Wall Street Eyes Nikki Haley as Trump Spoiler
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 18, 2023 8:00 am ET | Cara Lombardo and AnnaMaria Andriotis

Posted on 11/19/2023 10:49:21 AM PST by entropy12

Big hitters on Wall Street are lining up to support Nikki Haley’s long-shot bid to snatch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination from Donald Trump.

“There’s a desperate, desperate hunt for anybody but Trump,” said one of the roughly 30 senior executives The Wall Street Journal spoke with to gauge the mood of the finance set roughly a year ahead of the election.

While Wall Street’s die-hard Democrats are sticking with President Biden, many other financiers have been casting about for an alternative to Trump, the former president they see as too unpredictable among other concerns. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s clash with Walt Disney and stilted public appearances hurt his standing, while Virginia Democrats’ statewide victories this month quashed the idea of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (and former Carlyle Group co-CEO) jumping into the race.

Attention on Haley, a former South Carolina governor and Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, intensified after Sen. Tim Scott’s (R., S.C.) unexpected exit Sunday.

Wall Street is not only tone deaf and clueless, they have been completely taken over by the new generation of either “woke” retards, or bloodthirsty New World Order anti-America traitors.

Trust me... there’s also a sizeable portion of the Republican base who won’t for Trump.

I think Jews in the Democrat party is over.

Gee, I never heard that one before. Maybe, if they take all the black voters with them, it will make a difference.

There’s only one leader out there strong enough and not ‘owned’, and that’s Trump and I feel he’s too old. So, it doesn’t matter, the rest are all the same people in different clothes as usual, we’ll just have to work around whatever they do, which it how things have always been.

I realize it pisses 90% of people here off to even think of it, but I still say Trump’s only chance of actually winning is to cut a deal with RFK Jr. to be his VP. Yeah I know that would set RFK Jr. up to become Potus in 2028 but my fear is that if Trump doesn’t win in 2024 there’s not going to be enough of a country left by 2028 to worry about it. Another four years of Biden/Harris/Newsome/Moochele/Whoever would complete the “transformation” to an open borders socialist state and no conservative be electable.

It would be the ultimate Art of the Deal but who better to pull it off? If you can’t win, nothing else matters.

What they mean is that she has no shot to beat any D-rat which is good in their estimation because Wall Street is making a killing under Bidungnomics scheme and style socialfacism.

That would make for a fabulous show instead of the complete bore that is likely coming.

There is basically no Democratic Party without black voters and Jewish money. I wonder if donations to Biden’s re-election has gone down since the Hamas war against Israel.

Thank you for referencing that article entropy12.

"Wall Street Eyes Nikki Haley as Trump Spoiler"


Just as with DeSatis, Haley doesn't seem to understand that she cannot take the 10th Amendment powers that she used as governor to make her state thrive to the Oval Office and use those powers to likewise make the nation thrive. Using state powers in the Oval Office is why we are now being oppressed under the boots of an unconstitutionally big federal government imo.

That being said, the next major political event in USA is not hopeful Trump 47 being elected a third time, but Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots getting ready ASAP to support Trump campaign by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG Gaetz & Company (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.

After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably that citizens that would ultimately get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.

Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A) after they win office.

Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.

Again, the definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.

Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.

She's spoiled .. meat.
"Let's just start with Haley. 80s sinister rouge, limp hair with shitty coloring over the grey roots makes her look like an unhappy Afghan Hound.

A low-key drag-goth outfit, also 80s, that doesn't fit her anywhere. And fugly shoeboots to boot.

SLAY, QWEEN YOU STUPID RINO B---H. YOUR PHARMACY CALLED THEY'RE ALL OUT OF YOUR OZEMPIC. TRUMP WANTS TO BUY YOU A BIG MAC AND FRIES LOFL!"

Doesn’t matter to them. They have been successfully picking the Republican nominee for decades and they could care less what the base wants or says.

To summarize your comments. She is a non-white vagina with repugnant political views. Doesn’t that description apply to VP Harris?

To make sure DJTrump cannot get back to WHouse. That is why DNC (aka commie trash) are supporting her via paid endorsements by supposed conservatives.
