DW and I almost always vote Dem. Looking at the VA primary we are considering voting for Haley as a vote against Trump.
In a Presidential contest of Biden v Trump, our votes go to Biden without question. If it’s Biden v Haley I think DW’s vote might go to Haley.
I'm very liberal- but as a woman in my mid forties? Haley has my vote. im in Wisconsin and I'v already started persuading every woman I know to vote for haley as well. I disagree with haley but I will vote for her b/c I think this is how we do it- the only way to get s female president is a republican and if that breaks the trump fever dream and the gop goes back to having rand Paul as resident nut job and mtg as a strom Thurmond stand in, im ok with that.
I can't stand the gas lighting im getting from the dems re:gaza, id rather be told the truth, ugly as it is, and I really think people in their dotage shouldn't make up the majority. if you are eligible for SS-go home and write your memoirs!
Please consider her stance on abortion and think of women younger than you. What good is having a woman President if all US women don’t have full rights.

The general election will probably come down to how the Republicans and independents who didn’t want Trump end up voting.

That's another month of attacks he's going to be forced to endure (and obviously make), which is going to require increasing amounts of energy. That's a big time gap so there will be increasing conversation to fill the space discussing his electability. We've already seen him truly melting down over the past week given his age, likely dementia, and stress of balancing a presidential election with all the criminal trials.
"Donald Trump may have won decisively in New Hampshire Tuesday night, but instead of spending his evening celebrating like he did after the Iowa caucuses, the former president spent his night seething, sources said.
Hours after the polls closed, Trump continued to rail against Nikki Haley privately and publicly after she declined to drop out of the race.
Publicly, he criticized her speech and her outfit in a post online. Privately, Trump told his aides he was baffled that she was refusing to drop out and grant him the GOP nomination, urging his political aides to up their attacks on her."

Haley should stop trying to thread the needle and just go after Trump directly. There is clearly a significant portion of the Republican Party that, for whatever reason, is tired of Trump and wants to move on. They are probably desperate for a real choice.

Whether she loses SC and support, the longer she's in it as the only other GOP candidate, the more she has a shot. You just never know if and when Trump may see a surprise disaster. I don't get the feeling he's in that stable a condition emotionally, physically, legally. As the front runner if course he has momentum but staying in the game means anything could happen for Haley.
That being said I wonder if Biden can pull this re-election off. It's one thing to vote for someone who is the better if 2 evils but there's no strength in that. You're at the mercy of how much the other guy is disliked not how much you're liked. ESP if Haley becomes the challenger running v Biden, yikes. I'd have to even rethink my vote even though I'm not on board with her or GOP platform. Will be interesting to see who their running mates are - Trump and Haley. I think Trump DeSantis would be strong. Even Trump Haley. I am not GOP but the Biden Kamala ticket does not make me happy at all.
