If Nikki Haley Stays in After Losing South Carolina, We Should Be Concerned About Why
Liberty Daily ^ | J.D. Rucker

Posted on 02/23/2024 9:51:29 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

On Saturday, Nikki Haley will suffer a humiliating defeat in her own home state. She was once popular enough in South Carolina to draw a prominent Ambassadorship to the United Nations in the beginning of the first Trump administration despite endorsing Ted Cruz in the GOP primary.

She’s just not as popular anymore. In fact, analysts and commentators aren’t even debating whether she can win but rather how badly she’ll lose. The GOP primary is over. It was over before the Iowa caucus.

But she has vowed to stay in. Granted, everyone vows to stay in presidential primaries longer than they actually intend to because declaring that they’ll consider dropping out means they’re definitely dropping out. But with no illusions that she can actually defeat Donald Trump in any state, the money keeps coming in. Why is that? What do “they” know that we apparently don’t?

She’s there to give Demoncrat voters a choice other than Bidet. This way no matter which one wins - Bird Brain or No Brain - Obama’s great reset continues.

IF he is, especially if the RNC simply refuses to accept him as their nominee, the GOP will lose, 30% of their base OVERNIGHT, and they will NEVER COME BACK.

_______________________________________________________

Not only would they not come back, but the incentive to leave the country, engage in harsher civil disobedience, and just flat out work against its foreign influence (and domestic stability) would drastically increase.

In the short-run working-class conservatives would remain what they are now, a sizable minority of pissed-off people that cosmopolitan Leftists just ignore (and demonize).

In the long-run the country would continue to get fewer, less-professional, and poorer qualified military recruits. A balkanized, multi-cultural electorate with little in common except a desire to be pandered to more. And finally, no effective resistance to Woke cultural influence which would accelerate all the destructive social values of the Left. We’re already seeing the initial effects of decadence; history shows that there is a point-of-no-return for all nations.

What Reagan didn’t understand is that during the time, the Cultural Left started to infiltrate the GOP.

She’s a kind of American Alexey Navalny.

She's no where close to being a Navalny. Navalny was a pro democratic Russia, anti Putin and gave his life for his beliefs.

Haley is nothing more than the high school prom queen candidate, running for the president of the student council.

Yes, we should, but Liberty Daily also has a lot of clickbait on their website. Be careful what you read or view there.

And if anyone can suggest a better news site I'm all ears.

My only question is Haley owned by China or Iran?

Actually, I’m not sure why she is staying in. At first I thought it was just to rake in money, dark and otherwise, from donors. But now I think she could be doing it to cause Trump and his donors to spend more money than necessary to contest primaries against her, to sabotage conservative chances to save the country by winning the general election.

She also may have a promise from the deep state to install her as the nominee when they “remove” Trump by whatever means. She may be dumb enough to believe that.

I believe it is even money an assassination attempt will be made and will probably succeed. The CIA has access to the very best most accomplished assassins.

[The 1960 Democratic National Convention was held in Los Angeles, California. In the week before the convention opened, Kennedy received two new challengers, when Lyndon B. Johnson, the powerful Senate Majority Leader, and Adlai Stevenson, the party’s nominee in 1952 and 1956, officially announced their candidacies. However, neither Johnson nor Stevenson was a match for the talented and highly efficient Kennedy campaign team led by Robert Kennedy. Johnson challenged Kennedy to a televised debate before a joint meeting of the Texas and Massachusetts delegations, which Kennedy accepted. Most observers believed that Kennedy won the debate, and Johnson was unable to expand his delegate support beyond the South. Stevenson’s failure to launch his candidacy publicly until the week of the convention meant that many liberal delegates who might have supported him were already pledged to Kennedy, and Stevenson – despite the energetic support of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt – could not break their allegiance. Kennedy won the nomination on the first ballot.]


JFK chose the primary runner-up, LBJ, to be his VP, to unify the party. It may have been his margin of victory in an EV squeaker. Lose MI, SC and TX, and suddenly there’s no Camelot, no Dealey Plaza incident.
