This time it&#8217;s about the cognitive issues of her uncle. She starts by quoting one of his former White House advisers on what she (the adviser) has seen since 2016. But then, Mary also goes back many years ago &#8211; as far back as when Donald got chosen and Fred disinherited. This makes his current state appear even more disastrous.<\/p>\n<p>Axios sent out a news flash that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/03\/06\/nikki-haley-vermont-republican-primary-super-tuesday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Vermont.<\/a> Only that one, but it means Trump** cannot clain a sweep. Betcha Biden can. (And I find it hard to believe Bernie&#8217;s Vermont preferring Trump** over just about anyone, so it makes sense.)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uEK8li63I1A?si=GMJMFd_fCn6Zg9yt\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ax_riJ1RHGk?si=aqph6uUXjlrE_Elz\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot-150x145.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ballot-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I got another grocery order.
