Nikki Haley,

NIKKI HALEY Here’s who is running for president in 2024 Haley calls for US to move on from ‘faded names of the past’ Trump attacks Haley on Medicare, Social Security cuts MORE(NIKKI HALEY) the newly minted Republican presidential candidate, called on Wednesday for mandatory “mental competency tests” for politicians older than 75, an implied dig at President Biden and her onetime boss, former President Trump.

Speaking at a rally in Charleston, S.C., kicking off her 2024 White House bid, Haley ran through a litany of political promises, including enacting term limits for members of Congress and cracking down on illegal immigration.

But it was a vow to impose mandatory cognitive tests on older officeholders that underscored the central message of her campaign: that the United States needs a younger leader after previously electing two of the oldest men to ever occupy the White House.

what about Fetterman, he's younger than 65. Nikki needs to just go away.

I’d prefer an “honesty to oath” test instead....

Nikki Haley needs a gig on CNN or PMSNBC, where all good RINOs go to retire.

how about a TREASON TEST and READING TEST
for candidates who are actually not eligible????

Haley is not LOYAL to the US Constitution,
and would fail both of those tests.

It's the elephant in the room. If I were the head of the RNC I would be pushing for debates without any moderators. Just a back and forth with a person doing timing and 10 topics, and none of them about abortion or diversity or gay rights or other such leftist nonsense like climate change.

They All need IQ tests, mental competency tests and a course in Civics 101. Term limits also need to be applied.

No-Lips Nimrata is running for VICE-President.

Her job is to take on Trump so DeSantis doesn't have to, then be named his running mate. At least that's what Jeb & Co. are hoping for.

There are plenty of people mentally competent that are over 75 and plenty under 75 that are not.

Let’s go back to the State Legislatures voting for Pres, it can’t be cheated that way as everybody is accounted for. No phantoms living in parking lots voting 1,000x

It's a smart move, I think Judge Jeanine is making millions thanks to her challenging Hillary for Senate.

Come one come all. Perhaps there should be a citizenship, mental health test & physical exam required to run. Lots of dead wood has slipped through thus far and much of it in younger persons.

DeSantis is a strong conservative who would not want the likes of Haley on his team.
