She's too brown anyway. Kristi Noem is the right color and is crazier and looks kinda like Nimrata if you squint a little.

I'd much rather live in CA, but I can't afford to do so.

I agree that she'll calibrate, but I doubt she wins the primaries. There will be a passel of mediocre white guys that can play the smug, overconfident asshole type popular with the base more convincingly than any capable brown person, especially if that person has lady parts.

It will be Tom Cotton. He steered clear of the sedition and he has a few years to rehab the stolen valor scandal.

Republicans want a smart fascist next time.

The acid test for Republicans? WWLD.

He would use increasingly strong forms of acid.

It'll be interesting if OHJB stands aside in 2024, leaving VP Harris as the putative nominee. Would the Greene Party run Nikki Haley in the battle between women of south Asian descent?

Nikki ain't happening in 2024. To the base, she's just Kamala Harris lite.

I originally thought it would be Liz Cheney, but since she honked off the cult, that ain't gonna happen.

I think there's an unread copy of that stashed somewhere upstairs. I really need to read it.

Why would Greene Party nominee Haley? Is she a Russian agent?

You said Iowa! That means we can all start talking about the stupidly disproportional influence they have on presidential electoral politics.

Jeff Bezos has always been going to do it. Bill Gates agreed to be the distraction away from Bezos, and his foundation gets 30% off the top (allegedly).

Yes, famous Iowa! Colour me paranoid, but that seems to enhance seditionist J___ H_____'s chances at the starting gate, Iowa being few light-years away from -- that state JH comes from. Now we can see the 11-dimensional Parcheesi strategy of it all.

OHJB is only going to serve one term. He's teeing up VP Harris to run in 2024. The only drama is which "normal" white guy she's going to have to select as running mate.Me, I'd like to see a Harris/Duckworth ticket, but there might be a question about whether the child of an American soldier and a person from the local population would be considered eligible for the presidency. Hell, as a person born into the same situation, my father made sure that my mother gave birth to me in an American Army hospital some 60 km from where they lived, and that was just so I wouldn't have any problems with citizenship when I was born.

It is fun watching all these republican wannabe's try to manage their perceived run for president in 2024. Nikki is trying to break loose from the pack, hoping that in the future she'll be more right than they were.
