Nikki Haley says that even if she loses todays vote against Trump she won't quit the race. Haley is expected to be playing the longshot game - firstly raising her profile by being the only running name soon, and secondly playing the small chance that something happens in Trump's legal woes that affects his nomination and she skims through by default of being the last person standing

DeSantis dropped out as he couldn't commit to wearing high heels for the next 4 years.

Trump pushes closer to to taking the nomination outright by winning New Hampshire but uses his speech to take pot shots at Haley as she commits herself to not dropping out of the race, likely frustrated that her entry makes his trial dodging efforts harder.

Not even near the White House yet and Trump is already nuzzling Putin's teat again and lining up future civilian deaths for self-interest

Love it and I very much look forward to their inevitable third clash in the courts where he will lose even more money

He won't be able to help himself - I do wonder though, should he get elected and the whole replace people with loyalists happens, would he be petty enough to go after Carroll?

Rhetorical question or do you need answer?

Interestingly Trump has stopped accusing EJC of stuff now and he’s targeting the legal system instead. That is a big victory against a blowhard.
