‘This Is A Fight We Must Wage And Win’: Nikki Haley Warns Against ‘Trendy’ Socialism Of Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders

“Socialism has failed everywhere it’s ever been tried,” Haley said. “Instead of prosperity, it leads to poverty.”

“Instead of opportunity, it creates dependency. Instead of liberty, it means oppression at home and often means aggression abroad instead of hope for a better tomorrow,” she said.

She pointed out that though countries around the world suffer from socialism, “socialism has become trendy in parts of America these days,” drawing on Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s affinity for socialism.

“It’s in Congress, where an up and coming congresswoman says, ‘Capitalism is irredeemable,'” Haley said, referring to a comment made by Ocasio-Cortez. “It’s at the highest levels of society and politics right now.”

Somewhere earlier a "Where's Nikki" comment was made. Well here she is. Butt, silly thing, burknee sanDUHs and occasional cortex have learned how to do it the CORRECT way this time. But, it is possible that the 'trendy' use may be because for the most part the youngsters have never been taught ANYTHING about socialism, communism, castro, mao, hitler, stalin, WW II and death camps.

It’s almost like taking down our Confederate flag gave the wrong message to America haters. Thanks Nikki!

I’m a yankee and ALL of that crap broke my heart.

I was saddened how easily they came down.

But that can be changed.

And should be.

I hope it does.

Where are these legions of people capitalism has allegedly “failed?” Who are they, and is their condition the fault of capitalism or does the blame lie closer to home?

We are in a political fight with just-shy-of-open Communists, a contest that illustrates with emphasis the total uselessness of the public school system and the Great Universities insofar as education is concerned.

She doesn’t want a communist but a globalist to rule us.

The fight we must win is against Bush League Republicans like Haley who want to give amnesty to illegal aliens and a permanent majority of socialist voters to Democrats.

It’s also trendy to believe that the children of foreign nationals are natural born citizens.

Obviously the catastrophic Kenyanesian Usurpation was not enough to wake people up that the founders were absolutely correct to exclude everyone who has more than ONE nationality.

Thank you, Nikki.
It also be nice to hear what the Vice President had to say about Bernie. So far, the usual Pence silence.

Hey Nikki, do the initials ESAD mean anything to you?

You would think that liberal POS could take a hint.

The government schools have been pushing socialism for two generations. Now it’s hip.

What’s hip today
Might become passe’
Hipness is, what it is
And sometimes hipness is
What it ain’t
If you’re really hip
The passing years would show
If you’re really hip
You got to be on the Trump trip

Apologies to Tower Of Power.

Love their music. Avoid their politics likely.

Perhaps those would be U.S. workers who lose their jobs to immigrants or the factory workers whose job are lost when shareholder value is maximized by moving a plant overseas.
