her words about trump turning away women ring pretty hollow when she's still going to fucking vote for him
My thoughts exactly. Fuck her.
If her words cause more than one person not to, she's helping.
Just trying to hedge her bets. Doesn't want to be fully against Trump if he wins, but wants to be able to say she warned about this if he loses and the party collapses into infighting. Just a rat getting in position to flee a sinking ship.
She’s still gonna vote for him though
The "ripping to shreds":
This is not a time for them to get overly masculine with this ‘bromance’ thing that they’ve got going. 53 percent of the electorate are women. Women will vote.
This surprised me knowing what we know about Haley kowtowing to Trump even after being denigrated by him time after time.
The problem is this news source. It doesn't report she's telling her supporters to vote for Trump
Here are others on the same story:
The Hill - Haley: Support for Trump an ‘easy call’
The Independent - Nikki Haley pens last-minute op-ed backing Trump and says it was ‘an easy call’ despite constant primary bashing
NBC News - Nikki Haley says Pennsylvania voters must 'take the emotion out' and elect Trump
the thing is she'll instantly flip again if he wins, and asks for her be on his team. Not to mention she's still voting for him anyway. Don't believe the hype yall
clearly she's setting herself up to be the antimaga standard bearer. her problem is that even without trump, there's not enough rational republicans left in the party. what the party is going to do now is continue to purify itself to be more maga. if it's not going to be trump again (and remember, there's no law or constitutional restriction that says felons, incarcerated or not can't run for or be elected president), the next charismatic magat is going to be the next nominee. because the most rabid, reactionary, and active member of that party are all magats.
The good news is that cults of personality tend to fail if their personality becomes a disgraced loser.
What do they do when their personality was a disgraced loser from the start?
Con them into doing a Truman-like reality tv show (that they don’t know about;) and then gaslight the ever living fuck out of them?
Edit: I know. Tell him he’s doing a TV show called “Best Wing” (or whatever,) and tell him it’s like West Wing, but it highlights the glory of his presidency. Throw in some cheap flattery, bury in his contract the relevant permissions and that he can quit any time by exiting the full the Trump Stage (through a door at the top of a few flights of stairs)
Set up the Best Wing studio to be like a big brother set, complete with hidden halls so they can pop out and move stuff and generally fuck with the guy.
he was such a disgraced loser in 2020 his deranged followers assaulted the capitol. I dunno, I think those bozos will come out for trump no matter how low he falls.
I can understand why.
To shreds you say?
I disagree with Nimarata Randhawa. The Trump campaign should continue with their current alpha dog messaging.
