Maybe she’s listening to the social media experts who believe Trump is going to prison and then she’ll become the nominee!

Oh man, they finally got him:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... biden-list
Donald Trump finished 45th and rock bottom of a list ranking US presidents by greatness, trailing even “historically calamitous chief executives” who failed to stop the civil war or botched its aftermath.

Worse for the likely Republican nominee this year, his probable opponent, Joe Biden, debuted at No 14.
Not sure how Trump can come back from this.

Oh and let’s see what these scholars have to say about Biden:
“Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall,” Justin Vaughn and Brandon Rottinghaus, the political scientists behind the survey, wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
So his greatest qualities are beating Trump, potentially beating Trump and not being Trump. Is 14th really high enough given all of those achievements?

It'll make it all the more awkward for Biden when he loses to Trump in November

Well, at least he's unlikely to have any bad (or other) memories of the experience.

Trump crushed Haley in South Carolina. Haley is only staying in the race in her efforts to do a Bradbury.

Yep, 60% to 40%. Actually closer than many were predicting, but not nearly close enough to suggest that she ever had any realistic chance of winning this (or any) primary.

Actually it wasn't always that way. Lincoln was Republican, albeit the party was rebadged for that election under the name National Union party.
