She was always on the edge of flaming Trump...even when she was working with him.

I think they are joined at the hip, globalist, profiteers.
https://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/haley-southcarolina-romney-endorsement/2011/12/16/id/421188/

Rather than turning companies around as Nimrata claims, Romney was a corporate raider.

“Taibbi’s article describes how Romney in the 1980s pioneered the strategy of taking over vulnerable companies, burdening them with massive debt, bleeding them with extravagant fees, forcing them to lay off workers and then sometimes driving them into bankruptcy all while he and Bain Capital walked away with millions of dollars.”

“Taibbi sees Romney as a pioneer in another way, a founder of the new state-less world for the ultra-rich, a builder of an “archipelago” of privileged enclaves from which the extravagantly wealthy can live far from the average folks left behind in the old-style nation-states whose resources are drained to benefit the “archipelago.”

Yes, the Jeb-Mitt way...is over. The two governors Nome & DeSantis get it. She does not.

Her name is the problem. Often 1st generation people suck.
She had no problem destroying southern culture and history because it isn’t hers.
Same as 1st generation Pakis in England.
Same as 1st generation half blacks.

A divided allegiance is no allegiance.

I agree that socialism is really about wealth transference from the common classes to the elites. I’ve always know that and I say that when talking to liberals, to try and wake them up.

The list of “tea party candidates” shows that the movement was immediately infiltrated by grifters and GOPE estabishment.

-Nimrata Hayely
-Paul Ryan (!)
-Marco Rubio
-Ted Cruz

Nikki Haley is John Kasich in a dress.

But her father wasn't a mailman. BTW, did she expect Trump to just "live and let live." That was a serious, perhaps fatal miscalculation on her part.

Her name is Nimrata Randhawa.

Her name is whatever she says it is, as is Trump's or anyone else's. That said - her name is mud is far as I'm concerned. She misjudged badly.

I’m tired of hearing the effing word

Republican

What have they done really other than literally a handful of them

I can find a handful of old school Dems who were staunch social righties

This is where talk radio fails us

Republican c*ck holsters

We have to move beyond this Republicans fix shite mindset

They do not

They betray us a as a party over and over

Individuals help us

Magnus and Trump foremost

A modern GOPe could easily be a moderate 70s democrat

I admire DeSantis and Noem. FRiends, we don’t need Trump to run agin; the torch must be passed to the next generation. I hope the popularity of these two continues to grow. We don’t need a knock drag out between 18 candidates like last time. Personally I favor DeSantis for POTUS and Noem for VP

If Republicans want strong principles leaders they have to change the way 'political consultants' are paid.

Consultants don't accept everyone who wants to hire them BECAUSE they get paid as a PERCENTAGE OF AD BUYS.

The consultant wants a client who can raise lots of money (a real glad-handler) - who tells everyone what they want to hear) AND a person TRUSTING AND GULLIBLE ENOUGH to let the consultant make large (sometimes unnecessary - ad buys)

The political consultant does NOT want Winston Churchill - he wants Neville Chamberlain... Want a different type of candidate? Change the incentives...

You nailed it.

Personally, I look for people I can trust. They don’t have to be perfect ideologically or right all the time. They need to get the big issues right and show good judgement. Be willing to take a punch, not flinch and punch back.

Also, instincts. That’s what proves a person worthy.

Rubio screwed up on immigration and Cruz screwed up after trump beat him. Nikki could have positioned herself as viable but last week, it is over. Much like her quick move on the confederate flag as governor she shows she has poor instincts and too easily buys the leftist narrative.

You are a better man than I. Liberals are evil, if not actively so then from pride, avarice, a craving for power, sloth and hypocrascy.
The damage they have done to America in the last several decades has robbed them of any excuse of blindness based on a fallacious belief system.
Liberals need to be removed from power. The corruption they have fostered and exploited needs to be scoured clean and America remade as she was intended based on the Constitution, enumerated powers only and equal justice for all, even President Trump.

“Her name isn’t the problem.”

When she rips down American culture at the drop of a hat, it is relevant.

Cruz is pretty conservative but just out of touch with reality.

How in the world he didnt think about pics of him laying on a beach like Christy while his constituents had no water, were literally freezing to death with no electricity and grocery stores bare of food is just really beyond rational thinking. They even have a pic of a his poor little lonely dog left to freeze sitting in the doorway...It doesn’t matter that a security guard is watching over it.

That pic will be used many times and will haunt him like Romney and his dog on the roof of a vehicle.
