She is in the race so when Trump is taken out with a drone, bullet, bomb or even a shive she can step in and take his mantel, destroy MAGA and rule the roost of the Vichy GOP Loser Party (the George Bush wing). Don’t you know she is a woman of color?

She’s delusional. Even if “Trump is taken out with a drone, bullet, bomb or even a shive (sic)”, she doesn’t get the nomination by default. Yes; she is THAT stupid.

I’m for Haley. The fact that Dementia Joe is POTUS is Exhibit A that Trump won’t win next time imo. Since DT’s loss he’s gone full-bonkers with name-calling - “Desanctimonious” Desantes and “Birdbrain” Haley. I’ve no doubt savvy Dems will help make Trump the nominee but imo he’ll lose by an even larger margin than last time.

No just that the average American probably doesn’t realize that she is an anchor baby - that was not born of 2 citizen parents

Which explains why she doesn’t hold certain allegiance to some things

I had no idea until people told me her birth name

125,000 Democrats voted for Nikki yesterday.

They were afraid of Donald Trump.

If they thought he would lose they would not be afraid of him.

Why would Dems be afraid of Trump after Dementia Joe beat him? Has Trump’s current penchant for name-calling his R rivals won him more fans, other than Dems knowing he’ll lose again if he’s the nominee? Do FL R voters like his “Desanctimonious” schtick? Do SC R voters think calling their former Gov “Birdbrain” was smart? Trump’s a narcissist idiot who I voted for twice but won’t again

“Why” is the wrong question.

The Democrats are terrified that President Trump will win.

Here are some links that prove it:

It is what it is.

“Why” is irrelevant.

Nikki Haley is definitely a Uniparty stalking horse

Just like Jeb! was

Agreed, except I think she’s actually applying for the top spot on a National Unity ticket. The clue is that she keeps saying the American people don’t want either Trump or Biden, and she purposefully panders for Dem crossover votes. The money she’s getting isn’t coming from donors who want her as #2 on a Newsom ticket; they want her as #1 because they know she’ll do what she’s told, and she doesn’t sound as stupid as Harris or as nasty as Michelle.

You may have a point. The Democrats have a weak bench, and this may be their only shot at winning.

FYI...Vermont LT = Worthless Troll with a Superiority complex.

And his tagline sounds just like Nimrata’s ageist rants.

I don't see how Nikki could be the nominee when 90% of Republicans can't stand her. DeSantis also has a few delegates so she isn't the only one other than Trump with some.

Trump should leave instructions with some trusted person (or a sealed letter) saying who he would favor if he were to be assassinated. That person would have a big advantage in getting the nomination. It would not be Nikki.

Gavin Newsom has praised Nikki as his best surrogate.

I think Nikki is planning on a Third-Party campaign.

Planning a third party campaign is one thing.

Executing it is a whole different ball game.

This has been discussed ad nauseum.

Sore loser laws in many states do not allow losers of primaries to “try again” in another primary. It is a hotly debated legal issue—which would have to be fought in the courts one state at a time. Many legal experts believe that the candidates will prevail in most states in a presidential election but it will be a time consuming and difficult process at best.

Petition signatures vary by state both in quantity and timing. In big states these are often very difficult to obtain in time to get on the ballot.

In addition the Democrat Party has gotten very litigious with the RFK Jr. attempts to get on state ballots as a third party. They have raised a variety of legal issues and turned the entire field into a litigation land mine.

"You didnt ask a question. You ranted about stuff. You are a stalker of the worst kind. Go away."

Gaslight much? I've never "stalked" anyone on FR but boy oh boy, stalking sure is a Zeeper trait - unsolicited pings, unprovoked personal insults, creepy, unsolicited Freepmails and a refusal to cease and desist sending Zeeper crap when asked to do so. That's the Zeeper way and there are plenty of non-Zeepers on these threads who can attest to that behavior.

I most certainly did ask you a question. Here it is again: "Would you vote for the little Dancing Queen™ if he was running against Trump?"

Would you?

Keep in mind that you initiated this exchange by calling me "a cancer."

The unprovoked, vile personal insult - a staple move of Zeepers everywhere!

Slavo U Crayknee!

Show me where i ever said i even liked Zelensky.

All I’ve ever said is that I think Russians in Ukraine should leave. Or be killed. Dont care which.

But you seemed obsessed with gay culture. Show me where the Russian touched you. Was it a priest?

Again, you throw out a sick, unprovoked, slanderous accusation, in the spirit and style of your Queen Bee Of Propaganda™, one completely fabricated and showing an intense, mindless hatred of Russia and Russians.

There is something fundamentally twisted inside the minds of you Zeepers. I would not trust any of you to be alone with children or pets.

You have expressed your admiration for your gay dancing, degenerate "hero," Voldormorskinfluteski Lincolnsky Washingtonya Churchillskitsy Zelensklyyyyy™ many times. Just as you've expressed your dislike of Trump many times.

Would you like me to send you a life-sized Zelensky action figure to comfort you in your times of depression and anxiety now that it appears that this war will end badly for him? Or, on second thought, I can help you get to the front lines so you can put your slobbering Youke-love into action.

She stays in because her donors are paying her to stay in.

But it looks like Trump may have a majority of delegates shortly after Super Tuesday.

Forget about “Trump Alternative”: in the weird transmutations of American Politics, and the still dominant monolith of the Uniparty, she might still fulfill the function of being a RINO pawn, but for me she stands as more of an alternative to ANYONE the Dems could put up to replace Biden, supposedly on the “Democratic” side. In other words, being a UNIPARTY contender for the throne of the Presidency, she might get more votes than any of the prospective Biden replacements, and there could be a mass (legal) migration “across party lines” to vote for her, as maybe an “Independent”(read: Uniparty) Consider that she’s been the only one to face Trump and try to get votes away from him in all the primaries thus far, she’s already done more direct “person-to-person” anti-Trump “work” than any of them, Newsom included.And she WON’T win if she becomes their candidate, but they don’t know that yet.
