Nikki Haley - What are the chances

[Anonymous]

Honest question: Why are people spending even one second thinking about Nikki Haley? She is as likely to win the Republican nomination as the Easter Bunny.

I'm a D all the way - and I think Haley could very well win if she's the GOP nominee. And I'd hate a lot of what she does as president, and I think we'd survive it as a country. I am not TERRIFIED over the prospect of her being president. I just wouldn't like it.

I think Trump's chances are worse, but he's a much bigger risk to our existence if he wins. Plus he's just so exhausting. Every second of him is exhausting and terrifying in equal measure. I cannot bear the thought of another Trump presidency.

I'd rather Haley be the nominee and risk the chance of her winning than Trump, even if his chances of winning are worse.

No Trump loyalist is voting for Haley, they’ll stay home.

I swear, the level of denial of Trumps hold is incredible. He’ll be the nominee even if in jail.

Liberal leaning suburban women aren’t idiots. We’ve read the Handmaids Tale. We saw what happened when the GOP stuck the real Handmaiden ACB on the court. We recognize that plenty of our own are nothing more than self-hating Pickmeshas.

Give us a fiscal conservative with an emphasis on families and education and minding your own business, and the GOP might get somewhere. Sadly, they don’t have much of those left. They’ve been run out by the fascists and the cult freaks.

+1. How many referendums in red states is it going to take until the GOP can get it through their thick skull that the people insist on a pro choice candidate?

Because the both sides people are tribal Republicans and they like to think of themselves as good people. Supporting Donald Trump rips away that veneer and they are hoping against hope that they don’t have to vote for Trump again.

He'd probably even write a bestseller about "his struggle" before his return to power.

That is his favorite book.

They will rationalize their eventual vote for Trump by saying that they had no choice because Biden once forgot to say “God bless you” when someone sneezed.

Don't underestimate the appeal of mentally stable.

We have very mentally unstable on one side. And a physically unstable geriatric on the other.

A sane 51 year old would win a lot of votes just for being a sane 51 year old. And if she does somehow win the nomination, she would run the table on Biden. She'd win in a landslide.

I disagree with Haley on a lot of things, but I like her temperament. The bar is so low that being reasonably healthy and rational is enough to win the presidency.

I agree with all the above but I don't think she'll win. I think change is a very very hard concept for human beings. She is a 51 woman running on the GOP ticket. That right there is change. If she does win the GOP nomination, I just don't know that she'll be able to win the whole country. As much as I would like to believe she holds the advantage over old man Biden, Biden is tried and true, an old white man incumbent and the fact is, as much as I'm not happy to vote for him, I can't abide by GOP policies on abortion/guns/etc. I don't know what I would do. I think in this country there are certain powerful people who end up truly electing POTUS. I'm not sure she can sway them.

Put Trump and Biden on a debate stage with Haley and Whitmer just so all of America can see the contrast between people who are fit for a position as powerful and demanding as POTUS and people who aren't fit for the position. I can't think of a more effective way for Americans to receive that wake up call but I do realize Trump and Biden have no reason or desire to put themselves in such a position in front of the American people.

+1 as a pretty moderate D who once registered R I checked out her history simply to avoid Trump.

Zero chance I’m voting for her based on right to choose alone.

She’s evidently got some segment of the population snowed. Unfortunately for her, it’s like twelve people. I don’t know why she thinks that the party that bragged on being “deplorable” is going to elect a woman of Indian ancestry whose parents only got here in the sixties.
