Haley isolated after Trump fallout
The Hill ^ | 2/25/2021 | MAX GREENWOOD

Posted on 02/25/2021 10:06:33 AM PST by marcusmaximus

When a handful of potential Republican presidential hopefuls convene on Thursday for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), there will be one notable absence from the speaking lineup: Nikki Haley.

Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a potential 2024 White House contender, has found herself isolated from former President Trump and the populist wing of the GOP that he commands after a scathing interview with Politico in which she denounced her former boss and wrote off his future influence in Republican politics.

The fallout from Haley’s remarks underscores the risks associated with her strategy of criticizing Trump’s actions and establishing a separate political identity while at the same time trying to appeal to his base of supporters.

Trump declined her request last week for a face-to-face meeting at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. He has indicated that he will exact revenge on Republicans whom he believes have crossed him, throwing Haley’s future political ambitions into uncertain territory.

“She just doesn’t get it.”

She gets it. She was always GOPe and listened to them.
Now she is in Siberia. Permanently.

As if criticizing Trump would somehow make her stand out...

Great image, nothing more to say. Birds of a feather flock together. Those two should flock together in some other country.

This is the best article I’ve read on FR so far today. It is exactly what Haley deserves. I think of it as “just desserts.”

Believes?? Having a bunch of knives stuck in your back is a tad more than “belief”.

I thought that CPAC had been bought and paid for by GOPe and Conservatism, Inc.? If Trump has returned CPAC to its true conservative roots then that in itself would be a great coup... a REAL coup in fact.

So both Nimrata Randhawa and Judas Pence are conspicuously absent from the Agenda. The sound of “BOO!” probably scares them — and not in a Halloween way.

I would not vote for her for any office, even if she ran as an “official” Republican and even if she was unopposed.

That picture makes me sick. Especially when you realize who they are laughing at, that is all of us.

Nikki did a Trey Gowdy ......figured she could have it both ways

Gowdy was riding high w/ conservatives and figured he could suck up to liberals and work both sides of the aisle.
Ended up w/ him in No-Man’s Land......resigning his Congressional seat.

Nikki dissed Trump then wanted visibility with him to pursue her political ambitions.
Trump wouldnt play her crude game....now she’s out in the cold.

She’s welcome to take her Trump-hatred to the 2024 Primaries and run on that to VICTORY!

Sorry, needed to crack a joke today!

She’ll go tribal anyway, and I’m sick of tribal people, which means that I’m voting for a white male...not sure who, but a white male.

They’re in a bubble, just like big city Democrats. They really don’t understand how much support Trump has because they don’t personally know anyone who supports Trump (or will admit to it) in the circles they move in.

I’m not sure how they avoid the cognitive dissonance when they see lines around the block to get into Trump rallies, or see that he gets more votes than any Republican in decades, but once you believe something, your brain can explain all sorts of contrary evidence away.

She trashed him in 2016, and Bannon says she left the Administration in 2018 right before the Midterms.

The article is SO CUTE. It deals with the dilemma virtually all leading Republicans (other than Desantis) have of how can you act in the best interests of the country, yet still appear to be supporting Trump.

EASY ANSWER: Support Trump!!!
