“I don’t think he’s going to be in the picture. I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” Thus spoke Nikki Haley -- former South Carolina governor, former ambassador to the UN, and now presidential aspirant -- exposing once again her self-serving bona fides. In denigrating Donald Trump, the establishment Republican ended up revealing to Trump’s loyal base of 75-80 million supporters just how much she is motivated by opportunism. Also, just how out of touch she is with the rank and file.
Haley’s betrayal of President Trump took the form of a forceful condemnation: “We need to acknowledge he let us down.

Doesn't she have some pressure to buckle under to? Maybe she could ban a flag or something to appease a vocal minority of vocal minorities.

Never trusted Nikki because this woman is two faced. I would not waste my time of her at all.

She's a typical politician... An empty vessel waiting to be told by her minder's which direction the political winds are blowing. Some minder's are better than other minder's.

Opportunistic is what she is... She's aching for more power that she can cash in on. The party should expel people like her, not embrace them!

Liked her at first, but not so much now. She's cunning and dishonest, a dangerous combination.

Haley and Romney are trying to grab frontrunner status among never Trumpers. Neocon secular Republican elitists chafing at being reduced to just another vote with those baskets of deplorable church goin God fearin, gun owning, small government want to take back control so that the political and donor classes can continue to benefit from America’s decline.

Sorry, Honey, we deplorable who voted for Pres. Trump will never vote for you after you publicly trashed him. Why would you do that when he put you back on the stage. You showed your true colors and they are dark.

What you’re really saying, Nikki, is that now he’s no longer President he can’t do much for you so it’s off to find someone else who can “help you up the political ladder”.

Reminds me of the hype for Christie Todd Whitman a few years back - she was also a "rising star" in the Republican party. A legend to the Slimes and compost. Meh....

Nikki, I once had high hopes for you. You haven't figured Trump out yet why we voted for him in 2016 and 2020 in unprecedented numbers. More importantly you haven't figured us out. Let me offer you a little assistance:
First constitutionally oriented voters have had an unserved thirst for representation and have been monumentally disappointed in what we perceived to be a "uniparty." You saw us in 2010 when the left called us teabaggers. In 2016 we expressed our dissatisfaction in the established GOP by nominating an outsider. That should have been a wake up call that the insider cabal was being rejected. In the the four years of the Trump administration we learned that what we once thought of as a uniparty was much more sinister and in fact a vase deep and wide swamp of corruption. This exposed itself in the refusal to accept the legitimacy of our president and the prominent members of the GOP showing their cards which ranged from a handful willing to support us by supporting out president, Jordan, Nunes, Ghomert to those stabbing him and us in the back. And you think there's still room for your dagger?
What makes you think that we are going to fold our tents and go away? Where the hell are we going to go? Could you possibly be that stupid, have you done that little homework, are you that disinterested in understanding what the hell has been happening?
Yea, you and your ilk are done.

When the RNC decides that she will be YOUR choice in 2024, what will you do then?
Start a New Party?
Why wait until then?
Why continue the insanity?
Why?

I gave her a pass on the flag thing, in view of the extraordinary atrocity that created pressure for its removal. Having said that, I would not vote for this slimy individual for dog catcher.

The headline says it all. I am surprised at how many Republican politicians understand nothing about their base. Breaking with Trump alienates at least 75% of Republican voters, maybe more. I think they are embarrassed by people who are patriotic and who reject the America-bad, America-racist view of the core Democrats. Haley's smarter move would have been to come out in support of Trump in the hope she could be the VP nominee if he ran again or the actual nominee with his support if he didn't. But at least she has exposed herself for who she really is. Next.

I so, wanted to believe that she would accomplish something in her life but, I guess, all she will ever have done in life was to become Governor of South Carolina. Her national aspirations just went down the drain, as far as I'm concerned.

I used to buy what she was selling. Not anymore. There's no guarantee she stands for anything. Is she still for Jesus?

Tell us about the state flag of South Carolina and how you 'let the Carolinians down' knuckling under to a vocal minority. Put the original flag back up and we might listen to you, traitor.

If she does run, I predict that she won’t even win the primary here in South Carolina.

Haley, once a darling of conservatives everywhere and PDT's Ambassador to the UN, is a politician betting on three years into the future, not today. By then FPDT will have proven himself a "power" in American politics, or will be enjoying his Palm Beach Elbe in relative silence.
Expect the '24 GOP "sweepstakes" to feature a number of players, like '16 did. By then the "patriots" should have their own party, offering some MAGA-knockoff alternative.

Haley knows she has fumbled the ball by being one of the first to adopt the leftist view about the capitol "insurgency" being caused by Trump. She had an article in this morning's Wall St. Journal explaining herself, trying to thread the needle in her favor. You could never vote for her and expect she will not buckle under at the first sign of left-wing pressure. Pelosi, Schumer, and the news media could force her to shift her positions in a heartbeat.

Not forgiving her taking down the Confederate Flag and starting the ball rolling. She, Mitch, the Jebster and Mitt can go cry in their beer. Done.
