The Iowa caucuses are seven weeks from today. While AFP Action says it will deploy “the largest grassroots operation in the country and a presence in all fifty states” behind Haley, it’s hard to imagine her beating Trump. It feels like another exercise in political delusion: a powerful mainstream Republican force pretending Trump doesn’t control the party.

There’s also deep irony here. As the major financial and political force behind the reactionary, anti-Obama Tea Party movement, AFP helped create Trump, the man it is now trying to defeat.

    Just received this. My name isn’t Daniel and this is the worst scam attempt I’ve received yet.

      I got one recently, classified as spam by Android, asking to participate in a presidential poll and with links to click. Of course I didn’t, but I do wonder if it was real… If so, they’re doing an awful job getting people who aren’t complete morons to respond

        I admit I assume it’s a scam attempt. No way in hell I’m clicking that link or going to that website. Report spam and delete.

        If it is real, they need to do much better, not that it will matter to me.
