Nikki Haley Positioned to Replace Ron DeSantis September 12, 2023 | Sundance | 430 Comments
The DeSantis campaign is imploding. The most recent admission from the team managing DeSantis was their shifted goalposts for a second place in Iowa. Additionally, there is now friction between Ron DeSantis and Jeff Roe (head of Never Back Down PAC), if the inside campaign leakers are to be believed.
There is an element of total understanding to the frustration about the bitter pill DeSantis is being forced to swallow. I mean, think about it, the management of Ron DeSantis didn’t just posit the 2024 campaign in the last year, this has been a long thought-out strategy going back much further. In retrospect, the DeSantis ’24 operation tracks to sometime in 2018; at least that’s when DeSantis had to give some formal nod of willingness.
Now, Ron DeSantis has to watch as Nikki Haley is shifted into his lane by the professional apparatus that controls the lane alignments. Ron can’t win, that is transparently obvious, and he is now being bumped down in priority as the financial control people start to push Nikki Haley. Seeing this must be driving Ms. Casey bananas.
CNN ran a puff piece on Nikki Haley recently, along with a poll showing that only she could defeat Joe Biden.
Before laughing, it’s wise to remember what CNN represents in the game of political media. CNN is the official state media of the U.S. State Dept. Nikki Haley was former UN ambassador and aligns with the worldview of the CNN control room and executive offices.
Haley is an empty vessel. She has no true positions of her own and uses the headlines and sentiment of the moment to determine her outlooks. This is why she previously said she would not run against Donald Trump, and said Bubba Wallace was a victim of horrible NASCAR racism. These might sound disconnected but remember, at the time each statement was made – these were shallow public opinion constructs, not core beliefs. Nikki Haley has no core values; she is a consultant’s dream candidate who will morph to the positions of the handlers.
ABC is now coming out with another puff piece to support Haley, in a boost to the narrative started by CNN.
The machine is working overtime now......
More at site.
So, Haley is fighting tooth and nail to be a very distant 2nd place candidate? She’s got to know that Trump would never pick her as VP or give her another cabinet position, so what’s the point, maybe a book deal or a show on CNN?
That was settled in 08
Yes, its pretty clear thats the plan at this point... the estbalishment has realized Ron is a dud, and so now going to try to push Haley...
It won’t work.
Trumps the nominee... the clown show needs to end, asap.
Reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Put me down as never to vote for her on a presidential ticket. If the USSC rules she is batural born I might change my min, but not for her.
nor is harris
DeSantis is the best of the 50 governors.
source?
Desantis is a non starter.
He’s not going to be the nominee, and he’ll almost certainly have bowed out before Florida votes in March, if he even survives that long. Otherwise he’ll be facing the very humiliating outcome of being a sitting governor who lost the primary in his own state.
Need to wake up.

Desantis’ direction is the wrong direction and in spite of how many “relaunches” it continues to decline, and its not going to change.
Everyone who’s name isn’t Trump are basically fighting for a share of the 30-40% of the vote, doesn’t matter what any of them do, none of them are going to be the nominee.
When the dust settles, Trump will be the nominee with well over 60% of the votes cast...
As the folks who prefer someone other than Trump keep trying to find a candidate... they will bounce from candidate to candidate, and with each subsequent jump, some of them will come to conclude, Trump’s a better choice.. and the poll of “not Trump” voters will diminish every time one of these also rans drops out.
Oct 15th the campaigns will have to report their finances again, .. we already know 85% of desantis’s money is coming from a few large donors with very little from small donors... that’s not a campaign that is going to survive while performing in the teens, and dropping.
BOTH PARENTS MUST BE CITIZENS BEFORE BIRTH OF CHILD
IMO, Haley is committing FRAUD for taking even a single dime.
NOT ME
I WILL WRITE IN TRUMP
OBONGO has proven to be a total disaster-—
WHY vote for another disaster???
08 was a complete fraud perpetuated by Howard Dean & Pelosi
NOTHING WAS “SETTLED”.
IT WAS SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS AND UNDER THE RUG
I know all that but it don’t matter anymore
Nimrod or Meatball
What a choice
Why? She’s a notch above useless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Agreed. Well at least for normal folks like us. As for the swamp??? She is perfect...
No she’s not. How many months now have Trump drones claimed Desantis is done? 4 or 5 now of fake stories. He’s a very clear second place and the only potential threat to Trump. He’s sitting in the teens while everyone else is in single digits. The constant drumbeat from Trump media sources is simply fake news.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ahhhhh yes...I remember the good ole days - 3 months ago - when the Desantis fanboys would say things like “well he is not officially running so his numbers don’t reflect”.
Then it was well he just announced, and the American public doesn’t know him yet.
Now??? LMAO. It’s over for Desantis. Everyone but the diehards know it. But deep down, the diehards know it too.
Time to get on the Trump train. Stop this foolishness and back the only guy who can save the country.
When the GOPe kicks Desantis to the curb, ya better pay attention.
Why isn't any MAGA, Conservative - person or organization taking her to court to challenge her eligibility? Why isn't Trump taking her to court to challenge her eligibility?
