In Roman mythology,

Janus is depicted as having two heads, allowing him to look forward and backward. In Donald mythology, there are three heads, two gazing back in time to his feud with Jan. 6 reality, and one looking sideways at Nikki Haley, a still viable opponent should he stumble on courthouse steps or elsewhere before Nov. 5.

Polls this early in the contest are unreliable, but they show that a match-up between Trump and President Biden is too close to call, but Haley defeats Biden fairly handily.

She is a formidable candidate, having knowledge of issues, stage presence, debate skills and persistence. I will not vote for either of the fellas but would gladly cast a ballot for Haley.

Jonah Goldberg pines for a traditional conservative GOP, but that ship has sailed.

The “Make America Great Again” movement represents sedition and autocracy, and that tells us everything we need to know about conservatism in America.

Some Trump supporters openly say they expect and desire a civil war. Our fellow countrymen know not what they are asking for and what that would actually look like. They are playing with fire.

Haley is being pressured to suspend her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. She should ignore the calls to withdraw for several reasons.

With all the legal charges against the former president, he could be in prison before the election (unless his delaying tactics are successful).

Furthermore, Trump turns 78 in June, and he is susceptible to the catastrophes that can befall people of old age, including stroke, heart attack, debilitating injury or even death. If any of these occurs, we will need a new Republican candidate, and who better than one who can beat Biden?

Besides, many Republicans don’t want to vote for Trump, myself included.
