clearing path for Trump vs. Biden in November

Seriously? "clearing path", does anyone actually think that dimwit Haley was an obstacle in Trump's way?? SMH.

"I wanted Americans to have their voices heard,"..

Despite weeks of Americans yelling "beat it" in nooki's ear,
she paid no attention.

Who?

"I wanted Americans to have their voices heard," the former South Carolina governor said Wednesday morning in Charleston. "I have done that. I have no regrets. And though I will no longer be a candidate, I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in."

Six I's in a short four-sentence statement. Reveals what really motivates Haley. She is immensely selfish and self-centered. It's all about her and her over-inflated sense of importance.

NO. Thank you Haley for completely destroying ANY chance you had politically moving forward.

“I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in.”

You do that, Nikki; the DNC is awaiting your arrival.

What does it matter? For those who believe Biden stole the 2016 election, they’ll believe Biden will do it again. For those who believe Biden won it fairly, they’ll expect the same scenario this election.

Nikki Haley drops out of Republican presidential race, clearing path for Trump in a rare moment of adult behavior . . .

Fixed.

At least Ron DeSantis took the hint early on.

2016?

[Flaming Conservative]

IOW, I’m not going to shut up! You can’t make me! I’m going to keep harping on the Orange Man Bad! Go Biden!

Haley cleared the path for Trump???

The voters cleared the path for Trump.

These idiots never quit.

I think it is possible that Nikki Haley could be a prime choice for a "No Labels" third party run, along with Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema, who will be out of their Senate jobs as of January 2025. "Sore loser" laws are in effect in several states, but one effect of the recent Supreme Court ruling reinstating Trump to the Colorado ballot is to establish Federal supremacy over Federal elections, thus eviscerating those laws on the Federal level.

There has never been a third party candidate to win a Presidential election, unless you count Lincoln in 1860 as one. The last "moderate" Republican to run an independent third party run was John Anderson in 1980. He received 6.6% of the popular vote and no electoral votes, but his voters denied Reagan a 47 state sweep. Biden is probably as weak as Carter was. However, the political spectrum has shifted leftward since that time. Unless Trump has moved the needle significantly with respect to black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish voters, a third party candidacy could have a greater impact now than in 1980. Remember that about one third of primary voters chose someone other than Trump. If the donor base that supported Haley, DeSantis, and others decides to fund a "No Labels" party, that could put Biden, or whomever the Democrats choose in his place, over the top without higher levels of cheating than we saw in 2020 and 2022.

She’s no Margaret Thatcher.

Re: all those “I’s”

Similar to California Congress critter Katie Porter who lost her attempt to stay in the Senate race. In her concession last night, “Me, Myself, and I” ad nauseam. Her career is gone. Now go away, Katie.
Of course, Schiff is equally as bad but I’m glad Big Kate is history.

She was never actually in it. It was a marathon. She was three miles in it
and running the wrong direction.
