Nikki Haley Is Done

The second thing she would do in office is require identity verification on social media.

How is this a winning policy?

The trouble with neocons like Haley is they are out of touch with Republican-leaning voters. Not Republicans; they know lots of Republicans who think like they do. They are donors, long-time supporters, lobbyists, golf buddies, etc.

She’s elite now, a veritable Brahmin in America, and Vivek is an untouchable… or scum. Same thing pretty much.

This type of Republican has dismissed the MAGA hordes as an enemy in private, but also as a force they’d just rather avoid. They want to pretend the ugly elephant isn’t in the room.

Is it that they still do not understand the sentiment and feelings that manifested Trump or that they don’t want to understand it?

They really must believe that these people are deluded and in some kind of cult. They simply don’t want these voters in ‘their’ party and hold them in contempt, and they just try not to inflame their sentiments by avoiding certain subjects. They think we’re stupid. Of course. You’d have to be stupid, right? Come on, man! as Uncle Joe would mumble.

Nikki is also playing the girl-card way too reflexively. This is not a smart strategy. Conservatives don’t like identity politics and Democrats laugh hysterically when Republicans try it.

Vivek doesn’t have a “girl problem” by going after an NBC anchor who lies brazenly, a chairwoman who loses continually, and an ‘ambassador’ who is not very diplomatic.

    Because surely Vivek would be happy with lying NBC anchors if only they were men. Losing RNC chairs if only they were men.

    That's what we're expected to believe when they run to "You're just a misogynist!" as a defense.

    Felt the same way when I was called racist for opposing so many of Obama's policies. Because, sure, I'd be all in favor of Marxism if it was a white man promoting it, right? How dumb is that?

    Nimarata "Nikki" Randhawa is a total statist. Xi She should wear a NASCAR type suit with logos for: Google, NSA, FISA, CIA, Pfizer, WHO,...

    Imagine if Nikki had already gotten the nomination and said this.

    I understand she’s ‘walking it back’ now claiming only foreign actors should be “verified”, but that’s almost as clueless.

    Elites do not trust the American people and believe they are easily propagandized by tweets. By bots! Yes, they have a corrosive effect over time but they don’t change minds or elections. What does change elections is our ‘trusted’ sources withholding information falsely charging treason on Presidents they don’t agree with, and lie brazenly to our faces, then smile defiantly when called out.

    That’s a national security issue, Nikki

    I watched for as long as I could stand it. (About 13 seconds.) That's a pretty stupid explanation. Too bad.

    Haley has been moving up the polls. I suspect that is because she has been spending a lot of money and not doing many interviews. Now that she is doing interviews and revealing that she is just "High Heels McCain", I expect the voters will reject her. She has that same weird Raytheon stink that McCain had--an odor of being a Democrat in GOP clothing, so she can advocate for more bombing.
