Nikki Haley Announces
. . . her bid for the GOP nom. I suppose it’s time to send some reporters to Mar-A-Lago to await the white puff of smoke that indicates DJT has chosen a derogatory nickname; wonder what it will be. Thought Nikki Fail-y would be good at the UN. Big disappointment! Iran and China still members.
Well, that’s not fair. The story says he approved and welcomes the competition.
She’s more interesting than Pence and more electable than Pompeo. She’d wipe the floor with Harris in debates if Joe fades away. Palin-endorsed. Jan. 6 critic for the moderates. Parents were immigrants. Interesting addition to the mix, no?

“Nikki Fail-y” is good, but when the time comes, I’d go with “Clique-y Haley.”
Definitely interesting. I have a hard time imagining her pulling it off; I have an easy time imagining that I could learn as much between 23/24 as I did in 15/16.
Smart to announce this early.
Does anyone still believe debate performance matters? Does anyone still believe Republican candidates should participate in debates as they have been historically organized?
Does anyone believe televised debates advance democracy?
If she’s the nominee, I won’t bother to turn up. The NT crowd taught me that one. I won’t vote for another Republican that I don’t like.
My money is on Yes. I have no idea who, though.
You shouldn’t be learning things from idiot losers.
They broke the contract, not me. I voted for Romney, I voted for McCain, I voted for for Bob [redacted] Dole. Then they did everything they could to tear down a candidate I did support. So never again. If that means the Dems win, then so be it. It’s not like she would make any difference.
Do you think Haley would be as bad as Romney or McCain?
I suppose the biggest problem she might have would be the Dims exploding over the first woman president not being a Dim, like happened with nominating Janice Rogers Brown to SCOTUS.
I’m not going to argue about this and I don’t give a damn about your opinion.
I like. She’ll make a great president.
Of course he approved. The more the field is packed with vanity candidates, the more likely Trump is to win. Trump is likely to lose a one on one race with DeSantis. Trump has to be heavily favored in a race against DeSantis and a field of twenty. Trump greatly welcomes all insignificant additions to the field.
They would claim she isn’t a real woman, or a real minority.

Judge,
Press on, press on! however the kedavises of the world may discourage you, with
All I can think of is:
“Hey Nicki you’re so fine”
“You’re so fine you blow my mind”
“Hey Nicki”
Ba Boom Tap
“Hey Nicki”
Ba Boom Tap.
First thought you’ve expressed all morning that I agree with! (Although that is 50% of the total, which is pretty good).
It’s just a routine instance of the WFB Process for selecting a candidate for public office
I agree with both your, and Judge Mental’s process, even though they disagree.
It depends upon the potential voter’s judgement about conditions at the time of the election.
Your method seems right while there exists a republic in decline that might be still saved by the voters. His: afterwards.
Nikki Haley: Well worth listening to.
Kamala Harris: fingernails on a blackboard.
Corporate media will treat here like the LA times treated Larry Elder.
These people are shameless.
She is more McCain (bomb bomb bomb) than Romney (Dbag downsizer). I think her run is more of a money grab than anything else.
Damn you, Thelonious! Now I have to find someone to pass this earworm on to.
She won’t be the nominee, nor will she be president.
It matters less who the ultimate Republican nominee is (Haley? DeSantis? Trump?), then on whether or not the GOP commits the time, energy and resources to turning out the vote using the current legal ballot harvesting tactics and methods. Elections are won in the weeks before “Election Day” by banking as many votes as possible AS EARLY as possible, not “turning out voters” at the last minute.
True, her race and gender won’t stop the Left from calling her a white supremacist and a misogynist cause . . . that’s just what they do.
and when they do, corporate media will complain about it
Yawn.
How many Obama/Trump voters nationwide would she get? 200? 300?
Who is her base? NRO pundits?
Trump appoints her to the UN as a reward to the Lt. Governor so he can become Governor. Inconsequential post.
I’m sure you’ll hear lots of noise about how she will gin up the women’s vote in the suburbs. Have just read here about how good she would be in a debate. We all need a good laugh at those pundits who say ridiculous things.
Yes! Bring me all the former governors! You can keep all the senators and former reality show hosts at home :)
successful governors
former governors who created Obamacare at the state level – we can skip
Not a surprise, she has been angling toward this since before she got the appointment to U.N. Am sure she “checks some boxes” for those obsessed with such things. Far from the top of my list.
She will be the knife thrower on DeSantis behalf . The GOP is so easy to read .
How is she in dealing with the hate media?
