Nikki Haley breaks with Trump: 'We shouldn't have followed him'

So the race for the 2024 GOP nomination has begun with a whine.

 

It begun with a reality check, and that is not a bad place to start

 

Sad to say, I agree. There must be some benefit to her now.

 

After a candidate loses the party turns on them especially when they are a sitting president losing reelection. No republican was begging George H Bush to run again in 96 or 2000 right?

Trump's primary political job was to hold on to the white house and he did not. Of course they will see him as a liability.

 

ABSOLUTELY!!! No Democrats were clamoring for Jimmy Carter to give it another go either...lose reelection and it's off to the political wastelands with ye.

 

To what end?

 

Good for her, I agree, unless she says Trump incited an insurrection.

 

You just don't understand how RINOS get identified and "weeded" out.

 

Rino's haven't won an election since Bush. How are they the gold standard?

 

Then she just made a terrible mistake

 

Who could ever forget the thousands of rounds fired into Portland and other besieged Democrat strongholds by roving gangs of Trump 2nd supporters?

 

If you think "Nothing wrong with Bill Kristol" than likely we disagree on much, including the viability or desirability of Haley's Presidential ambitions.

 

I think that she thinks the Trump moment will wash away and the party will return to it's pre-Trump Bush era period. If she's right, than denouncing Trump will be a good move. I just think she's wrong and that the Republican Party isn't returning to that particular version.

 

Yeah....the business as usual version. The gracious loser version. The version that is so milk toast they can't get elected and when they do, they compromise the lives away of working men and women. They also line their pockets with the great China sellout!

 

That's OK, the RINO vote is what helped an old man take back the Senate and the White House from the MAGA crowd.
You just keep alienating the RINOs, that's really working out for you.

 

Be that as it may, I have always thought of Kristol as thoughtful and admirable.

 

Sure ... the sell-out ...

 

Unfortunately the Chinese sellout happened long before the 2016 election. Most of our goods and supplies are from there.....but they haven't killed anybody as of yet. The China Virus wasn't anything purchased by Americans, it came from China also, AND it kills. Of course you KNOW the Biden Crime Family will do nothing about the sellout but SELL US OUT MORE!

 

Don't know what you are talking about. You think Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney and that one geezer from Louisiana are on top of their game? Two of them have been censored by their Party and Mitt is as good as gone!

 

According to an item in MSN News 140,000 GOP voters have given up their party registration since January 6,2021 and still rising.

 

I have no idea what the party will do. I don't care a whit what political parties do. However I think the republican party will divide between Trump supporters and the rest. It could look something like the rift in the democrat party between the
"progressives" and the rest. I see politics continue to be more and more divided.

 

She and Tom Cotton are both going to see their futures gutted if Trump decides to hold a grudge. Frankly, I hope he ends their careers.

 

She ended her career outside of the establishment. Many others made the same choice and they will understand that not far down the road.

 

The time is coming when Republicans will scrape Trump off the bottom of their shoes.

 

Fingers crossed
