| Nikki Haley's complete ignorance of her own party is why Trump is the last candidate standing |
| 2024-03-03 |
| [NY Post] In truth, Haley’s not wrong that the party has changed. But she doesn’t seem to understand why it had to change. It would help if she at least recognized that radical leftists now control the Dems’ agenda and that a collegial GOP approach is doomed to fail. Like the media, Haley yearns for the days when the GOP was genteel, united — and comfortable with losing. Enter Trump, and whatever anyone wants to say of him, most of which is true, his GOP is no longer comfortable with losing. He survived the spying of the FBI and CIA, defeated Hillary Clinton and is again under relentless attack from Dem media and prosecutors. He has somehow survived it all and that is why he’s going to be the party’s presidential nominee for the third consecutive time. And don’t forget that his policy record is far superior to President Biden’s, especially on the border and economy. Trump’s ace, of course, is that his supporters see in him a defender and street fighter they never had in Mitt Romney, John McCain or either of the Bushes. And Haley, despite her racial background and pioneering efforts to break the party’s glass ceiling, more resembles the GOP nominees of yesteryear than Trump. Her temperament and policies are why many Trump supporters call her a RINO — a Republican in name only. That’s the ultimate insult, reserved for those who are willing to compromise with Democrats on the assumption the favor will be returned. Anyone who believes such give-and-take Dems still exist isn’t paying attention. |

| #15 I am sick and tired of these " oh Trump wasn't perfectly successful in his one term." Aside from not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, did they ever notice that he was not the all powerful Oz? He didn't have the powers of Dumbledore or Voldemort or even Stalin or Mao. Did he make mistakes in some of the Rinos he hired? Yeah, did he have time to correct all of them? No. Don't forget the enemy gets to fight too. |

| #14 PARAPHRASING Trump is the Enemy of my Enemies (WOKE/DEI/WEF/BLM/ANTI-FA and LSD's) therefore he has my support. As long as he is attacking the Anti-USA types and not WE THE PEOPLE. |

| #13 This election is existential for what remains of the United States I grew up in. Trump winning is at least national CPR and trauma treatment for that legacy. The alternative is national room temperature and chaos. |

| #12 I see flaws in Trump. He is a man. In him, though, I see an opportunity to attack some bad folks doing bad things as they control the most powerful country in the world. It remains an open question whether Trump will be successful, but he is the only option with regard to having this fight. Nikki is paid for by the bad folks. As for why The Donald was not successful in his first term - there are a lot of bad folks and most of them were hidden. We now see at least some of the extent of the evil at this point. |

| #11 While it's true Trump never finished his fence what is true is that many fewer attempted to come because they feared Trump would turn them away. |

| #10 IF Trump was actually unable to run for some reason, I believe he would ask his delegates to support DeSantis or Vivek. He wouldn't help Nikki if she was on fire and he had to take a piss. |

| #8 As far I am concerned. She is bought and paid for RINO leftest. Look at her campaign agenda, her major donors, and despite Trump giving her MAJOR WH admin position. She like Pence stabbed Trump in the back to save themseveles and/or make $$$$. |

| #7 Haley's "plan" seems to be to hold on teeth and toenails and hope Trump is magically removed prior to the election, when she can then say she's the only candidate. If it comes down to Haley vs Biden, I'm almost certain Biden would win. |

| #6 She got hammered in the GOP caucuses and primaries in 3 states yesterday. I'm sure she spun it as a win. |

| #5 /\ Donald Trump is a flawed man, Politics aside, possibly the only thing I have in common with the man. And in reference to #2; with respect to points made, can you inform us regarding our prospects for survival of the current Trump alternative ? Please respond at your earliest. Time is not on my side. |

| #4 Donald Trump is a flawed man, to be sure. But while he was president the number of illegals entering the country fell significantly, and rising numbers of illegals already here turned around and went back home, Contrast that with Joe Biden, who opened the floodgates and required the border patrol to cut open fencing and open doors to let even more illegals in. Bottom line, we do not get to choose between a perfect candidate and a terrible one, but between one that is better and one that is considerably worse. So even if Donald Trump is all that you say he is, he still was and will be again infinitely better for America and the world than any Democrat who runs against him. |

| #2 Hello Trailing Wife - great respect to you, but we are going to disagree on Trump too late for me to reply on the other story so please see here - Yes, Trailing Wife, Trump made zero attempt to build the wall. Sorry, but a few miles of iron fence that you can cut through with a grinder or oxy torch is not a wall. A wall from sea to shining sea, is what he promised. Repeatedly. His signature promise. Everyone chanted 'build the wall'. I hoped he would. he never even started on a wall His own supporters had to go fund themselves a wall, remember that? the disabled war vet who tried to raise funds and do it himself? That's what Trump left his supporters to do If he had wanted to build the wall he could have signed the executive order on Day 1 of his presidency and retasked the military he was after all the commander-in-chief for 4 whole years instead you get excuses after excuses. Oh, it's too hard. Oh the democrats stopped him. oh the court cases. He had a majority in congress and the senate for the first 2 years. He had the power to hire and fire. He had executive orders. There was not even a serious attempt. He could have implemented that electronic e-Verify, made it national, so illegals couldn't get work. He did nothing because he didn't want to do anything It was just a lie, and he loved the theatre of it, all the time knowing once he got in power, he would do whatever the party donors wanted and the party donors want cheap labour and open borders because they are corporate globalists. he'll probably run with Nikki Haley as VP to satisfy these donors you watch and see Trump is a salesman That's what he does. |

| #1 Trump hired Nikki Haley the raytheon/boeing candidate, and sent her to the UN he hired a boatload of neocons Trump is the establishment candidate. They love him. He's their salesman for pretending you have a choice that isn't them. this Democrat lawfare, multiple lawsuit "attacks" on trump, is all theatre to reinvent Trump as anti-establishment, which you couldn't have believed otherwise. It was the only thing that could have made him popular with his base, who he betrayed All it is, is so you will think the Democrats hate him, and he can leave behind his betrayal of J6 protesters and his complete sell-out of border security by not building a wall, and increasing and expanding the Swamp when in office |
