In today's South Carolina Presidential primary, Trump defeated former Governor Nikki Haley by more than 153,000 votes but she is refusing to quit the race. She believes she, not Trump, can defeat Joe Biden in November. Retrumplicans don't really care about defeating Biden. They care only about Trump and nobody else. The Cult of Donald Trump is alive and well in 2024.

A more appropriate name for No Labels would be No Chance. No third-party Presidential candidate has won any electoral votes since 1968 when George Wallace won 46 by carrying Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Richard Nixon won 301 and Hubert Humphrey won 191.

Letter from Sara R. Nichols of Los Angeles in today's Los Angeles Times:
"I could not disagree more with your editorial's argument that the U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep former President Trump on the ballot. One of the first things one learns in law school is that if the meaning of a law is clear on its face, then that is what you go with.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits those who have violated their oath to the Constitution from holding office, could not be clearer, especially when seen in its historical context. Yet the cafeteria Constitutionalists on the U.S. Supreme Court took the appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision and abrogated that clear meaning. The justices took it upon themselves to actually nullify the clear language of a provision of the Constitution. Forget the Constitutionally required amendment process – they don't care. They are the Supremes, assiduously working their way toward a zero approval rating, as they bring democracy down with them. What an embarrassing and heartbreaking time to be an American."
Donald Trump has never cared about the law, the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. If he is re-elected President, he will pardon all his blindly loyal supporters who have been imprisoned after believing his election-fraud, obeying his command to "march to the Capitol and fight like hell" and taking part in a deadly riot.

David Frum, senior editor of The Atlantic and a former speechwriter for George W.
