An improbable white knight for the GOP
American Thinker ^ | April 9, 2016 | Layne D. Hansen

Nikki Haley is the best (and perhaps only) choice in this scenario for many reasons. First, unlike with Trump, there is no doubt that Haley is an ardent conservative. She has fought Democrats, both in her state and nationally. Second, she is a governor of an important red state. Third, and perhaps most importantly, she's energetic, passionate, and unafraid to pick a fight, which is something Republicans have lacked since Ronald Reagan left office. The added bonus, of course, is that Haley is a woman and an ethnic minority, being of Indian descent.

The Republican National Convention is being held in Cleveland, Ohio, a city also known as the "Mistake by the Lake." The biggest mistake the GOP could make in Cleveland would be to nominate Donald Trump. Bypassing him for Paul Ryan would almost be equally unwise. Convincing Nikki Haley to become the nominee is the party’s best hope.

Ah...no thanks. Float another trial balloon GOPe. That one pops rather quickly. I’ll float my own balloons. How about Mitch Daniels? How about Newt Gingrich?

Brokered convention!!! OK, each and every pundit who has been (properly) ignored in their derision of Trump and Cruz, trot out YOUR favorite milquetoast GOP candidate!!

No candidate too moderate! Go with a democrat if that is what you REALLY believe! Come one, come all!

The GOPe throws out a new name every day to see if one sticks. Yet the Cruz supporters still think they’re going to give it to him on a 2nd ballot.

Hint: They’re just not that into him.

Has the writer of this adoring article even spoken with anyone from South Carolina, I wonder.

If that isn’t looking at things through Rove-colored glasses, I don’t know what is.

Seriously?

I have a suggestion. How about the GOP promoting the candidate who has the most votes and public support? Someone like, oh, I dunno, Donald Trump, maybe?

Yeah, I know, the idea of the GOP going along with the people’s choice is pretty radical.

Why change a winning formula when the fat cats are happy with the way things have been.

We don’t need a “white knight” the GOP does. But the people can’t be ignored, it won’t work.

Elected because she ran as a conservative TEA Party candidate, then governs and acts as beholding to the GOPE/RINO leadership.

No thank you!

Isn’t this the same chick who signed into law the banning of the Confederate flag? Yeah. What a fighter.
