    Sort of a game theory poll. You can have Haley as president for sure (even though you prefer Trump or Biden over Haley) or you can take your chances with Trump/Biden. I greatly prefer Biden over Haley, but I find the prospect of Trump being president so awful that I would take Haley for sure over Biden possibly.

    I don’t prefer Trump or Biden over Haley and that’s not a choice.

    Haley would lose the maga vote and get demolished. She’s a better candidate but Trumps base would make the GOP pay for not supporting their god.

    Perhaps. Or maybe independents and centrist Dems and Repubs would bond together to elect Haley rather than chose Biden, who is obviously too old to be president (as, of course, is Trump).

    But this poll isn't about a hypothetical Biden/Haley matchup. It's about hypothetically either choosing Haley for sure, or taking your chances with Biden/Trump.

    I picked I’d prefer Haley, last choice. It was a tough choice between that and the one above it. If Biden were 5 or more years younger I’d probably go with Biden. My biggest issue with Biden, by far, is his age and that coupled with his weak VP as the backup plan.

    Who should we give credit to for the negotiated Medicare prescription prices and the Chips Act?

    I’d take Haley in a HEARTBEAT if it guaranteed no Trump.

    Trump had a better deal that all Americans would get Favored Nation pricing and Biden killed that before it went into effect... The deal you're talking about first gave these pharmaceutical companies billions in preemptive cash incentives to offset the costs... It's a tax ruse giveaway to the pharmaceutical industry, and the people NOT on medicare or medicaid have to pay full price still.

    Go to some honest search engine and find out the facts for yourself.

    that’s sort of the appeal. Our senile old fool has capable handlers that tell him what to do and he listens. Yours is a sociopathic 4th grader with an axe to grind that puts ketchup on steaks.

    Trump is NOT a sociopath.... he has major character flaws, I do know that, but he still wants what is best for the American citizen and our country. All the rest of these politicians, including Haley, are in it for power and government graft.

    Haley would immediately become MAGA to survive. And she isn’t an idiot, so she could actually do what Trump can’t figure out. Pass.

    Bless your heart, Rick. In my life I’ve never seen a more clear cut example of a sociopath than Donald Trump. A malignant narcissist to boot. But you’ve never seen things clearly so let’s just agree to disagree.

    No... bless your heart, BigCypressGator1981... Lol. Tell us what makes DJT a psychopath? Narcissism is a common trait, especially with LIBERALS in politics and in Hollywood, but I never refer to them an malignant. Now I have a new term by which to call them. Malignant narcissist Liberals... Lol, has a ring to it. ;)

    Disagree. If one could just become a contemptible piece of shit (aka MAGA) and it not make a difference then Trump wouldn’t have clobbered Desantis like he did.
