Woops, Wrong Caucus Location!
I assume it is just a database error in their mailing, but the latest Trump campaign postcard told us to go to the WRONG caucus location. This is the type of thing that starts conspiracy theories.
I've blocked out the actual locations for privacy reasons, but here is the mailing that had the wrong information.
A couple days ago, we also received a mailing from Trump's Super PAC.
Today we also received another mailing from the AFP Action super PAC now supporting Haley.
The AFP super PAC's postcards are much more pleasing on the eyes in their design than the SFA Fund postcards have been. But at this point, I don't think it matters. I still associate Haley's campaign with only talkin about China and, more recently, attacking DeSantis.
And then we got our third mailing from the Ryan Binkley campaign.
At this point, I just don't see any purpose other than to take votes away from another candidate. The money spent on these mailings should have been spent three months ago or more.

Meanwhile, the telephone polls are really starting to give my phone a workout. We have a landline and that is where all the phone polls go. We use it like we would use a throw-away spam email address. The landline phone number is what we give to all businesses and any entity other than family and friends. But we seldom get phone calls to it and when we do (no matter what year or season) it is about a 75% chance to be a political or poll phone call. Of course, those might be the only types of calls that can legally call us if we are on the no call list.
I wish I could say the same thing for text messages on my cell phone. Although my cell phone seldom gets spam calls, it seems to get a handful of text messages. At this point they almost all go straight to the spam/blocked area so I don't know that I even get them. But I went into that area today and counted them up.
Text Messages So Far in 2024
8 - Nikki Haley
7 - Ryan Binkley
5 - Perry Johnson
3 - Vivek Ramaswamy
2 - Donald Trump
1 - Tim Scott
1 - Mike Pence
Honestly, I think that is a very low number compared to a lot of other people. Hopefully I have managed to keep my cell phone hidden from most telemarketers.
