Welp I just lost what remaining respect I had left for Nikki Haley. Party and Personal Ambition over Country I guess is how she sees it.

What are we to believe? The version of Nikki Haley a few months ago earlier this year who campaigned passionately that Trump was a disaster for our country or the Nikki Haley from this morning who just endorsed trump in an op-ed in the WSJ. She wants a job with him again and she has no integrity.


If Trump loses, she has no place building up the normal faction of the Republican party now, she deserves to be exiled in the fringes forever with Vance et al.



she is now irrelevant.


No. She’s now a target to be purged and publicly humiliated. If Trump wins, Haley will be court martialed alongside Liz Cheney.

Haley is gonna through a public MAGA struggle session. If she’s lucky, she only ends up in prison. But Trump has to go after “disloyal” Republicans first in order to keep the party members in line.

She's by her own admission hasn't spoken to Trump since June, just wating on stand by. There's no way her voting block is going to Trump. If they voted for a woman R candidate, theyre voting for Harris secretly. This will be the 2016 Bernie-to-Trump defection all over again.


I wouldn't be so sure you know who her voters are voting for. Why do some of you think the candidate's gender is the most important factor?

She isn’t taking a stand. She’s saying nothing of importance

Are you able to read?

A Trump administration would be different. It wouldn’t be perfect. But I agree with Mr. Trump that we need to keep taxes low and cut them more. I agree that we need to roll back trillions of dollars in special-interest handouts. I agree that we need to expand American energy to empower our families and job creators while making us less dependent on foreign energy.

I agree with Mr. Trump that America should be strong—far stronger than we are today. When he was president, Russia didn’t invade another country, Iran was on its heels, China received serious pushback for the first time in decades, and our southern border was more secure. The world is unsafe under Biden-Harris, and we shouldn’t expect that to change under a Harris administration.

These are enormous policy differences that will affect the lives of every American and much of the world.

"For those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to acknowledge them, the question is whether we’re better off with his policies or his opponent’s. On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy and national security, the candidates are miles apart. And Mr. Trump is clearly the better choice."

Yeah, she’s one of the biggest power-hungry, nakedly ambitious political opportunists this country has ever produced. And that’s really saying something. She’s impressively aggressive.

Haley was always navigating a high wire. And eventually the wire became too small. You can't navigate that space in the era of Trump. You have to choose. And she didn't and she seems very lame as a result.

What do you mean, "she didn't" choose? She's saying very clearly that while Trump the person is unpalatable for many of us, his policies were far better for the country. She just didn't choose the candidate YOU wanted.

GOP chances would have been better if she had been the final candidate.
