Today is one of those days when political junkies realize why CTH is such a desperate threat to the professional political class because tripwires are being triggered in all directions exactly as predicted. HERE – HERE – HERE
Today, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is endorsing GOPe Marco Rubio, oh, now there’s a shock fail… and the narratives the apoplectic political class are using to accompany the endorsement are so transparent all we can do is laugh at their effort.
Earlier […] ♦ Now to the endorsements. Again, go back to the original road-map and cut through the media fog surrounding South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Haley has done the bidding of the GOPe DC Machine (Ryan, McConnell, etc.) with the SOU response to knock down Donald Trump. Republican party leadership approved the script. Governor Haley also spoke highly of Marco Rubio in the 36 hours that followed the controversy.
Absent of GOPe intervention, a Rubio endorsement from her was/is all but certain. (link)
Referencing the substance of the promoted media narrative – First, the claim that Nikki Haley is holding 80% approval is based on a ridiculous, and obscure, poll taken last year which was so fundamentally disconnected from reality – no-one even reported on the attached SC polling results of the presidential candidates contained within it.
No, Nikki Haley does not have 84% support from “Tea Party” members within South Carolina. That narrative is absurd in the extreme. Haley has been corrupted as part of the GOPe professional political class for more than a few years….. because, well, everyone knows the DC elite would want a Tea Party voice delivering their SOU rebuttal right? (insert severe sarcasm alert here).
Haley was part of the GOPe road-map as constructed in 2014. That role doesn’t change, it only evolves and modifies to reflect the next best need.
In the 36 hours which followed the January Haley delivery of the State of The Union rebuttal it became painfully obvious what the GOPe’s intents were for her continued forward use. [HERE and HERE.] Don’t forget the Spanish Version of the same rebuttal promised Latino viewers legislative amnesty was coming soon from the DC beltway.
Of course Haley was going to endorse Marco Rubio, a considerable amount of the political ire upon this very website stems from our presentation(s) which have evidenced this reality since the Spring of 2014. Nikki Haley’s endorsement structure has been part of the design for a long time – the only question was the actual date of the trigger.
So too, will soon follow the endorsement of another original GOPe road-map member, Carly Fiorina, either late this week, or, depending on polling results, saved as a momentum tool as the GOP heads to Nevada.
Big disappointment.
After her SOU rebuttal I kind of expected it.
She probably wanted to endorse Jeb, but that was a bridge too far.
Marco was the only viable GOPe candidate left.
Like I said in the beginning, even in this outlier of a scenario, the real tragedy in the Republican Party is that so many are throwing the baby out with the bathwater in attacking Donald Trump so viciously. But, to question such actions, would be to falsely assume they care about the party or its cause. They don't. They care about maintaining the comfortable position of power they have attained, and they expect you to comply or they'll "burn down the house." "The house" is both the party and the cause, in favor of their power. If you corner and threaten a vicious dog, he is likely to bite.
“Another great endorsement Sarah made.”
Need I remind you that Sarah also endorsed Ted Cruz for the Senate? That didn’t turn out too bad, did it?
People sometimes stab you in the back after you’ve put your name on the line to support them.
He’s been calling it a lot better than the national “conservative” hacks.
I think you nailed it, Brother.
we are so thankful that Trump was a ‘brave soldier’ and slept with all those lonely women while their boyfriends were overseas... Risking catching all of those dangerous stds.
Dang noble of him. /sarc
Romney to Rubio to Haley. Simple really, when you add in Zuckerberg and fwd.org Amnesty Rubio.... and Amnesty Haley cause somebody’s got to cut the sugar cane, and both Haley and Rubio faked out the Tea Party and pissed off the Southern Democrat machine.
So, how is Donald going to fight this. Cause even Trey Gowdy is for Rubio— seriously. this is some weird politics. Where are the Statesmen?
