Republican Primary Update

So far, there have been primary election in 3 States. Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Donald Trump trounced his opponents in all 3 states. There were only 3 people contesting against Trump. 

Vivek Ramaswamy – withdrew from the contest after the Iowa primary and gave full support to Trump. 

Ron DeSantis – withdrew from the contest after the New Hampshire primary. 

Nikki Haley – South Carolina is her home state. She was a popular Governor of that state. But Donald Trump trounced her today by a margin of 60% to 40%. Nikki does not want to quit. She wants to fight Trump in the coming primaries. Next primary is on March 5. It is called Super Tuesday. 15 States and one union territory will be voting. It looks like Trump will be the victor on Super Tuesday also. 

Mr. Trump says he is considering 6 people for the Vice President slot. Two of them are Vivek Ramaswamy and Tulsi Gabbard. 

Tulsi was a Democrat and resigned from that party in 2022. With the name “Tulsi”, lot of people think she is of Indian origin. She is not. She is an American Samoan born and brought up in Hawaii. Tulsi is a vegetarian and a practicing Hindu. She is a combat veteran holding the rank of Lt.Col. Well liked by people in both parties. 

Stay tuned for Super Tuesday.

Yogi's Quotes

I was reading a news item that said: 

“This application is déjà vu all over again”. 

This is one of the famous quotes by Yogi Berra. He was the Manager for the New York Yankees, a professional baseball team. But Yogi Berra was more famous for his quotes, ala, Rajni Kanth quotes. I don’t know if I wrote a blog post about Yogi’s quotes or not. Anyhow, here are some of his famous quotes. 

It ain’t over till it’s over. 

You can observe a lot just by watching. 

He must have made that movie before he died (referring to an actor). 

I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early. 

If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him. 

Baseball is 90% mental – other half is physical. 

Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded. 

I take a 2-hour nap – from 1 o’clock to 4 o’clock. 

Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel. 

It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility. 

You should always go to the other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours. 

If the fans don’t come out to the ball park, you can’t stop them. 

And finally, my favorite: 

Yogi goes to a pizza corner and ordered a pizza. The waiter asked if Yogi wants him to make 6 slices or 8 slices of the pizza. Yogi said: I am very hungry and so make it 8 slices.
