Even if it is Nikki Hailey
Well, it’s primary day in New Hampshire. Last night, the first six votes in the New Hampshire went to Nikki Hailey. I’m sure she was thrilled as were Democrats, anti-Trumpers, and just about anyone who doesn’t want to see a Trump/Biden rematch. Of course with Trump’s double digit lead in the polls, it will be a tough ask to think that Hailey can prevail. But ask I will.
With this first primary the other odd thing is that Joe Biden isn’t on the ballot. In a political middle school fight among the Democrats, Joe couldn’t appear on the ballot and not upset South Carolina and the Democratic Party. So now his New Hampshire fate hangs in the balance of a write-in campaign. Like I said, middle school. But wouldn’t it be cool if the Biden lost. Maybe some unknown can take some of the delegates over Joe Biden. But because of the Democratic middle school fight, NO delegates will be decided by the primary. What? The delegates will thus have to be chosen. What? Or actually WTF? I guess democracy just flew out of the window early in 2024. Why not. It’s going to be an odd year.
But I still have an ask of the Granite State. Don’t give Trump or Biden the victory. I really don’t care who you choose instead. Pick your favorite comedian. Pick your least favorite politician. Pick your garbage man. But please, I beg of you. Please give Trump and Biden both a little hiccup to force them to wake up and at least address the people.
But no matter what, choose joy over politics. It’s the only way we will all keep it together in 2024.
