Maybe the pundits claiming former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is really running for vice president were right.
By mimicking former president Donald Trump's mockery of Ron DeSantis as "sanctimonious" and supporting the Disney Corporation in its feud with the Florida governor over its woke policies, Haley is kissing up to the current frontrunner. Helping Trump attack DeSantis may seem like smart politics. But since her campaign remains stuck in the low single digits, despite years of working towards her presidential goal, it's just as likely that Haley is only validating those who have said all along that her only realistic shot is to become Trump's running mate.
That might make her the Republican equivalent to Vice President Kamala Harris. President Joe Biden chose Harris as his running mate to demonstrate his fealty to the diversity catechism after her disastrously incompetent run for president proved she couldn't overshadow him once they were elected. And since Haley seemed to tout her own diversity credentials as much as anything else in her campaign announcement—prompting some conservatives to mock her as the GOP's "diversity candidate"—she may serve the same purpose for Trump.
But there's more at play here than Haley's efforts to keep her campaign visible and mend fences with her former boss. DeSantis' argument with Disney—which has now sued to get back its power to effectively govern itself via a sweetheart deal from the state that the governor recently canceled—is more significant than any political points Haley can score off it.

That sounds like hate speech! See you in court !
Hahah, so nuanced when it comes to understanding Desanctimonius. News flash, all of the positions are more nuanced that the slogans of the headlines. If you tried just as hard to understand Nikki and Trump you could defend them as well I’m sure...This is why the countrybis screwed (one of many reasons to be fair. The intellect dishonesty
She’s already ‘suspect’ in my view
“Siding with Disney” is the least of Nimrata’s problems.
All this culture wars BS is a distraction.
It does. Go away and think of something else to write about.
I thought the same for a while but seeing how vague and disordered society is turning so quickly with all the moral relativism it doesn’t appear to be bs after all
Trump sided with Disney too..
Y’all are working to hard to attack her by doing what the media did with Trump often.
The instant she popped off I said she is siding with the groomers. What is she she thinking? Self inflicted wounds are the saddest kind.
“You lying POS”
Your intelligence is surpassed only by your vocabulary.
DISNEY OR NO DISNEY——
NIKKI HALEY IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT
SHE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
NEITHER OF HER PARENTS ERE USA CITIZENS WHEN SHE WAS BORN.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DELVE INTO THIS WITH TRUMP
SHE has no intention of bringing up her NOT ELIGIBLE status.
I busted out laughing when she entered the race. I thought it was funny as hell.
“Siding With Disney Should Disqualify Nikki Haley...”
NOT being a “natural born citizen” DOES Disqualify Nikki Haley from being president AND vice president.
But heh, because of the ineligible Obama, we could soon see a transvestite illegal alien as our president.
(Michelle/Michael Obama fits half that qualification)
Nikki Haley has a ZERO following.
She is a NOBODY.
She is only a contender in her own mind.
I don’t have a problem with what DeSantis did with Disney in Florida, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a major election deciding issue. It seems more like a distraction.
Disney isn’t moving to SC. They can’t pack up all the amusement parks and put them down on cheap land somewhere else. Their corporate offices are in California anyway, to be close to that film studio and TV network that they own.
Trump, if he’s smart, won’t think that saying that Haley is inelegible because of some NBC theory is any kind of winning issue. That train has left the station — if that train ever was at the station to begin with.
Heard candidate this morning . Was impressed.
