HALEY HEADS FOR ANOTHER LOSS. The Michigan Democratic and Republican primaries are today. The Democratic contest is interesting not because any candidate has a chance of touching President Joe Biden but for what it might say about the reach of the Israel-Hamas war into Democratic Party politics.

The Republican primary will be interesting because it will shed more light on the lopsided race between former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Well, at this point it’s not really a race, but Michigan will show how long the cycle of Trump-trounces-Haley and Haley-vows-to-continue will go on. It will also shed more light, after elections in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, on the number of voters, Republican and Democrat, who will vote against Trump in a GOP primary.
