"No Labels" Leader Says They Would "Definitely Be Interested" In Backing Nikki Haley
Real Clear Politics ^ | 2/25/24 | Tim Hains

Posted on 02/26/2024 6:56:34 AM PST by CFW

"No Labels" national director Joe Cunningham told "Fox & Friends" on Sunday that the group would "definitely" be interested in giving Nikki Haley a platform to run as a third-party presidential candidate if and when she drops out of the Republican primary.

"We’re talking to a lot of spectacular people right now, and we’re not ready to unveil those folks just yet," Cunningham said.

"This has been a project to essentially give Americans another choice if they’re unhappy with the presumptive nominees. Which, you know, it appears it’s going to be Trump vs. Biden right now, but we don’t know," he said. "Nikki Haley, she’s remaining in the race. You can’t count her out completely. And hats off to her for staying in and for sticking with it."

"But we’re looking for great quality people and folks that have broad an appeal to independents, Democrats, Republicans. And, yeah, I mean, Nikki Haley is somebody we’d definitely be interested in," he said. "We won't be making a decision until after Super Tuesday. We’ve said from the onset that after Super Tuesday we’re going to look at who the presumptive nominees are, and if the vast majority of Americans are unhappy with those and we feel like we can put forward a ticket or offer a ballot line to candidates who can win, then we’re going to offer that ballot line."

Any ticket with her name on it would get ZERO electoral votes from ANY state in the south, the reddest region of the country.

"All that means is that she has access to donations."

Also known as payoff for helping Democrats sabotage the election.

No one expects her to get electoral votes. They want her to be the Ross Perot of 2024 by splitting off enough Republican votes to give Democrats an advantage.

Yeah—the lawyers all disagree with each other on whether “sore loser” laws apply just to state offices or federal offices as well.

The issue has not gone to the Supreme Court so states can do as they please—and of course by the time appeals got to the Supreme Court the election would be over....

This is a dead end—and a quagmire for anyone who goes there.

Having seen all the criminal activity democrats are brazenly carrying out right in the open, would it really shock you if they tried to find a way to end run the sore looser law? ‘Cause it sure wouldn’t me.......after all, at the end of the day this is Donald Trump we’re talking about here.

Having said all that, I sure hope your right.

Of course they would.

No Labels is "liberals but lets not call them that".

And if you are surprised you need to check your cynicism meter. You are about a quart low.

The No Labels Party is the Know Nothing Party of the 21st Century. What do they stand for? Nothing.

I’m in GA and Haley is my choice. Voted for DT twice but won’t again since he’s instigated “Operation Name-calling”. Savvy Dems will make Trump the R nominee and he’ll lose again imo.

I guess they need another third party candidate to “park” votes before moving them to Biden. ( more election shenanigans)

If they are not all all state ballots, then whomever is associated with the party is simply a loser with NO CHANCE who wants to muck things up.

John Anderson took 6% of the vote from Reagan, who was uniquely charismatic across party lines. Even people who disagreed with Reagan liked him. Whereas Trump is uniquely hated even in the GOP.

If Haley runs, he’s toast. She can’t win, but she can deny him the presidency. That’s why a shotgun wedding might be necessary - it’s the same reason Biden picked one of his primary opponents as VP, and even Reagan picked Bush. To unify the party.

Anderson was a Republican congressman, but he took more votes away from Carter than from Reagan. That explains why state like Massachusetts and New York went for Reagan.

Trump will have to pick somebody who brings him votes from people who wouldn’t otherwise vote for him, but too many bridges between Trump and Haley have been burned. There’s more of a gap between Trump and Haley than there was between Reagan and Bush, who could agree on Cold War matters.

Apart from Trump’s potty mouth, he’s pretty similar to Haley. Only in one respect is Trump different from Haley (and Reagan), and that’s his extreme aggressiveness in foreign policy. Reagan ran from Beirut. Trump killed Iran’s #2. Reagan (or Bush) would never have killed those Russians in Syria. Reagan’s Marine peacekeepers in Lebanon operated with unloaded rifles.

They also went for Nixon in 1972. At the national level, voters were a lot less partisan than they are today. Anderson ran in the GOP primaries and was clearly a Republican, placing third behind Reagan and Bush. While he ran as an independent after losing the GOP nomination, voters understood that a vote for Anderson was a vote for GOP policies, even if a shade to the left of Reagan.
