Former president Donald Trump's 2024 campaign criticized former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley (R) after she announced her candidacy for president.
Moments after Haley launched her presidential bid in Charleston, South Carolina, the Trump campaign released an email headlined "The Real Nikki Haley."
The email listed seven critiques of prior comments that Haley has made, including her statement in April 2021 that she would not run for president if Trump did.
"I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it. That's something that we will have a conversation about at some point if that decision is something that has to be made," she said.
Despite her comments, Haley changed her mind, entering the 2024 GOP presidential race, arguing that it is "time for a new generation to lead."
Get excited! Time for a new generation.

While serving as U.N. ambassador under the Trump administration, Haley said she "had a great working relationship" with the former president.

The Trump campaign also blasted Haley's 2012 interview with the New York Times, during which she said, "The real reason I actually ran for office is because of Hillary Clinton."
"I went to Birmingham University and Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker on a leadership institute and she said that when it comes to women running for office, there will be everybody that tells you why you shouldn't but that's all the reasons why we need you to do it and I walked out of there thinking, that's it. I'm running for office," she said at the time.

Well, there were those who said very similar....back in 2015-16.
😉
Oh, thank you for posting that ... AGAIN!!!
You’re a one-trick pony. It’s boring.
Their Republicans are starting to give IL, CA, and NY Republicans a run for their money.
i call it compassionate repetition...
it’s the same technique i use to train dogs...
She’s a snake.
So why did Trump hire her to be in his administration? Another lousy hiring decision by Trump (“the apprentice” lol)
“Texas isn’t giving them all these benefits...YOU ARE.”
It the Texans. Benefits are handed out by the state.
Trump batted around 98% in the primaries, and 92% in the general. How is that dismal?”
It’s dismal when one doesn’t pad their score with races that were a lock with or without Trump’s endorsement.
He isn’t.
Oh for Pete’s sake. That happens after the primaries. He is doing same thing he did in 2016. That should surprise nobody.
He has been speaking out about Biden.
I prefer her over Kamalala of Lala Land.
He really doesn’t need to even pay attention to her. She’ll implode all by herself.
When the little support that she will get, dwindles to nothing, she’ll get desperate and really do herself in.
If he’s losing any, it’s the ones that are in their knees for DeSantis.
Outside of that, he isn’t losing his base.
That is not what I am seeing.
—> Trump better start spending his time in NOISE attacking Biden and the enemies of this country instead of fellow Republicans. He is losing votes every day he continues this!
Demoncrats are not running in the Republican primary.
Trump is doing exactly as he should.
The Fed’s pick up the bill initially. That help sheets and the state taxpayer then has to foot the bills
The Tenn legislature tried suing Soetero over that exact thing. Of course, a federal judge said the legislature had no standing.
So did your daddy
Well,‘I realize polls are what they are.
One poll, done by some RINOs in SC, has DeSantis with a lead.
I’ve yet to see another one that doesn’t have Pres Trump on top, by double digits.
Rasmussen Poll: Trump Leads DeSantis by 13 Points Among Republican Voters
Time will tell
Most people aren’t paying close attention right now. Polls are beyond meaningless at this point.
As for me, I’ll wait and see where the chips fall. A lot can happen between now and then.
I don’t think he is worried because he doesn’t need the job. He would LIKE to have a shot at finishing the job, but it is not a visceral desperation, IMO.
I know that some people have Flaked off, but I am still intensely for him.
Looks like another Never Trumper troll....
