Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

Nikki Haley finally got Trump one-on-one. There’s a reason she’s still losing.


Donald Trump’s Republican rivals have been saying since 2016 that if they could only get him one on one, they’d have a chance.

But that’s not working out for Nikki Haley. And if the former U.N. ambassador’s campaign is proving anything, it’s that the real problem for Trump’s opponents isn’t really about candidate math at all  

It’s a bear market for fiscal conservative, neoconservative ideology in a MAGA-centric GOP.

“She’s running as a conservative. Trump’s running as a populist,” said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist and former adviser to Marco Rubio’s 2016 and Tim Pawlenty’s 2012 presidential campaigns. “Haley’s challenge is that the party is increasingly a populist party.”
