Donald Trump’s message is telling the world who’s running for office: a conversation with Luke Rose, a former casino dealer, and Phil Palker
The senior advisor on the campaign says that Trump has unified the base behind him, brought in new coalition of voters, and expanded the party.
The next two states on the primary calendar are in different parts of the country. Trump will get delegates through a caucus where he is well situated and Haley will get them on the state’s primary ballot. In South Carolina, where most of the political leaders have endorsed Trump, the voters are more inclined to support him than in New Hampshire.
The more establishment, anti-Trump, forces within the party have long been clamoring for this choice, said Alex Conant, who helped lead Senator Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign in 2016.
The debate between populism and small government has been overshadowed by the identity crisis within the Republican party.
On Tuesday, there will be a message that says that Trump has been chosen. Rose thinks that he’s the one. “And beyond that, we have to prepare ourselves, whether we like it or not, for a MAGA America or a Biden America.”
Luke Rose, a 26-year-old casino dealer, was bowling with co-workers at Yankee Lanes, a downtown Manchester bowling alley. He described the way in which he viewed the conflict as being between the ideals of Trump and traditional conservative values of Haley.
The choice between former President Donald Trump and his former U.N. envoy will be a sign of their feelings on the future of the party.
A man named Phil Palker claims to be one of those Americans. A 59-year-old transportation worker and former Coast Guard navigator says that he evolved with a former president, after Trump changed the party.
He said he was stagnant as a Republican. Donald Trump’s message is showing who the party is since he started running.
The Race Is Not Over: The Candidate for the Republican Presidential Nominee in MANCHESTER, South Carolina, Has Don’t Go Anywhere
A memo that Haley’s campaign sent out Tuesday said she could win if she competed in a variety of states, including the 16 states that vote on March 5.
There was a time, before the Iowa caucuses, when one could imagine Haley coming in a strong second in Iowa, then winning New Hampshire and taking that momentum into her home state of South Carolina.
“You’ve all heard the chatter among the political class,” Haley said. They are saying that the race is over. Well, I have news for all of them: … The race is not over. Dozens of states are left to go.
But Haley told her supporters Tuesday evening that she isn’t going anywhere, and looked forward to competing in her home state’s primary at the end of February.
He was joined by Tim Scott, a South Carolina senator who was appointed to the position by Haley. South Carolina’s Republican governor, Henry McMaster, who succeeded Haley in that role, is also backing Trump.
New Hampshire seemed to be uniquely favorable territory for her. She could get a boost if Independent voters participate in the Republican primary. Haley and her allied super groups spent more than $30 million on TV ads in the small state, doubling their pro-Trump spending. Chris Sununu, the popular Republican governor of the state, was very supportive of her.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Former President Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, according to The Associated Press, a victory that puts him on a clear path to securing the Republican nomination.
Up First: A Tale of Two Pseudoscendents: Robert Mueller’s Troubles with the House of Representatives
We told ourselves that Robert Mueller’s investigation or Trump’s first impeachment or his second impeachment would stop him. We told ourselves that the methodical work of the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol would seal his political doom. We told him that he wouldn’t be able to survive all of the indictments. We told ourselves that his temper was too volcanic, his lies were too outrageous to believe and he was growing too vicious.
I kept hearing that, kept reading that, as various political observers turned a myth into a mantra, persuading themselves of her potency and Donald Trump’s vulnerability not only in the Granite State but also beyond it. They wanted so much to believe that Trump’s grip on the Republican Party might be loosening. They were desperate for assurance that he wouldn’t return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The President Joe Biden was a write-in candidate in the Democratic primary. His name wasn’t on the printed ballot because of a dispute between the state and national party over the primary calendar.

The Playboy Mansion: A Celebrity Hotspot in the ’60s and 70s? Revisiting Hefner’s Faade
This essay was written by Michel Martin. She hosts Morning Edition and Up First. She previously hosted Weekend All Things Considered. Tell Me More is on this Saturday.
A big deal back in the day is correct. The glossy nude centerfolds of Hugh Hefner’s men’s mag was a huge deal in the ’60s and ’70s, as was the long-form reporting, top-notch fiction and vocal support for liberal causes. Hefner’s LA home, the Playboy Mansion, was a celebrity hotspot. Many people felt that the entire scene was sexist and degrading. Because, duh.
On one of my first trips as a reporter, I happened to be staying near the flagship Playboy in Chicago, and even now, I remember the sleek façade. I could understand why it was something that some people did.
Crystal Hefner is Hefner’s third wife and now widow, and I was interested in reading her memoir. What was behind that faade?
Maybe it won’t shock you to know that there really was ugliness behind that glossy image, but what fascinated me was why, as late as 2008—a year when women were running for President, running corporations, had gone to the moon, had set Olympic records—was a young, college-educated woman like Crystal willing to dress up as a sexy maid to party at the mansion, get picked out of the crowd by Hef’s security guards, starve herself, surgically alter herself, all that… just to be part of that crowd?
