I cannot believe that Tricky Nikki thinks she has any chance at all to be nominated or win the Presidency. She cannot be that stupid.
If she had begun the process by taking positions to the right of Trump (the way that Vivek did and still does), she might have had a chance. Instead, she attacked Vivek and continues to attack Trump. Stupid moves.
If she had used Trump's legal problems as a way to highlight how the Deep State has unconscionably attacked Trump and his family--instead of repeatedly attacking Trump himself about his legal problems—she would have found a receptive ear. She should have been defending him against the Deep State, big government FBI, CIA, DOJ, etc. attacks on him—instead of repeatedly bringing those up, which offers some legitimacy to those attacks. She is still doing that today. Stupid move again.
She certainly has no base in the Republican Party, as those two huge moves listed above have completely alienated and pissed off the base. She can never have a base with the democrats, either, as the democrats that are voting for her now (to create chaos), will drop her like a hot potato if she were to be nominated—because she was a Trump appointee and admitted to voting for Trump twice. She would be poison to the democrats also. For that reason she does NOT have a base anywhere. She has to realize that.
Haley says that 70% of voters do not want to vote for either Trump or Biden. That may be true. However, it is ridiculous to think that if those two are the candidates, that most in both parties will not vote for either! That is totally absurd. Most will return home to their respective parties. Really stupid and naive comment on her part.
If she were to run as an Independent, just like John Anderson did in the 1980 election, her ceiling would be about 10% of those voters she alluded to. Therefore, it is absolutely absurd for her to think that she could possibly be elected President in any situation. I just cannot believe she is that stupid or clueless. We can guess, but only she, knows her real agenda here.
P.S. Her humiliation in South Carolina will be exceeded by a great deal tomorrow in Michigan!
P.P.S. As a relative newbie here, this is only my second thread post. My first post had a formatting error. My last two were not posted, I have no idea why. Thank you.
Yes, she could...
Haley is a PAID ACTRESS
Her billionaire supporters, in coordination with the DC deep-state, want to to continue, no matter how badly she does to push the narrative that the GOP isn’t happy with Trump, create fake headlines it is a competitive race, and as always, promote the Uniparty narrative
Once the contributions start drying up, that is likely when she'll drop out.
Another possibility is that if in the remote instance that Trump either dies or is somehow disqualified from running (very unlikely), that she can claim to be the last one standing for the nomination.
But at this point, I would write in DeSantis over voting for her should Trump not be on the ballot in November.
Interesting post.
The timeline matters here.
The Koch family approached her and offered her $30 million to run against President Trump.
She wasn’t busy for a few months—so she took the money.
;-)
Now the Kochs and her other largest fundraiser has bailed and it is getting time to go bye bye and disappear into history as a boring footnote.
What’s the over and under on that? :^)
Politics and attention and power is like a drug. She is not only addicted, she overdosed.
I wouldn’t rule it out.
Just like Obeyme and Gyorgy Schwartz.
She’s a whore.
I believe Nikki is that naive and ignorant.
Maybe she sees herself running as an independent candidate, who will run to make her political statement against Trump?
If she did that she would know she can’t win the general election. Maybe she thinks she can hurt Trump?
She is getting paid to attack Trump, not run for president.
the deep state promised the position would open up once the orange guy is taken out...
She loves the idiot audience adulation, leftist media interviews and praise, daily publicity, and gets to keep any leftover campaign PAC monies, in her political coffers, even though major donors are drying up.
I wish she would curry up and drop out
If the ultimate choice is Biden or Haley...it’s simple. I stay home and don’t vote.
I smell George Soros.
Haley is being paid by the Dems do be their cheerleader..everything that she says about Trump the Dems post it on twitter..Newsom himself said that the dems and haley agree on 99 percent of everything..I saw on newsmax a few days ago the “Haley for president” campaign commercial, she repeats the LIE about Charlottesville, that should tell you EXACTLY who Nikki Haley is..to even repeat that LIE that everyone knows is an utter LIE shows what kind of disgusting sack of crap Haley is
