I don’t think so. I think they love him and some would literally die for him, the poor misplaced clucks, but they’re Republicans. They will vote for a half empty bottle of Diet Coke if it is (R). |

Ah yes, the whole Trump doesn't mean what he says/you can't take him seriously canard. I'm very interested to hear what the figurative meaning of "poisoning our blood" is. Up until 56 years ago it was a crime in some states to marry a person of another race so it's not like there's no history of bias against intermarriage of ethnic groups. |

That is a tiny segment of the population - and you underestimate them at your own peril. |

Yep. Trump would claim that the primaries were rigged by the RNC. He would focus all of his rage at the RNC—and none at Biden—and Haley would pull about 35% of the popular vote, losing all 50 states. |

| Hopefully she really does over-perform. Trump is already melting down since his veneer of "leading by 40 points" is gone. I think there is a big contingent of rational voter within the GOP that is looking for an alternative to the immoral criminal. |

| She is the only candidate I’d feel good voting for. I will not vote for Trump. I’d hold my nose and vote for Biden if the choice was Trump or DeSantis. None of the other elephants and neither RFK, Jr. or Manchin if he even runs have a chance. It is one of these three. Haley is my first choice, then Biden. |

A fair, measured post. At least you're concerned about maintaining some level of democracy in the U.S. Trump is awful. |

Her willingness to make abortion illegal is a non-starter for me. |

It's the majority of the GOP right now. |

[quote=Anonymous]I feel like she is our only chance. I don’t identify with any political party and tend to lean liberal. Like many, I know Trump is not mentally stable and a risk to democracy and I feel Biden is too fragile.
Nikki Haley seems like a good middle of the road choice and she has a background in government. Any thoughts? MAGA crazies need not reply. [/quote] At this point, she will not beat Trump and even if she won every primary, Trump would run as a write in candidate in the election and his base will come out in droves to vote for him |

DW and I typically vote blue, but we are pondering voting for Haley in the R primary as a vote against Trump. |

Haley hasn’t had the Presidential level of scrutiny yet.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/22/nikki-haley-wealth/ In an 11-month period ending January 2023, she earned about $2.5 million from paid speeches alone, delivered to banks, other businesses and advocacy groups, according to her disclosure. That’s more than she earned in combined salary during the eight years she spent as governor and then a presidential Cabinet member. The specific sources of Haley’s wealth highlight her ties to traditional Republican interests, namely big business and muscular foreign policy. A Haley spokesperson said the campaign does not have transcripts of Haley’s paid speeches because most took the form of question-and-answer sessions. Haley also has not released her recent tax returns. The spokesperson said she intends to but did not respond to questions about when. In 2016, Haley condemned Trump for withholding such documents. “Donald Trump, show us your tax returns!” she said at the time. And she took a swipe at Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president, who had come under criticism for refusing to reveal the contents of her paid speeches. |
