How about speculating that Michelle Obama might really be running the country??

I wouldn't mind if Michelle was running the country. She would do a great job.

She and maybe Christie at times are clearly the only people on that stage that can articulate a case for being considered for POTUS.

Out of that lot I like those two the best. I’ve always liked Chris Christie. I think it’s a shame that he had such a sharp decline after the bridge fiasco. Somebody up thread wondered if it was weight discrimination. Maybe but that’s a shame because he is on the moderate side.

The "bridge fiasco" should have ended his political career.

Still, he is the best GOP on that stage, which is why he doesn't stand a chance, because he is too sane.

I'm not going to vote for a Republican at this point, but if Haley or Christie became president I wouldn't feel the sick dread that I will feel if Trump became president again.

You know you can ban it in your house, right? Or put controls in their phones.

Haley doesn’t. So how bad can it really be?

Any Republican is dangerous because the Supreme Court is now an arm of the Republican party.

So she has been unable to even influence her own daughter about the huge risk? Ha ha. Why is she so incompetent?

She is either a liar and doesn’t really think it is a risk or she is a terrible negotiator and not up to the task of representing the US against anyone, not even her daughter.

Which is it?

My take-away from this debate is that the Republican Party is in deep deep trouble when Trump finally exits the stage. These people are uncharismatic morons that no one likes.

Does any of this matter considering that Trump will be the candidate? They all are terrible

Same. Haley and Christie are categorically different from a Trump or a DeSantis.

I guess Youngkin's gambit was going to be that he met them in the middle - gave the MAGAs what they wanted while also not scaring the people who find Haley and Christie pretty normal. He blew it, though.

At least her kids aren’t being dragged into court for having followed in her footsteps!

Vivek is definitely a moron. You may not agree with Nikki Haley and Chris Christie, but I definitely wouldn’t characterize them as morons. Joe Biden would look terrible on a debate stage with either of them.

Agree. I would feel comfortable with either of them as POTUS and I generally vote for democrats. Depressing that Trump is so far ahead.

+1, I think they are doing a great job staying the course for when Trump inevitably is convicted of something in one of the criminal matters. The Dems should be worried if Haley somehow emerges with the nomination. I’ve never voted for a R for president before but I would vote for Haley over Biden.

I really don't see republican voters lining up behind Nimarata against Trump.

Haley won two terms as governor of in the conservatively red state of South Carolina. Republicans didn't hesitate to line up for her then and they wouldn't in a general presidential election either. Overtaking Trump for the nomination may not be possible but as the PP noted, if/when Trump was forced out with legal troubles, Republicans would have a replacement they could actually be proud of.

A much better case scenario for the country would be both Trump and Biden dropping out with the parties instead nominating people like Haley and Whitmer. What a breath of fresh air it would be for the country to have a choice between two experienced executives that are in the prime of their careers and moderate enough to lead all the people in fair manner. Both Whitmer and Haley are obviously more fit than Trump and Biden to serve the country well as POTUS and it would be entertaining for all the right reasons to see them together on a debate stage as opposed to the Trump/Biden debates of 2020 that were frankly an embarrassment for the country. The political policy differences between the parties aren't the cause of our dysfunction in government; it's the people in leadership positions in government that are causing the dysfunction. I certainly wouldn't agree with many of the political viewpoints of both Haley and Whitmer but I would be content with either of them in office knowing we have a very decent and highly competent person serving in the most important and powerful position in the world.

Based on what job experience?
