Haley
- Thread starter twenty02
- Start date
I was thinking of the bussing of mirgrants to Martha’s Vineyard. It’s the angriest I seen you on here. Bitcoin is the litmus test.I don't like Haley's positions, either. Maybe it's your judgment that's cloudy?
So, you came back from the future to tell us this?
I want to know who won all the horse races and the World Series that are coming up in the next few years.
Lol. Angry? I wasn't angry. I was highly critical. I don't get emotional over politics. I might have strong opinions, but they don't involve feelings.
@twenty02 Don’t sleep on Dan Quayle. He’s quietly been preparing for an out of nowhere late entry 2024 Republican primary sneak attack for the better part of the last 30 years. Nowadays, dude can spell potato in his f*ckin sleep.
Is “locking congress in a room” a right that is constitutionally afforded to the president?
Per NPR today, Christie is not getting on the NH ballot. Seems they claim he didn't get enough "certified" signatures.
That would have probably been the Cruz/ Fiorina ticket but Trump was superior to Clinton.
He needs to drop out and get behind Haley ASAP. I figured he was already trying to soften that landing when he white knighted her at the debate.
Welcome back, Timmy! I had you written off as OD ing on Ritalin or something.
The best thing Christie could do is pull out and tell his voters to support Haley. Then he should go on the campaign trail blasting Trump so Haley doesn’t have to do it.
Win and pick Christie as VP or wait till after victory and appoint him AG.

That’s a pretty good plan. Are you on board with Haley? I think JD Vance is a strong possibility for VP for any candidate other than Trump.
He makes sense as AG. Bad pick for VP, though. I think she would want someone who is at least MAGA-adjacent.
Christie as AG would be a disaster. We need someone in there who will identify the FBI and deep state actors who have tried to thwart Trump and then find a crime to stick on them. Someone who will twist and contort abstract legal theories to go after any Democrat in a position of power, anywhere. Litigate the case against Trump’s attackers to the ends of the earth.
It needs to be a Justice department of vengeance, because mutually assured destruction is the only way that this current Justice department can be responded to. Anything less, is tacit acceptance and they will go back to the playbook again next time they have the opportunity.
Ah, I get it now. The reason it's so important for you to believe that the Dems have abandoned the rule of law is simply that you desperately want the Republicans to abandon the rule of law, and you're trying to find a way to justify it.
Stop playing games. Just admit you don't care much for the law, justice or democracy, and instead only care about winning.
There can only be one smartest man in the world and you are damn convinced it is you, so I get why Buttegeig doesn't seem smart to you.
Did you not extensively praise Trump's communication style in '16? Doesn't that style featuring single syllable partial sentences? Hell, I am horrible at grammar and speak 50 times better than him. So what makes 3rd grade English so effective? He is speaking to people who view Jethro Bodine's 6th grade education as pure communism.
That isn't to say these people aren't smart, they just believe reading a philosophy or science book as useless and off-putting.
Not at all. I take no enjoyment in the idea of Democrats being targeted by the Justice Department without evidence of a crime. But that is the response that is warranted now.
The alternative would be a slow moving coup by Judicial Democratic operatives with no resistance. Unacceptable. There doesn’t seem to be much consensus on either side for both sides going weapons down with the lawfare. If there was, that would of course be preferable.
We have a mod on this forum that routinely says Trump needs to be taken down “by any means necessary”. Routinely calls out MConnell for holding up Garland while defending Reid blowing up the filibuster as “necessary”.
What is that if not a craven desire for politically “winning”?
Haley clocks Biden in the general probably sending long coattails down the ticket. Here's hoping she gets the nomination. Trump loses the general. GOPers like me who will never vote for Trump probably end up electing Biden again - although that match up does invite a credible 3rd party person to run which at least would be wildly interesting. I'm just not sure who could do it. I think a GOP gov from a Blue state (like Hogan) or a Dem gov from a Red state (like the KY guy?) would be a good answer, but just don't see it. Not sure Manchin could pull it off, but maybe (would moderate Republicans vote for him? I sure would over Trump).Surging in New Hampshire polling this past month. Within 14 points of Trump.
New poll shows Haley gaining on Trump in Republican primary
Support for former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has doubled since the last poll, while former President Donald Trump is holding steady.www.wmur.com
Haley also looking much stronger then Trump in a General election matchup. In PA for example, Haley running about 5 points better than Trump ( vs Biden). Similar trends in WI, MI, and GA show Haley running stronger than Trump (vs Biden).
Her path looks like a strong 2nd place finish in Iowa which would knock DeSantis out of the race. Then see what happens in NH. Some Iowa momentum could potentially boost her enough in NH to come close to a draw. Then it's on to her home state.
Will it happen? likely not. But it's not an impossibility. Really the only one that can legitimately say that at this point.
The MAGA crowd is clearly setting all targets on her.

Yes. I did praise Trumps communication style. Good memory. There is no way to measure this, but I’d bet that if you gave Trump and Buttegeig to explain something to 100 people randomly selected, more would remember and understand Trumps explanation. Trump speaks in images. Buttegeig is almost all abstractions.
But being able to communicate to common people is not necessarily a sign of intelligence. I have no doubt Buttegeig has a lot of native intelligence. But it stays between his ears. He can’t get it out there and apply it. That takes more intelligence. In my years of practice I’ve run into lawyers who might be able to explain a nuanced legal principle in a law review article, but they couldn’t examine or cross examine a witness or argue to a jury. I’ve heard some very good lawyers who could make convincing arguments and they are very smart..
Such a boneheaded take. Come on man. If you're actually a Republican, stop the nonsense.
There you go! Don't say you're a Trumpster, without saying you're a Trumpster. That's what Trump calls her because he's a frickin' a$$hole. You repeat it because you're a Trumpster. Just STFU, or say, "Hey, I'm all in on Trump, he's my man, I'd like to lick his shoes!" LOL!
I’m not a Republican. I consider myself a fiscal conservative. She’s not a bright bulb, compared to DeSantis.
I know you like Bush, but the Iraq war was the worst foreign policy decision Vietnam. Besides the loss of life and trillions of dollars it ultimately led to the Democratic majority which passed Obamacare. Not to mention his bailing out of the banks with TARP. He’s a nice person, but awful President. Also, I don’t consider any of them good Presidents.
Superb news! If Trump allies wanted Haley to be his running mate it would be a sign that she’s as unfit to be President as he is. Thanks.
