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.

    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.

      Part of me hopes it’s real.
