Despite Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley spending massive amounts of time and resources in Iowa, President Trump is pulling away according to the latest polling.

IOWA – Donald Trump’s support now tops 50% in Iowa, where the former president has strengthened his already overwhelming lead over Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis — neither of whom has fully broken away as the clear second choice.

When CNN announced they were hosting two debates for the GOPe candidates in Iowa and New Hampshire, the supposition was that the RNC had given two debates to the network.  The assumption was because the RNC, and the four remaining first-loser candidates, had previously held an agreement that only RNC sanctioned debates would be permitted, and the candidates would only attend RNC sanctioned debates.

However, it turns out that fake news CNN went rogue in organizing the unsanctioned debates.

There are multiple facets worth considering, and considerable ramifications within the entire construct.

First, the RNC didn’t even know about the plans of CNN.  “The respective debates, set for Jan. 10 in Des Moines and Jan. 21 just outside Manchester, aren’t sanctioned by the RNC, which has organized the first four debates, including Wednesday night’s broadcast in Alabama,” according to Politico.  Additionally, “campaigns have continuously complained about current RNC rules, which say a candidate who participates in an unsanctioned debate is barred from future RNC-approved gatherings. But the RNC’s debate committee is expected to meet Friday to discuss officially removing that rule, according to three people with knowledge of the group’s plans.”

Fake News CNN lived up to their nickname by not even informing the debate venues of their plan prior to yesterday’s announcement.  It’s all very weird and curious:

In an effort to stop Godzilla Trump, the RNC is hosting their fourth GOP primary debate for the first-losers who wish to challenge the overwhelming support of the republican base.  At this point in the polling, none of the first-losers reach double digits and President Trump is 50 to 60 points ahead.

President Trump is not participating in the Alabama debate which will be broadcast or streamed on all NewsNation platforms at 8:00pm ET, including its TV channel, its app and its website. An audio feed will be available on SiriusXM’s Channel 111, and we have a Rumble Link below.

Only four candidates qualified for the debate.  Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley.  The moderators will be talk-show host Megyn Kelly; Eliana Johnson, the editor in chief of The Free Beacon; and Elizabeth Vargas, a NewsNation anchor.

Consider this an open discussion thread for those watching.

On November 29th, JPMorgan CEO said those who control American politics should donate to and support Nikki Haley {LINK}.   A week later she brought her tin cup to Wall Street.

(Via NBC) – Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley raised over $500,000 at a massive fundraising event in New York Monday attended by top Wall Street financiers, according to people familiar with the matter.

The sheer amount of money Haley raised reflects the formidable and financially viable campaign she is creating. At this rate, Haley’s campaign could be well positioned to compete against former President Donald Trump, first in the Iowa caucuses, and then the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.

The venue for this week’s fundraiser was the luxurious Upper West Side penthouse of former Facebook
executive Campbell Brown and Dan Senor, chief public affairs officer at the hedge fund Elliot Investment Management, according to people familiar with the matter. The address was only provided to guests who RSVP’d.

Poor meatball is being kicked to the curb by his BFF Paul Ryan.

Then again, on the DeceptiCon playground of the professionally Republican, the cliques are always so tenuous.  Former Ryan endorsed Ron DeSantis now has big sad watching the ‘Never Trump’ GOPe run to Nikki Haley as their best hope to stop Godzilla Trump.

(Via Politico) – […] during a flight from Canada to D.C. on Tuesday morning: former Speaker PAUL RYAN attempting to persuade Rep. MIKE GALLAGHER (R-Wis.) via text message to endorse Haley’s presidential bid.

“I think now is the time for a guy like you to endorse,” Ryan wrote, per photographs reviewed by Playbook. “Plus, Her foreign policy/world views track closest to yours. She brings the most excitement. I like Ron, but don’t think he is the growth stock Niki [sic] is. Just following up per our talk [in] September. Go Packers!”

Said a Gallagher spokesperson, “As Congressman Gallagher has repeatedly said, he has no intention to endorse any candidate at this time.” A spokesperson for Ryan, who opposes DONALD TRUMP’s re-nomination but hasn’t endorsed an alternative, noted that the former speaker publicly praised Haley as “the growth stock” in a CNBC appearance yesterday.

How badly do the high-finance and multinational trade groups want to eliminate the threat President Trump represents?  Badly enough to support organizing all elements of the leftist electorate to vote for Nikki Haley in the Republican primary.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon made this suggestion earlier today at The New York Times DealBook Summit to discuss the 2024 presidential election.  WATCH the first minute:

In the era where they refuse to accept their irrelevance, billionaires and their political money are easy parted.  So goes the game of grift amid the professional political class when contrast against the power of We The People.  It’s actually quite funny to watch and doesn’t annoy me one bit.

Charles Koch, a man of notorious disposition who loves open borders and multinational trade – which puts him on the outside of the America First movement, had previously pledged to spend $70 million (through his Americans For Prosperity political action committee) to remove President Trump.  Today, Charles Koch selected Nikki Haley over Ron DeSantis to be the vessel for his effort.

Via Daily Mail – The conservative U.S. political network headed by billionaire Charles Koch on Tuesday endorsed Nikki Haley for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, saying she was the best candidate to beat President Joe Biden next year.

It is the latest boost for the former South Carolina governor who has seen her stock rise with strong debate performances and improving poll numbers.

Her traditional conservative positions also align with the Koch network, which uses its money to push for tax cuts and less government regulation.

Setting out its reasons, the group said beating former President Donald Trump in the primaries was a top priority.

President Trump knows how to deliver the political optics that diminish the competition, and his appearance at the South Carolina Palmetto Bowl did exactly that to Nikki Haley.

(Via Daily Mail) – [President Trump] “received a warm welcome from fans in South Carolina as he took his seat at Williams-Brice Stadium for the school’s rivalry football matchup with Clemson.

The 5-6 Gamecocks are hosting the 7-4 Tigers in the conservative-leaning state that former US President Trump won in both 2016 and 2020. But while the bulk of voters in South Carolina are Republicans, USC happens to be in Richland county, which overwhelmingly voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

However, the fans in attendance at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night still appeared pleased to see him, with footage on social media showing Trump earning cheers as he takes his seat in the stands.

The Daily Caller has an interesting synopsis of the donors who are now rallying behind Nikki Haley.

The billionaire donors named in the outline are the same donors who backed Jeb! in 2016.

(Via Daily Caller) – […] “I’m a long way from making my mind up — something could change — but I’m very impressed with her,” billionaire co-founder of Home Depot Kenneth Langone told the NYT. “I think she’s a viable candidate. I would certainly like her over Trump.”

Langone has already contributed to Haley’s presidential bid, and is weighing donating additional funds, according to the NYT. Another Home Depot co-founder, Bernie Marcus, has endorsed Trump.

“It’s invigorating to be truly excited by a candidate again,” Jonathan Bush, CEO of Zus Health and cousin to former President George W. Bush, told the NYT.

Bush, who held a fundraiser for Haley’s campaign in early November, voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and libertarian Gary Johnson in 2016, according to the NYT.
