”

Which is probably appropriate for a fan of Little Trump as Holloway is. These guys never could admit that Little Trump is actually the loser of the 2020 Election, or that his frantic attempts to avoid admitting being a loser has only deepened his problems.

Travis is a thoroughly despicable person and this is not his first desperate attempt to get attention for himself by saying something unacceptable.

He tried to make a name for himself in 2017 by going on Brooke Baldwin’s CNN show and exclaiming that he believed in “the First Amendment and boobs”. When Baldwin realized what Travis was trying to do on her show, she immediately removed him and CNN made clear that he would not be permitted on their airwaves ever again.

Travis and Sexton are working hard to try to collectively be the next Rush Limbaugh in the Angry Right Wing AM radio circuit. It’s unknown how they’re doing in any concrete way, as the AM radioverse is now replete with Limbaugh copycats, each trying to be more offensive than the last.

In the current matter, Travis’ open advocacy for someone to try to derail the first criminal trial for Little Trump should be taken seriously. He’s not joking about this. He wants a juror to lie to the judge so he can rupture the trial and thus prevent justice from happening, which would then allow Travis and Sexton to gloat about Little Trump getting away with yet another crime at the expense of the “libtards” that Travis so openly hates.

Given Travis’ comments and his lack of remorse, one would think that there should be some consequences here. One obvious consequence would be to take Travis off the air and fine him. Another would be to subpoena him before Judge Merchan and have him held in contempt of court and placed in custody for a month. Or both could be done. But it isn’t acceptable for Travis to openly try to undermine a prosecution without paying a price for it.

Turley has not even a shred of credibility, much less anything approaching a moral high ground.

The reality is that Turley has been shamelessly deflecting for Little Trump for years, and his latest antics are only the most current examples we have.

Turley is understandably afraid of what will happen when Little Trump is actually being tried in court for his multiple felony crimes. And Turley is even more afraid of what will happen with voters when they are informed that the GOP is trying to support a man who is soon to be a convicted felon.

So Turley is supporting the various games that Little Trump’s unpaid attorneys are playing to try to run out the clock and keep any of the prosecutions from getting to trial before November.

What’s actually happening is that Little Trump’s hush-money trial in NYC will begin in two weeks. His RICO trial in Georgia looks like it’s going in the summer, after the judge bats away the nonsensical attempted smears that Right Wingers flung at the DA there. The Supreme Court will hear Little Trump’s outlandish claims of total immunity in another month or so and give their opinion likely in June, which will set up the DC January 6 trial to go by late summer. And that doesn’t even get into the stolen documents case.

Whether Turley likes it or not, the wheels of justice are not going to stop turning just because Little Trump wants to pretend he’s being persecuted rather than being prosecuted.

Little Trump, aka Pence’s childish former spokesman, sounds like he wants people to think he’s enjoying himself in court. In reality, as Ellen correctly notes, Little Trump is terrified of the consequences of his felonious behavior.

And if he really thinks an “honor” to be indicted 91 times for his felony crimes, one has to wonder how thrilled he will be when he gets convicted and sent to Leavenworth.

It’s frankly been interesting to see Angry Right Wingers panicking about Taylor Swift. I’m not sure that attacking her and her fans is a winning strategy, but Angry Right Wingers tend to fall back to that. The problem here is that Swift mobilizing her fans, even a fraction of them, to get out and vote this year, could be a game changer in several states. Personally, I’m all for it. There are plenty of sensible people in Red States, and if this is what it takes to get them to the ballot box, it’s a good thing.

Fox has absolutely no moral ground to say one word about insults, given that they have made their entire business model from insulting everyone with whom Angry Right Wingers disagree.

Are we seriously meant to believe that Fox viewers are clutching their pearls over being challenged for their bigotry, when Fox has specialized not only in cheerleading the most vicious of personal attacks (see: thousands of examples from Jesse Watters, Hannity, Carlson, O’Reilly, etc, etc etc) but they’ve also encouraged their on-air personalities to engage in them. Everything from disgraced pundit Glenn Beck projecting his own issues and calling President Obama a “racist” to James Taranto on Hannity’s show in 2011 calling President Obama “a pathetic little man”. And that doesn’t even touch their gleeful joy at watching Mike Pence’s childish former spokesman constantly throwing tantrums throughout the unfortunate epoch of 2017-2020.

Honestly, do these people really think that nobody can remember their vicious, bigoted, hateful comments from even two minutes ago?

There’s a big reason why O’Reilly is hypocritically outraged about his books being pulled. Since he no longer has his cushy position at Fox after he was fired in disgrace for sexual harassment and worse seven years ago, he depends on Right Wingers buying his “Killing” books in bulk to give him an income. He certainly isn’t making much of a profit with his podcast, where he regularly begs listeners to give him money. So he needs the places where there are lots of Right Wingers to go buy his books in large quantities.

And O’Reilly did not previously have any problem with DeSantis and Angry Right Wing Florida officials banning books he personally doesn’t like. O’Reilly has repeatedly spoke out in praise of Florida’s behavior in these areas. It was only when O’Reilly found his own books in the crosshairs that he suddenly rediscovered the 1st Amendment – and only for himself. In his tantrum about this situation, he’s again stated that he thinks other books he doesn’t like still should be banned.

I must note that O’Reilly’s books are a questionable affair in the first place, and it’s easy to see how they fell afoul of the Florida censorship rules. In addition to being poorly written and poorly researched (almost completely by O’Reilly’s “co-author” Martin Dugard), they usually are loaded with salacious details from questionable sources. O’Reilly’s unfortunate ramblings about “Killing the Mob” and “Killing the Legends” include all kinds of saucy assertions about Hollywood and Elvis and John Lennon, etc. Which of course fuel the usual Angry Right Wing hatred of Hollywood and various celebrities. And there’s the matter that all of those O’Reilly books are in a series he has enthusiastically titled “Killing (fill in the blank)”. As far as having any scholastic value, it would be an extreme uphill battle to prove such about anything O’Reilly has written. One supposes the books are useful as evidence of O’Reilly’s own personal issues and biases. Even though we have plenty of that from his public tantrums and unfortunate comments over the years.

Ellen is correct that no book should be banned – the whole notion of that is an obvious assault on the 1st Amendment. But it’s more than a little interesting to see a disgraced Angry Right Wing pundit being hoist by his own petard.

Ingraham is working overtime to once again ingratiate herself with Little Trump. But she’s not thinking clearly here. What is she going to do after Little Trump is convicted of his felonies and his voters flee him? At least one-third of the Iowa GOP caucusers made clear that they will not support him after he’s convicted. The GOP is going to need a viable candidate after Little Trump is remanded to custody and sent to Leavenworth for the first of his prison sentences. One would think that even Ingraham knows that they’re going to have to turn to Nikki Haley before the convention if they don’t want to have a complete disaster there.
