Churchill became Prime Minister in May 1940. The period of near total inactivity in the declared war called the "Phony War" and "Sitzkrieg" ended at almost the same time, and, sure enough, Germany invaded France in May 1940. "During their campaign in Poland, the Germans kept only 23 divisions in the west to guard their frontier against the French, who had nearly five times as many divisions mobilized." So, where had the Germans massed their strength? "The 40-odd infantry divisions employed by the Germans in the invasion counted for much less than their 14 mechanized or partially mechanized divisions: these consisted of six armoured divisions; four light divisions, consisting of motorized infantry (infantry wholly transported by trucks and personnel carriers) with two armoured units; and four motorized divisions. The Germans attacked with about 1,500,000 troops in all."

It's futile, and, way off-topic. So, on-topic again, what chance does Nikki Haley have? She probably has a very good chance of becoming Trump's running mate. With the political realities that exist in 2024, it would help Trump to have a running mate that is a woman and, technically, a 'minority'. Such a display of 'inclusiveness' notwithstanding, the Republicans will lose in November! In 2024, all Democrats need to do is have a pair of welfare and subsidy-shoveling 'automatons' on their ticket and they will win, in-my-not-so-humble opinion. I've mused before that the Democrats could nominate "a two-headed dog", and as long as it promised more and more unearned 'free-stuff' to the growing mass of government-dependent voters, it'll win. "Game, set, match!"
Churchill became Prime Minister on May 10, 1940. The Germans had anticipated this after recent events in Britain, and on the same day, they invaded France. Prior to this, there had been a prolonged period derided as the "Phony War" and "Sitzkrieg" with little evidence that Germany was massing troops against France (they'd had twice as many divisions in Poland than they did facing the Maginot Line). If the Wehrmacht wasn't massed on the "Eastern Front" then where were they...? Now... I'm done with World War Two in this thread. As for NIKKI HALEY (the thread topic), she may very well become Trump's running mate, but, both of them will lose in November. Remember I predicted this in January! But, if by some miracle or mistake they manage to beat whatever kind of 'woke', America-hating trash the Democrats come up with, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong and join in the celebration. I'm no Trump 'fan-boy', but anything would be better than what's festering in the Democrat 'toilet' today....
Oh, brother! Now you want me to give you a German lesson? Unglaublich! All things considered, it might be better for you if you just stick to the English translation, which -- if you bother to read it -- is sufficiently "precise" by itself....
There's no question that the R Party is mostly still too timid and has too many McConnell-types in leadership roles. Changing that won't come soon because it requires replacements, especially in the Senate. They have a sense of entitlement and inevitability over there that tends to make them somewhat removed from their voting base.
I didn't give them to you. Joe Dementia's puppet masters dedication to DEI did. We just paid their salaries.
I assure you, I neither need nor am requesting a German lesson. I am simply asking you to substantiate your silly claims.
The point was that Trump already leads Haley in NH. She is likely to get most of Christie's voter support with him gone and Trump will get Vivek's with him gone. Given that, Trump's lead will likely shrink but be enough for him.
And vice versa. NH although, is not indicative of a typical MAGA voter. They are fairly evenly divided. Probably why she is doing well. It's MAGA hardcore voters that do not like to vote for non white and non male. They like their women barefoot and pregnant. As the old saying goes. ... For the record, I hope she win NH.
And you've been proven wrong about WW2. Good call to retreat. As for the upcoming election. We shall see.
You do muse that often. But have yet to offer any evidence that people are voting for free stuff. Or how many Americans are getting this so called free stuff. Give it a rest. You can't back that up.
Yeah, I agree. In fact, I have a theory in that regard. Russians boasted that just 1% of fake social profiles are caught, leak shows https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/04/16/russia-disinformation-discord-leaked-documents/
The GOP is sealing its doom with the Orange Dingleberry. As Napoleon stated "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
Denial of underlined & bolded text from prior responses. There's no need. They aren't the ones who are focusing on skin color. YOU are. I'm directing my advise appropriately.
MAGA don’t even believe they lost election in 2020. So they don’t even know that they are making mistake.
It always amaze me when conservative quote MLK. When MLK was giving speech about “ judge by character and not by skin color” , f$$$$ conservative in his time put him in jail and branded him as communist / Marxist like conservatives do to BLM today. Nothing changed among conservative back then and today. They are the same, just different version and different tactic.
Per usual. Yup, so why are you outraged over the Confederates choosing to form their own nation when that action of theirs was no different than what the colonists did in order to form the USA? There's that Marxist 'we' again... YOU wish to transform the USA into a communist hellhole. Again with the Marxist 'we'. TRUMP wants to make the USA great again. YOU want to fundamentally transform the USA into a communist hellhole. The Confederacy no longer exists. Duh. Revisionist history. It was the USA who started the war (via their invasion of the Confederacy), not the other way around. Continued usage of Marxist 'we' with some added war mongering as well as displaying a general seething hatred towards anyone who disagrees with you. I'm praying for you.
Great. Then start using your real name as your moniker, since Haley doesn't want you to be able to have online anonymity. Apparently you have no issue with that. You can also join the military and go to war to defend Ukraine and Israel, since Haley sure loves her war mongering. There's more, but that's enough to get my point across. She's campaigning as a globalist elitist who wishes to retain that corrupt Uniparty status quo. While that may be "traditional", there's nothing rational nor conservative about that. I doubt that she'd do it. Not that it matters since she won't be the nominee anyway. I can tell. Thankfully there aren't too many people within your ranks. She DEFINITELY wouldn't do that, and once again, it's irrelevant because she won't be the nominee.
Plus Haley has Democrats voting for her (Why the heck are Republicans okay with Democrats voting in primaries to choose Republican candidates?!). Nonetheless, Trump should still win in NH, and even if not, it's not a big deal. Trump will barn stomp Nikki in her own home state, in NV, and very quickly cruise his way to the nomination without issue.
