Biggest takeaway: CNN regularly allows Republicans to spew talking points virtually unchallenged for huge blocks of prime time and, in return, Republicans say it's the pro-Democrat news channel.

Why anyone watches CNN anymore at this point, I don't know.

Not much else to do at the bus station.

She looks just like Nimarata Randhawa.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nikki Haley’s goal in New Hampshire’s Republican presidential primary Tuesday is to “be strong,” she said at a CNN town hall Thursday night.

Polls, however, show she is much closer to Trump in New Hampshire, where she is expected to benefit from a more moderate Republican primary electorate — with undeclared voters also able to participate in Tuesday’s contest.

On a personal level, she said that while she experienced racism growing up in rural South Carolina, her parents told her that those experiences wouldn’t define what she could achieve.

Haley turned up the dial on her Trump criticism but also leavened it – this is a Republican primary after all – by frequently tying him to President Joe Biden and trying to portray the pair as twin threats to progress and national unity.

She asserted she would not preemptively pardon him, saying that she felt “everything needs to play out.” Haley also strongly suggested she does not believe in the type of blanket immunity Trump has recently argued presidents should have.

Haley was also asked whether she would end the United States’ long-standing commitment to a two-state solution to address the decades of conflict between Israel and Palestinians.


The original article contains 1,481 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

At this point, the GOP has far more in common with the Pakleds as portrayed in Star Trek: Lower Decks than they do with any current political party.
