Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

My guess is that her plan is to either become the Republican nominee of Trump goes to jail, or (more likely) set herself up for a 2028 campaign. Endorsing Biden would end her prospects for the latter, so it's not going to happen.

The GOP is the party of Trump now. Haley came out swinging at Trump in the primaries. Her career as a GOP politician is over. They’ll run Don Jr. in 2028 before they run Haley.

Doubt it. Trump is hanging on by a fingernail. The entire GOP infrastructure is teetering on the edge with it.

They get slammed every election recently, Roe v Wade is against them and their strongest part is nobody wants Joe Biden. GOP is on life support brother.

Demographics say that the GOP won't even be a national party by 2028.

That is why they are all in on #fascism.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I've said it since they threw Palin beside McCain. They don't have an end goal, they were circling the drain then

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

The GOP is the party of Trump insomuch as it gets them votes from the unwashed masses. If Trump goes to jail and public opinion somehow starts to sour, they'd endorse someone else like Haley instead.

More likely, though, is that MAGA voters continue to support any politician who turns Trump's persecution complex into their campaign goals. Maybe they win the presidency and the fascism train kicks on under some Trump sycophant, or maybe the continued extremism and fragmentation of the Republican party costs them more and more elections until the movement eventually just fizzles out.

I think you’ve nailed it. She’s only out of the race, for now.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

lol of course she fucking wont.

Any time you see the question "Will [republican] do the right thing and..." the answer is almost always no. No, the republicans will not do the right thing, and we have decades of evidence of that. You may get the occasional right thing (like McCain and the healthcare vote, or Cheney and the J6 committee), but by and large my money is on them doing the wrong thing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean Liz Cheney in the J6 committee, but your excellent point stands.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I did, thanks for the correction!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Hahahhahahahhahah. Good one.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

She will endorse Trump.

Sure saw what kind of money SCOTUS is getting, she wants some of that sugar too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

If the headline is a question, the answer is always "no"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Lol of course she won't. That would require far more integrity and courage than anyone left in the GOP possesses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Pfft...Haley has the spine of a pool noodle. Of course no.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I read Nikki Haley as Kristi Noem, and frowned at this headline in confusion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I wouldn’t be overly surprised to find Haley is a puppy killer too.

Or any other republican.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Remember that episode of South Park where the KKK endorses one side and no one on that side likes it? It's like that. If she endorses Biden, that's a sign a troubled times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

tl;dr - No.
