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.

Disney decided to put their greasy thumb on the scales when they chose to fight for 'the right' to teach sex and 'gender issues' to kids K through 3rd grade.
Sorry, that's groomer crap and the people elected DeSantis they didn't elect Disney. This was a betrayal by a company that was loved and welcomed by Floridians... If Nikki Haley wants 'em... fine. Disney will carry this stench forever - it was NEVER 'don't say gay'... it was 'teach 5 year olds about trans...'

Your chronic abusive name calling does not belong on a forum like Free Republic. You are angry - fine, just articulate your reasons, positions and ideas like a grown up. You are an icon for Karens everywhere.
It seems like very time a decision has to be made, Haley has chosen the WRONG one.
