The former governor could beat Biden. But Trump is ahead in New Hampshire by double digits. Can Haley pull off a miracle tomorrow? We asked her on the campaign trail.
Nikki Haley is a dumber and—I cannot believe this is actually possible—less likeable version of Hillary Clinton. I live in New Hampshire, and despite the Haley campaign’s plastering signs all over our roads and flooding TVs with her annnoying ads every 5 seconds, the only people I know who support her are Democrats. She’s funded by Reid Hoffman and Co., for God’s sake, so any idea that she’s a conservative has to be thrown out the window. She’s a warmonger (“We should call it the Department of Offense!” she screeched) who will adopt any position her paymasters tell her to. There’s no fucking way I would vote for her—she’s not sending my kids to die in Ukraine, that’s for sure. I cannot wait to watch with glee as her campaign goes down in flames. I’ll be there when the polls open on Tuesday to add my voice to the throngs of Granite Staters who feel the same way.
Jamie Diamond, Chamath Palihapitiya---two democrat billionaires, and Lionel Shriver, democrat author, have recently, a little begrudgingly, but still, acknowledged that Trump achieved a lot, America was better, and he’s the only guy who can solve the border crisis. When you get influential lefties saying this, you know minds are changing.
Biden is steering us toward World War Three, national bankruptcy and total forfeiture of our sovereignty.
Next to him, Trump’s a saint. I’m voting for Trump.
As for Nikki Haley, she’s a lightweight, no obvious qualifications to be President. Two years as U.N. ambassador then quitting rather suddenly. A couple of terms of governor with no major achievements. Wants to (somehow ) force us all to use real names online, and she wants to keep the war going in Ukraine. No thanks.
This was a good read. I’ll just say that Haley is “leading Biden in hypothetical polls” because the Democrat media establishment hasn’t turned its guns on her yet. All the nice talk about reaching out or Being a President For All Americans would go out the window if Haley somehow became the nominee. The media would quickly christen her the “first woman of color to be the reincarnation of Hitler.” Her rapid increase in net worth would matter all of a sudden (despite Biden being far shadier and richer). College classmates would swear she used to say the N word. Etcetera.
Don’t kid yourself about unity. They did it to McCain, who before 2008 called the media “my base.” The media hates Republicans: politicians and voters alike. Thats why we hate them and love Trump. You either get that or you don’t.
“ Everyone knows that the typical MAGA voter is white, rural, and working class.” Do they now? That arrogant, inaccurate, racist and elitist stereotype would be at home in the New York Times, but should be beneath The Free Press. How disappointing.
Haley would be worse for America than Biden. Her victory would represent a victory for the elites in DC. She’s basically the next iteration of George W Bush, and if she defeats Trump, she and her crony friends would further entrench the status quo.
All this ink spilt on Haley: why aren’t you reporting on Robert Kennedy Jr who is polling ahead of Biden, Trump and certainly Haley in all major polls. Why is media—legacy as well as substack repudiating an interesting and popular contender?
"Why in the world is Nikki Haley holding a rally in the middle of nowhere?” a talking head asked Katy Tur during her midday MSNBC show..."
Why in the world would anyone listen to someone who watches MSNBC and Katy Turd? At midday, no less? I'm with Bannon. If Trump decides to pick a woman, Tulsi would be the one.
Given her waffling answers on gender issues (what is a woman?) and on immigration, I certainly hope not. It is as if she is trying to say the least offensive thing possible and play it both ways. Have some principles other than I just want to get elected.
I have to be blunt: when Nikki announced after Iowa, after finishing third, that "This is now a two person race," I thought, This is just like listening to Karine Jean-Pierre, or John Kirby, or Alejandro Maorkas. She finished Third. There are three people!
I am exhausted from liberals turning the world upside down, from telling blatant lies, from -- OMG Making It Up!! I don't care that it is now in fact a two person race. That was not what Haley declared a week ago. Which leads me to Trump: his fantasies and exaggerations are almost comical but we have gotten used to them, like a pointless halftime show at a college bowl game. Why did Haley have to go there?
“A Republican friend in New York—someone who shocked me when she first came out as a Trump supporter—“
——————————————————-
I love how supporting Trump is the social equivalent of being gay in the 50s.
Ain’t no way she’s gonna pull through
For better or for worse, whatever you think of him, Trump is the nominee
Either vote for four more years of the status quo (foreign wars, uncontrolled spending, open borders), or vote for the Orange Man
Trump 2024, baby

You knew this article was a fail when Nocera used the sad trope of Trump wants to be a dictator. How trite…

NOPE
I am a woman, and HALEY is NOT who I would want as the first female president. Actually I prefer Tulsi Gabbard.
“Everyone knows that the typical MAGA voter is white, rural, and working class…”
People really have a tendency to go all Pauline Kael whenever Trump’s name is mentioned, huh?

As long as we are talking about dictators---Biden just forgave more billions in student loans, AFTER the Supreme Court struck that down.
